Cops aren't my friend. They want my money, and if I open up my mouth to point out how rude they are, then I'll pay for it. There's a special place in hell for overzealous cops.

The last time I was pulled over (and the first time in a very long time) the officer as me if I knew why he'd pulled me over. I just looked at him, visibly sighed, and said "It's probably because of my expired tags". After a short, pleasant, conversation he just "take care of by Monday please" and I was on my way.<br /><br />There's no reason to be an ass.

I've worked with police officers for over 30 years, and generally if a person cooperates and keeps their mouth shut, they can walk away without a ticket. There are a million violations of traffic (and other laws) per day per police department. Give the officer a reason to give you a break and he will. <br /><br />People talk themselves into tickets and arrests all the time when all the officer wants to do is restore peace, calm people down, and let them go on their way. <br /><br />Here is a post on the subject I put up the other day. <br /><a href="http://tooldtowork.blogspot.com/2010/05/lessons-learned-maybe.html" rel="nofollow">Lessons Learned (Maybe)</a><br /><br />I'll be adding you to my blogroll, hopefully you'll see fit to do the same. <br /><br />Thanks.TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082146808421788008.post-88785544677931809912010-05-23T09:49:49.493-07:002010-05-23T09:49:49.493-07:00It makes my day when someone I stop gives me the &...It makes my day when someone I stop gives me the 'tude', because 95% or more of the people I cite are polite, courteous, respectful, and realize I'm just doing my job, and even if they don't directly say so (a lot do however), know that they were in the wrong. And yes, many of them get breaks from me. But the 5%ers out there? They are the "special" ones!

Recently I was in a car with a friend of mine and despite my protests he sorta ran a red light... well it was yellow and he was going sooo slow (a good 10 below the speed limit) that it turned red before we got fully into the intersection. <br /><br />Anyway there was a motor cop in the area (A female motor cop I might add!) and he got pulled over. And he's freaking out, saying how he was going to argue etc (*headdesk*). I told him "Just hand her your papers applogise and admit your mistake" He did, and instead of the $200+ ticket he got a $35 by-law infraction ticket. <br /><br />It pays to be an adult and Admit your mistake and be respectful A nice motor cop out there might just give you a break!<br /><br />xx<br />JaxsAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071125157930976758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082146808421788008.post-40500358386139269002010-05-21T14:25:36.801-07:002010-05-21T14:25:36.801-07:00"I'm sure you could transpose the words &..."I'm sure you could transpose the words 'officers' and 'citizens' and have just as true a statement."<br /><br />No argument from me there. However, who's more likely to get gunned down by surprise at a traffic stop: an officer by a hostile citizen or a citizen by a hostile officer? <br /><br />I would think the less Law Enforcement did to agitate its targets -- especially the nasty ones -- the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082146808421788008.post-36325119773036250582010-05-21T12:38:44.192-07:002010-05-21T12:38:44.192-07:00"So, really, it has nothing to do with the la..."So, really, it has nothing to do with the law; it's all based on your feelings.

I'm sure you could transpose the words "officers" and "citizens" and have just as true a statement.<br /><br /> As far as respect is concerned, it's a mutual thing.2 wheel terrorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973809699446617118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082146808421788008.post-48732956762471143642010-05-21T07:31:18.625-07:002010-05-21T07:31:18.625-07:00"Joe had basically talked himself into a tick..."Joe had basically talked himself into a ticket which I was more than happy to oblige."
