I don't know about the crime part. I think you've been watching a little too much 'Shield'. I agree with you alot about mistrusting them, I don't like cops much. Never did........

I'd rather not get any tickets at all ...I can't choose because I just don't want any, no matter what it's for, I try my best to obey the law and not waste the police's time by doing something stupid when they could be out chasing the real bad guys...sorry, just can't pick one, don't want any..lol

You are going to hate this but... NOPE! HAHAHAHAHA oh sure there are days I leaved pissed (or worse, a little shaken) but for the most part I help people or help the police take cars from jerks that don't deserve them or are a danger on the roads and I make good money and work long hours that keep me outta trouble till I can pay off alllll my debts so I can start working on my goal in life since I was five of being a hero (also known as a GOOD cop).  so... sorry :) GRIN

I know of one with a criminal record who started a "newspaper" in a town. Every time he was stopped (always with cause) he'd write something nasty. He'd publish outright lies and slanderous things as 'fact' then scream freedom of the press when criticized. \n\nI've had - quite some years ago - a couple tickets. And you know what - I deserved it. I wasn't paying attention to speed and was driving too fast. Few things are important enough that an extra 5 minutes is an issue. \nI've also seen both sides...for a while in another state had an older piece of crap car and ALWAYS got pulled over. I mean 2-3 times a month and seldom drove more than 5 miles. I know why, though no one would admit it. And it wasn't *me* - I'd drive the same way in another vehicle and wouldn't get stopped. The car wasn't illegal but was suspect. Was that the cops fault? no. \n\nI can say there were people in that city that had FAR worse attitudes than the police officers.

Yes.  I work with a few different local police departments and I trust all of them.  As for the city I live in, I do, very much.  There are some great officers there and they are respectful and caring.  They try and do the best they can for the community.  The chief is awesome and backs his officers.  We don't have a lot leave from there.

If the police had law degrees why would they want to work as cops? They would all get more lucrative, less dangerous jobs in the legal profession.... I agree that police should be better trained in the nuances of the law but let's not go nuts. Plus I think the average cop is probably not smart enough to earn a law degree.

Your right, there not all the same. But the ones that have been total jerks, and have taken advantage of their position-have given Police Officers a bad name. The ones who beat up people while they are arresting someone, the ones who get off using their tazers more than once on someone, the ones who treat people inhuman while you are jailed-I could go on and on. I have talked to people, and heard the most ugliest stories-It's a CONTROL factor for some humans using their job to hide behind! BUT, God Bless the good Officers!  They put their best foot forward, and their life may be in constant danger protecting us. They are Angels sent from Heaven!

Officers....\n\n You know, you don't have to be a law-breaker to ask questions like this.   Maybe he just dislikes cops, like I do - the way good parents dislike child predators.    I coin a new term here: civilian predator.  Different from criminal.\n\n However, I  agree with some of you that you  deal with the worst elements in our society.  Although you put your lives on the line every day, statistically most of your firearm deaths are actually suicides.\n\nUnfortunately, the stress from the job cultivates an antisocial personality in yourselves. \n \n That is why the public dislikes and distrusts you more and more each day.  I've personally never been arrested, but I have been harassed, and I can't let it go.\n\nGueroes and other civilians here, you will have to disregard many of the answers that are still to come from responding police officers.  By their remarks, they will display to you their rude, childish attitudes.  Please ignore the more  vulgar comments.

Yes. On occasion.\nNo. Because I am the cop that does the rare pull over.\nWhy. Because if I let you go by me, and you make it...I am wrong.\nIf I let you go by and you hit and kill someone...we are wrong.\nYou will go to jail and we will have to live with the consequences.

Remember the CS Gas spray?? That was issued so that the police had a "LAST LINE OF DEFENSE" When they felt that they were in "Immediate physical danger" \nThey use the stuff for crowd control in our town on a friday night -I have seen it with my own eyes.\nI have had police sneering at me and making comments deliberately to goad me into violence on busy weekends. \nThe magistrates are so far up their own arses that they cannot see what they have on the streets feeding them their stock in trade! \nThe police FORGET that they are public servants and that they are paid BY US! As I grow older I become less and less trusting of them as a force and less likely to help them should I ever be called upon to do so. \nThey do a difficult job no doubt, but they forget that they are there to SERVE and respect members of the public, but from what I have seen, the public need protection from them and their arrogant abuse of power.

Of course not, lots of cops let the power go to their head and become real jerks and do bad things.  Its the few bad ones that give the good ones who are still human beings such a bad rep.

You certainly have some hangups with cops. Why not tell us what your experiences have been so we can get a better understanding of your immature responses and grudges towards police?  Maybe the obsession you seem to have with your penis and the exagerations your gf's must tell you to perform are somehow related.  \n\nFrom: gaylord focker \n\nSubject: hey \n\nMessage: Dallas blue, everybody has to go sometime right. Dont give me your bull of the cops funeral, what about when a cowardly cop shoots someone in the back, or someone that is unarmed, or mentally disturbed, what abouth the families, have you ever been to one of those funerals, have you seen the pain in the mothers, or sons eyes?, I wonder how many civilians cops kill vs civilians killing cops, I would say for every cop killed, 20 civilians are murdered by cops. Have you ever thought about this?

My kids didn't much enjoy having a police man for a father. I expected them not to get into any trouble. LOL!\n\nI did have to be careful with my duty weapon - got a special lock - and I frowned upon games like cops & robbers, war, etc. because I didn't want them thinking guns were toys.

I think it is common today what you are saying. I hear stories like this a lot, and it's not getting better. They do stick up for each other and in a way I don't blame them. They have a tough job that I know I wouldn't want. I will say there are a lot of good Cops that get a bad reputation because of the bad ones. What would help is every six months have them take Drug tests, and a polygraph test.
