I hate cops?
Find answers to your legal question.





I hate cops?

I came to a four way stop, I stopped and it was clearly my turn to go. Cop rolls through and nearly hits me. Cops don't have to stop? What they don't have to obey the rules of the road? Stupid Cop pulls me over and we go through the whole thing about stopping. I'm right. I didn't get a ticket or anything. I just refuse to be a victim of a bully! It was my turn tp go! Should I waste my time on fillling charges against him or let ti go?

you should definitely file a complaint... he wasted your time by pulling you over and bullying you... cops are not above the law, they need to obey the law too, and set an example... i'd follow through with it if it were me... good luck!!

If you know that you are 100% correct, and it would make you feel better, then by all means file a complaint. In the mean time, I'm supplying you with some reading material.

I would let it go since the cop let it go. Cops have a tough job, get little appreciation for their work, and are often characterized by the few bad apples that exploit their position as cops. They usually give speeders and other minor law breakers slack. You should give them a little slack for minor incidents too.

"It was my turn to go"??? How do you figure?

Traffic laws DO NOT give the right of way to anyone other than an emergency vehicle.

At a 4 way stop, the law says 'the driver shall yield to the vehicle on the right",,,, but it DOES NOT give you the right of way.

Obviously, your hatred for law enforcement is much deeper than this one traffic stop and nothing I, or anyone else, can say that would change that.

It must be a ***** being you....

Let it go, its no biggie. He prob just made the mistake, I doubt he deliberately just went "oh I'm a cop so I'm going to barge through and cause a potential accident".

He was in the wrong, but everyone makes mistakes. He probably should not have pulled you over though, unless it was for something else.

Hope he said sorry to you too.

PS: Don't hate cops just cause of this little incident. Your going to call on one some day and you will thank God they are there to help.

I would let it go....your not going to win....maybe he just pulled you over because he thought that you were cute, and he wanted to talk to you !!!!!!! Or it could be that just like in sports, an empire sees something one way and we the spectators see it another way !!!!!!!

Let it go. The last thing you want to do is bring yourself to their attention in a negative light. You piss them off enough, who knows what they'll do. They don't have to obey the laws. Who's going to arrest them? Their buddies?

There's nothing you can do about it.

Grow up and get over it.

Minor infractions are often over looked, perhaps you can be adult and do the same.

Yeah, the police do get a little cavelier with traffic laws. I know of one that used to regularly leave his cruiser in a spot clearly marked no parking for the night (he had a nearby apartment). I parked there once and got a ticket (not by him but by the regular ticket lady).

Still, it was the NYFD and NYPD that headed into the flames, not you or me!

Sue you have to sue him, sell your house & car, call one of the T V lawyers give them all the money, and sue, sue

If I were you, if there is a witness I would report the cop. If not, it's just your word against his/hers, and I would probably still report him/her, the important thing is to think through your reason for reporting. If it's because you think the cop acted inappropriately or endangerd you or anyone else, and did not show concern, then that's a good reason. If, on the other hand, the cop was apologetic and appropriate and there was a good reason, then I would let it go, everyone makes mistakes.

Trust me here ----- let it go. He'll never get penalized, but you will become a future target for harassment.
My dear old Dad used to say that the recipe for instant @sshole is: 1 small man, add 1 gun, 1 badge, and top it off liberally with ego and attitude.

some cops abuse their badge.just let it go hun

You couldn't file charges against him for anything no matter how hard you try! Some cops are arsheclowns just like other people! Good for you for standing up to a no good arsheclowne of a frocking cop!

Let it go, of course.
Do you want to paint a (figurative) target on your back for all OTHER cops? It's a brotherhood, and they look after their own.


CHELSEY
i would because he is not following the RULES OF THE LAW. and its not like they hade there siren on not to stop. the same thing basically happend to my sister. it was beacuse she went around some wrinkly odd *** police on a motor cycle but she didnt get fined for it . Some police think that they can do any thing because they have the athority.

SO I SAY YES, YOU SHOULD


eric e
let it go...total misery for u if u follow through..u will be labeled.

Definitely file charges, or if you remember his number report it. Cops (especially in my area where they have 2007 Dodge Charger police vehicles) are always abusing their power. It's hard to keep track of it all because the corruption goes all the way to the top.
