When you pass a cop, do you...........?

look in the mirror just to make SURE he isn't following you? Also, do you get nervous if one is behind you, even if you aren't doing anything wrong?

I always look. I also find it funny how when a cop is writting a ticket everyone slows to the speed limit. What is he going to do, stop writting that ticket, get back in his car and chase you down so he can write one for you instead? |

damn right i do!!ever been pepper sprayed? for merely stating you have the right to a badge number and incident number? i was a witness, and the victim of the crime was tazered by an overzealous cop. when i asked for numbers i was pepper sprayed and punched in the face!! the cops left and after 3 calls we gave up calling the ambulance, i know all too well how the thin blue line works! i'm a former prison guard with 2 nephews that are cops. a cop can get away with murder, literally! |

Sometimes I look in the mirror, but the most important thing to remember is a police officer is a person just like the rest of us and they're just doing a job like the rest of us. If you're not speeding or driving with with an expired or a suspended license or registration, chances are you have nothing to worry about, and if you do get pulled over, be honest! Most officers will appreciate your honesty and might even cut you a break, because he or she is a person, just like the rest of us! Have a good day! |

I usually dont try to pass a cop in the first place if i can help it at all. With fines being as high as they are and certain cops wanting to be supercops, allot of people have a distrust of them. There are bad cops that thrive off of having the ability to do what they do. Certain cops really get off going on their power trips. The reasons for becoming a cop should be examined more closely but, is widely unregulated. I know a guy that I went to school with, and all through school he was the little geek that got constantly picked on. After we graduated he became a cop, and now has changed into a person that abuses his authority and power. Since he was treated the way he was in his younger years now he has turned into a supercop, constantly calling dispatch on plates of anyone he is behind, and writing a ton of tickets above and beyond what he sould. Dispatch gets irritated as often as he calls in peoples plate numbers checking for warrants, and othe violations. Its cops like these that everyone looks out for, fearing that they will get a ticket. Cops also are also looked at very negatively because of the tactics they use to get to pull someone over in the first place. Tailgating someone is against the law, and intimidating but, cops do it all the time to get someone to mess up. When they ride your tail at night, and cross the center line, they know that they are making you nervous, and they know that you are looking in your rear view mirror. When they do this they know that when you take your eyes off of the road and usually most end up crossing the center line themselves prompting them to have a reason to pull you over and write you a ticket. This is a form or intrapment that they use that is not only unethical but, unfair. The many that abuse their power in many differnt ways makes allot of people have a negative opinion of them. So, next time you see a cop turn on his lights just to make it through a red light to get to the donut shop, you will see what I am talking about. Their are 2 different kinds of cops, ones that enforce the law, and ones that think they are the law. In my experience of cops growing up in my town, I have known one that got away with murder,one that sold drugs out of the confiscation room, and a few that pinned a murder on 2 retarded people that had no connection at all with the crime at all!!! One kid that I know had some really bad family problems. The kid kept getting in trouble with the law but, instead of being removed from his parents, he got sent off to boy school where he got repeatedly raped. It was a certain cop that made this possible. The kid was so mentally distraught that he planned the cops murder one night. Unfortunately while waiting for the cop, he ended up getting the wrong one. Two cops was in the car, one got shot and the other ran away. The kid stole the cop car running over the cop that he just shot, and was later found. The cop that he shot lived through the deal, and now the kid is sitting in prison. The cop that happend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time is still with the police force but, is paralized. I'm not advocating what the kid done was right, even if he had got the right cop in the first place but, if the kid would have been removed from the home in the first place none of this would have happend. In the town I live in now, a female cop was just kicked off of the force because she was caught stealing from a dead woman. The cop ended up discovering that the woman was dead in her home, and stole her car taking it to a chop shop, she took her credit cards,jewelry, and other items but, was eventually caught. Because she was a cop, all that happend is that she got fired for it, And now works at a local Wal Mart of all places. If anyone else would have did the same as she did, they would be rotting in prison. Welcome to Henry County!!!! |

Don't be nervous when you pass a cop because then you might not be paying attention to your driving cause your thinking about it too much and you could do something wrong then. It is good to be aware of your surroundings, so just check out your speed and pay attention to your driving.
You know if your are or aren't doing anything wrong.
relax... take a chill pill. hahaha. lol.
(just an expression!)
:) good luck! |
