Why can the police be such a--holes?

Sometimes I wonder why people can be such assholes in this world. This is a tale of my driving record and a Florida highway patrol officer. I drive a beatup '92 Mercury Sable, I don't speed and obey all traffic laws.

I was at a stoplight the other day listening to a CD, nothing out of the norm. Sometimes to pass the time between red lights I like to look around my surroundings. I look left, I look right, I look into my rear view mirror to see who's behind me for no particular reason at all. Maybe I'll see a hot looking woman eh? It was a cop, no big deal.

As I was making a left turn the blue lights behind me began flashing. I figured there was a speeder or something in front of me so I quickly changed lanes, he followed. It was like a guard in Metal Gear Solid that exclamation point appeared over my heard. I'm going to bonkers trying to figure out what I've done as I pull into a nearby parking lot and await Mr. Cop guy to knock on my window.

First words out of his mouth were, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "No sir," I replied as I quickly pullled out a dagger from between my seats and jabbed him in the throat and sped off."

I mean, all I replied was "no sir." He tells me that my tag has expired. Well, yeah, my tag did expire, 10 freaking days after the expiration date. I get a ticket for $47.

DO YOU COPS OUT THERE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO OUT THERE WHY DON'T YOU GO FIGHT CRIME BUST DRUG DEALERS OR PULL OVER SPEEDERS BLLLLLLLLLARRRRRRRRRGH SHIT TACO AADLGKJA;LEKAD!!!!1

The expiration date on a license plate had a date of 10/03. This guy had nothing better to do than make a big deal out of this? 10 days! Not 10 weeks, not 10 months, but 10 days?!?!? We were already in the process of renewing the tags, but hesitated a little due to the fact the money well was pretty dry. Being poor sucks. As much as I wanted to argue with the cop, I didn't, I felt like I would be wasting my breath.

From the looks of this guy, he looked in his early 20's. I bet he couldn't wait to tell the guys at the station that he wrote a ticket to someone who's tag expired a week and a half ago. Fucker.

Personally I've never had any problems with the Police in my area and in fact I've got quite a few buddies and regular customers on the force. :)

Okay, back when I was 18 or 19, I was driving the now infamous (in my circles) '88 Yugo. I was heading to my church youth group, and although I would have been hauling ass since I was running late, as I stated before I was in a fucking YUGO so speeding just doesn't happen.

Anyway, there's a cop behind me. Okay, I'm pretty close to the downtown police station, no biggie. I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm giving my turn signals, etc etc. He follows me. I turn into the church parking lot. He follows me and flashed his lights. Fuck.

So Mr. Officer comes up to me, and I roll down the window. I didn't do shit, so I'm not worried. He was a chinese guy around 30 years old, who barely spoke English. This is a problem, seeing as how he and I could barely understand each other.

He sees my license and registration. He asks me where I was going (I'm going HERE, dumbass) then asked me who the church pastor was (I didn't know this actually, I only came on wednesdays) yadda yadda yadda. He then asks me where my gun is.

My WHAT? I asked him to repeat himself, I can't believe he asked me where my gun was. He said he saw the shells, now where is the gun? The "shells" were sockets from my cheap socket set...the sockets were all over the car. They are SOCKETS not BULLETS you ASS.

Another cop pulls up behind him. I'm saved! It's actually a cop that goes to the church and recognizes me. This combined with the fact that they see a bunch of christian cd's and a bible in the backseat, the Chinese guy finally believes me. Oy.

In the end, I get a ticket for driving with no insurance. He pulled me because I took a corner "too erratically." Bleh. I still came out on top, I paid a $100 ticket, but I saved $600 in insurance.

When I finally got into the church (40 minutes after it had started) there was much laughter pointed to my general direction.

Didnt you ever read what their badge says? Its really just an asshole license :)

About two weeks ago I was driving through a school zone and I made sure to check for flashing lights.... no flashing so I am doing the speed limit (35). So about a mile down I turn into my buddy's apartment complex and I pull up to the gate and then a cop which is one car behind me says on his speaker "silver car make a u turn back to me"

He asks for my license and what not and I glance at the time and it is 2:20! This is after the fact that he didn't pull me over right away. I get my ticket and it says 2:35, school zone doesnt start until 2:30. He said "I cut you break, you were going 15 over in a school zone but I wrote down you were doing 9 over" (which goes from $320 to $71). Fucking asshole pig, he probably was trying to meet a quota or something.

Police have been nothing but kind and forgiving to me, so I can't really say anything bad about them.

A few weeks ago me and a bunch of friends from work decided to play some football after work at the local park. It was already dark so we used an awesome glow in the dark football.

About an hour into the game a cop pulls up, gets out and leans over the fence with his flashlight.

"Hey fellas...whats going on?"
"Football. Wanna play?"
*Cop looks around*
"....You're not drinking or anything?"
"Nope."
"...Huh! Okay well just keep it down a little.....is it tackle?"
"Yeap."
"COOL!"
"Wanna play?"
"Yeah, let me put down my gun."

No hilarity did not ensue but that was the coolest cop I had ever met =D

S|1p that kicks serious ass. I wouldn't be surprised if one of you calls time out and runs to get his gun.

HAHA you stupid cop! I have your gun!!!!! hey what's this th....POW! Timmy?

I wish my hometown had your cops. We've got nothing but pigs who like to bust on people out of spite.
