Did you ever stop to think what you would do if the upper speed limit was raised by 10? I bet you a million dollars you'd still overgo the limit simply because it is the limit.
Tell your 'that cop is an ass because he gave that guy a ticket for speeding' to my two friends who were wrapped around a tree because some speeding idiot thought it would be great to pass a truck going at the speed limit, but since the speed limit where I live is already at the peak of normal cars he could only push 10mp/h more than the truck... I hope you know where I am hinting at.
The fact is that the limits are already pretty generous and that it's human.fucking.nature to STILL want to overgo the limit even if it was higher. It is also human nature to be sure of ones self when completely intoxicated and it is also human nature to question authority simply because they had no personal hand in electing that authority.
Now step over your instincts and bloody narrow point of view and think about it a few more minutes before posting shit.
Have we got a job for you!!!! The ultimate license to be an ultimate dick, and in the meantime receive praise and honors as a "hero".
Be A Police Officer!!!
Agreed. Fair play to them.
i actually cried at them.
btw stop arguing its something to release the boredom on boring tours
If you truly want to argue that the system is not fucked, I suggest you go to a grizzly bear den and see how much it cares about your position.
I love people.
1: cops are people just like you and um... yea, me.
2: they have fun like the rest of us(except commenters 1 and 2.)
3: this is friggin hilarious!
Try this.. Next time you get mugged, robbed, shot at, car jacked, Anything.. ANYTHING AT ALL... Don't call the cops. They're just pigs after all, so they probably won't help you anyway.. right?
So do them a favor.. And don't call : )
I'm a suburban white kid, and I've had thousands of opportunities to say no to drugs. I just choose not to. I just learned how to hide my stash. been pulled over and searched 4 times in my life. Talked my way out of the first time and learned not to make the same mistake ever again.
cops are just like everyone else, some are nice, others are assholes
and generally, it's the people that give them a hard time that make most cops assholes.
why do you think the DMV has a reputation for having grumpy workers? they certainly dont have a resume asking if they're grumpy or not. they get crabby because of assholes who think they're more important than everyone else, and give them shit.
people dont give cops the respect they deserve
Law enforcement is probably a pretty tedious job after a while without one.
If you're talking about the States, when the speed limit was 10 mph more, the vehicles were smaller on average and were significantly less powerful. Despite this, there were still more accidents and fatalities than we have now (by percentage).
The only reason that there are "more" now is because there are more vehicles on the road. The percentage has actually dropped.
Oh and BTW, the guys they arrested were speeding, are drunk, if you read clearly... Get run down by a speeding car, and THEN we'll talk about how "not so bad" speeding is.
nevertheless, those were fucking funny.
hypocrites
also, #1 = lulz
I'm not saying the quotes aren't true (I know several cops, and I can almost guarantee you that all those quotes are real), but it was meant to entertain not randomly flame cops.
Oh yeah, and #1 was for the win.
but on the opposite side some cops do abuse their power. heres just one small example
big football game at my school and after it was over everyone was waiting in traffic in the school's parking lot. My dad and I were at the red light to turn out when we heard sirens. A cop car from the game was haulin ass through the parking lot and passed everyone waiting at the stop light then turned onto the main road out of the traffic. As soon as he got there he turned off his siren and returned to regular speed. That was uncalled for
And for all of you who say you don't like cops- why? Because you think its unfair that you get caught for breaking the law and putting the rest of us in danger?? Don't be so full of yourselves.
I hate cops, i have nothing on my criminal record, and the only school offense i had was a suspension back in 8th grade.
just because i hate cops doesnt mean i dont obey the law.
Just because it is their job to enforce the law doesnt mean i have to be nice to them about it
I dont expect them to be nice to me if i get caught doing something really stupid but if you ever watch the show "cops" they act like pricks to everyone, except for maybe 3 out of every 100 cops i see on that show.
Anyways. Be glad they have a sense of humor. If you're having as many problems with the cops as you claim to, here's something to try: Stop being such a colossal dick. The very phrase "I hate cops" speaks to me of the very 'us vs. them' mentality that makes all members of law enforcement into enemies. If you're polite, not committing a felony, and willing to see a police officer as a guy with a mortgage doing his job, they're more interested in just getting the ticket done and returning to their crossword puzzles.
Seriously.
You're basing your opinions on other's stories about cops. That's just biased. Normally when people tell stories they tell them so that they themselves look better. I know I've been guilty of it as I'm sure most people are.
"Just because it is their job to enforce the law doesnt mean i have to be nice to them about it"
So you're not going to be nice to them and you expect them to be nice to you back? Life doesn't work like that. The golden rule applies to more then just little kids.
"if you ever watch the show "cops" they act like pricks to everyone..."
And you're basing your assumptions based on a TV show. TV is not real life. Reality TV is not real life. TV is meant to sell. Do you think the show would still be on the air if most of the cops did a car stop or whatever and said "Excuse me sir, but what you were doing is wrong. Please sir, do not do that again." No it wouldn't sell because people don't want to see that. They want to see the fights, and hookers, and the outlandish remarks
Another point to make is that you have no idea the situation surrounding these comments. You have no idea as to how they were said, if they were joking or not. You're just assuming the worst.
Thirdly, I've been pulled over 3 times. All three times I've gotten out of the ticket. You know why? Because I was courteous to him. I disobeyed the law and he caught me. If I were to sit there in my car fuming that I got caught for doing soemthing as minor as speeding, and then yell at the guy calling him a pig and telling him off, then I was sure as hell going to get a ticket. Especially being a young driver.
Lastly, my dad was a police officer. I work with cops all the time at my self defense school, I work with the police at my college, and I plan on becoming a police officer after college. Being a cop is a very hard job, you put your life on the line every day and most people don't even thank you for it. There's dicks out there like the people on here who think cops are just idiots and curse them out.
Please visit my blog ;)
i am not even a cop, i have not had many good experiences with a cop, but i have enough of a brain to know that most of you complaining are just mad you got caught getting in trouble and expected someone to just give you a break because you think so highly of yourself.
Actually, a lot of places do make you have at least an Associate's Degree to become a cop.
You must live in some podunk little town if you really think being a cop isn't hard.
You wanna look at dead and mutilated bodies? You wanna hear some girl sobbing her way through how she got raped? You wanna get shot at because some douchebag decided the law didn't apply to him?
My dad is a retired cop. He has a Master's in Criminal Psychology. While he was on the force, he had his knee shattered when a perp decided to crush it between his car and another. He had to kill a guy that was going after his partner with a butcher knife. He was a crisis negotiator and helped to free dozens of hostages. And he had to live with the knowledge that he might not come home to his wife and children on any given night.
So next time you want to say that being a cop isn't hard, imagine that YOU are the one that has to tell a distraught mother that her daughter had been brutally raped and butchered.
Imagine you're the one who has to repeatedly see people as smears on the pavement because someone decided that traffic laws are arbitrary.
In essence, imagine you're the one that constantly has to deal with the dregs of society, only to be mocked, scorned, and spit upon by the very people you are trying to keep safe. Easy as pie, right?
The union for example will fight tooth and nail to protect its members. As well, the crown prosecutor is the one who must file the charges (at least here in Canada) and if the crown goes against the police it makes it quiet difficult / a lot of backlash. As an institution, the police are above the law, and essentially able to get away with things that normal citizens could not.
Now my final point: This only applies in a tiny number of cases!!!! The number of police officers who do act in this way are GREATLY out numbered by the number of police officers who are legitimately looking out for the public good.
VIVA LA POLICE!
oh and by the way, i live in a town where cops will stop you for wearing dark/loose clothes while walking around
Instead of complaining about how mean and horrible cops are, why dont you instead think about how lucky you are to have people like this protect you every day? And if you dont want to get in trouble, how bout you take some responsibility and not do something stupid that gets the cops on your case.
shit, i'd say stuff like that too if i were a cop.
I've been arrested so I'm not biased...and I still think that not all cops are assholes.
To even become a cop these days, you have to compete with between 300 to upwards of 900 people for every available job slot, go through a vigorous weeding process that will make your head spin, a boot camp-like academy, and then you get tossed out onto the street where you see the worst humanity has to offer day in and day out for your entire professional life, work through most, if not all the holidays in your first 10 years or so, and wonder if you're coming home at all that night far more often than you'd like. All this for somewhere between $35 and $50k to start and maybe $75-90k when you retire in an environment where the public second-guesses your every move, and most people hate you for catching them doing something that's against the law and then holding them to account for it. Quite frankly, combat soldiers often have it easier.
I know this because for a while, I wanted to be one. Then I realized that IT was easier to get into, more lucrative, and more conducive to a happy personal life.
Yeah, it hardens them a bit.
Cut 'em some slack.
Yeah, a lot of them are pretty hard, cynical, and short on social graces by the time they've been on the force for a few years, but that same guy who treated you like a jerk would probably take a bullet for you. He just doesn't want to take a bullet FIRED by you. Not today. So he's going to come on very strong and harsh, make a few witty threats, and send you on your way. He's also going to make the experience unpleasant on purpose, because if it sucks dealing with him, maybe you'll think twice about doing whatever got his attention in the first place.
As for cops being dicks, yeah, they are for the most part. I gave up all hope with cops when I got held up at gunpoint in front of a club and the cops blamed me for being out late. I dont call the cops for shit anymore. I shoot first and explain later
On a side note, major highways should have a speed minimum, not a speed maximum. Most wrecks are caused by slow drivers. Grant you most fatalities from wrecks are from speed, but that should be a personal decision. According to statistics the Autobahn is one of the safest roads in the world to drive on.
Not true in all cases. Take my mom for example. her good friend was dating a cop, who was an asshole, and my mom convinced her friend to break it off with the cop. Shortly thereafter, cops were harassing my mom for anything they could, eventually taking her to jail over us having a couple of bags of trash by our back door, citing it as a city ordinance violation. Let me reiterate. THEY TOOK HER TO JAIL. OVER 3 EFFING TRASH BAGS. ON OUR OWN PROPERTY. Some cops, really are just assholes.
Eric Carlson pedofied me behind prison walls and then framed me as a pedophile on march 26th 2007, I caught the crime on a audio recorder I put in Joan's purse.
there were people in authority helping them with this and nobody in authority will help they pretend nothing happened and refuse to investigate this.
Eric Carlson changed his hair color and his name but this is not hidden, only ignored by the authority's and media
I'm disabled from being poisoned and the hospitals refuse to admit I'm poisoned.
My Family is in danger from these people and I have no other recorse but to make these charges public.
My name is Terry Wagar,Im from Portland Oregon and I'm backing up these charges.
I have been threatened with harassment charges by a Sargent Walker, She is a portland police officer stationed at the OHSU hospital, for the non crime of reporting a multi murder conspiracy within that hospital.
They dont give a s4!t Joan and Eric was poisoning a plasma donor!
And how many god damn John Ray's in authority are there in portland oregon!
You damn serial killer.
Where did Mrs Dash keep her stash? in A Garlic Salt Shaker!
What did Doubleclick do with his Dick? You Pedophile!

So long as I live in this city, I'll feel the need to fend for myself--it'll sound bigoted of me, but since I'm white, I can't expect any help from the cops here.
