What about when an off-duty cop gets pulled over by a cop on-duty for speeding or whatever, then doesn't end up getting a ticket in situations where a normal person wouldn't? Or people related to cops, even just cousins to one. It happens here.

What about when a doctor gets pulled over because he got called out by the emergency room for a bad wreck with multiple people hurt and the police let him go? Why didn't they do their job?

Face it, a lot of people get let go with a warning. How many here were let go when you know you were guilty?

If any of you guys read my post when my Fiero got broke into and they stole my plates I had to vent about the attitude the police officer had. I respect police officers my father was one and I have numerous friends that are local police and one state trooper and I had a talk with one of them about how they can speed and run lights and other things that we have to abide by day in and day out, lets just say it was a spirited debate and I told him that they should lead by example ! (he agreed) How can we not lose respect for them when we see them do these things. I still respect them though. Not everyone of them does these things. One of my friends got called on the carpet for his high # of dui/dwi arrest, which really got me. I thought he is taking the drunks off the road and they are getting on him about it !

I hear about my smooth talking, fast driving friends getting out of tickets by claiming relation to someone on the force than I hear any of them griping about having to pay another fine.

Call me prejudice, though. I don't like city cops. Long story, no ticket came of it because the cop was way in the wrong and I'd done nothing but looked like a 16-year-old driving a sporty red car. If I'd called to complain about it like I should have, he'd have gotten reamed.

Troopers are nice guys in my experience, though. For the most part.

Oh, and I didn't really answer the question, though, I guess.

I've never been let go from anything I was guilty of. One trooper let me go, but that was for a burnout he only thought I was guilty of... until I pointed out that I was driving a 4-cylinder ranger, and I speek gud engrish so I'm not enough of a moron to bother with a burnout in my truck.

That is BS side stepping. That analogy doesn't really apply. Cops make a call based on a situation and that is why we don't have robots running the world. It is their job to make that call.
But cops don't write cops tickets. Even out of town cops don't and when they do there is some feuding going on. If a cop is acting way out of line most of the time they will have to deal with their cheif because crap like that is almost always handled in house even between stations or citys.

Fact is cops abuse their position but probably not any more than anyone elses job. I know people here and there and get special treatment. They are no different except maybe under the microscope more.

I live in a little town with only 900 people in it. So for the activities at night are not all that exciting. I think that all there is for the cops to do is sit at Hwy 35 and nab speeders.
I agree with the speeding thing because you have these guys with huge trucks and facial hair thinking that they are above the law. Then they get taste fo reality from our county boys. But there was a time in the heat of the summer night when it was about 80 some degrees, I couldn't sleep. So I decided to take a little trip to the store for somthing to munch on. I was heading out of town doing the speed limit in and out. I had my brother with me at the time. This cop pulled me over out of the village limits,which he couldn't do. Then he tried to tell me I was doing 60-65 when all I was doing was 55. (deer) He was trying to get to admit to speeding and other things. I told him that I had the right size tires on (rare for the 13") and the speedo works exactly how it should. I think that he pulled me over because I was driving a pretty little sports car when I was doing nothing wrong. He had nothing better to do. He was one of the cops that thinks he can push a person around. Well when it comes to an Irish man, they fight back just as hard or if not harder.

You guys are lucky. In my neck of the woods cops are way worse. I get pulled over in my 85GT because it has nice rims, tinted windows, sound system, and Im a young kid. I get searched, treated like sh*t, and harrassed. And when Im just walking around the neighborhood with my boys they stop us and haggle us about selling drugs. They told us we cant walk around in groups of more than 3 people! Drug trafficing is a little problem around here, but most of us dont sell drugs; we are highschool athletes with good grades. Racial profiling is one of the biggest issues that I experience amost once a week. It pisses me offf, but I cant do or say anything becuase they are the law and they run things. In my area if you are dressed in expensive clothes, and have a cellphone with walkie talky ability you are automatically labeled a dopeboy. Its sad and frustrating, which is why cops end up getting no respect around here. But, on occasion, there are some very helpful and friendly cops. Whenever they haggle me I always talk to them with intelligence and respect, it kinda throws them off when they here me talk because they expect me to be some drug selling, gun toting thug. If you get pulled over, no matter how upset or frustrated you are, just act calm and friendly and most cops will respect you for that, especially if you are a young kid.

You are right........there is a very real tendancy for cops, and other assorted sub-human scum, to think they are better than us.

Laws apply to us, not them. they can demand to see our ID--but just watch what happens when you as a free man demand to see thiers.....


they can question whre you are going and what you are doing.........but just try to ask them the same questions.

Personally, I consider it a goddamn shame the WTC;s werent filled with them instead of insurance salsemen.

salsemen are easy to make go away. Nazi cops are a problem.

its a little off subj but im a fire fighter and i can tell you that there are many times when you dont use the siren because of bothering people, but when a call comes out the law says we can run 15mph over limit. but if it were their house,or family in a wreck i bet they would love for us to run 50+ over limit so not to take sides but ill almost garentee that they are in the right just most civillians? dont realize it.
