Man gives police officer a ticket

[Mill]

What a waste of time.

Waste of time my ass. Cops are NOT exempt from the law. And if he did indeed run the stop sign he should be ticketed. In fact a similiar situation happened to my uncle. He did a U-turn or something minor which caused him to get pulled over. Well, in order to get pulled over the cop had to do something illegal too (I believe a U-turn). He said he'd gladly sign his ticket if the cop was issued a ticket for the same thing. The police chief was called out to the scene and backed my Uncle up. If my Uncle got a ticket, so did the cop. Ended up the cop gave him a warning

wy not ticket the cop? dont enough of them have problems thinking theyre above the law, especially traffic law? i dont know where youre from, but they do more than go "just over" the speed limit regularly where im from

Sure it is a waste of time. It was obvious the guy had a grudge because his son got a ticket, even though he tried to play it off. I don't think this should be allowed unless there is more than one witness. Otherwise you will have people swearing out complaints on officers for traffic tickets constantly, and who knows what code call they are on, or where they were going, or what they were doing. Police officers are trained, and the ones you see running lights without "sirens or lights" typically are on a silent high priority call. I'm not saying the Police do no wrong; they do just like any other occupation(trust me, I've been fvcked over too). I'm not saying they shouldn't be held to a higher standard because they should. What I am saying, however, was it doesn't appear like this guy did this in good faith. He is trying to start trouble, and in the end he gets burned. I highly doubt the judge will convict the guy anyway. Word of guy with an obvious grudge against an officer that doesn't remember.

As for the story about the U-turn. BS. An officer can break a traffic law to apprehend a suspect or to enforce traffic laws. How the hell do you think they catch speeders hiding in the median, or chase in a high-speed pursuit?

I love when people try to lecture me on things like this. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT GOES ON. You don't know what type of call they are on. There is a lot of misguided hatred for the police out there. I myself was a victim of some poorly trained officers and bad department, but it doesn't effect my perception of the police.

1) I'm aware they can break the law to apprehend suspects
2) The story has made up parts. The biggets being I dont remember what the infraction was, but it was a case where my uncle did it and the cop did it as well, as under the conditions the cop did it were just as illegal.
3) Your stiking me as quite the dumbass this morning.

He doesn't have a grudge against the officer. We don't even know if the same officer stopped his son (did you read the article you linked?).

As for the cop saying "I don't remember?" Bullsh!t. It was a block ago and he can't remember. He probably just said that hoping the guy would f*&k off and think nothing else of it. Tough luck.

If you can't read between the lines, and see how this guy was only trying to cause trouble then I feel for you. I honestly do. If he was concerned about law and order then he would sit at that sign everyday and write down tag numbers and tail people and then call the police on them. He isn't concerned about it. Like all Americans he speeds, so he hardly has a rational basis for giving an officer a ticket. It is wasting resources. The guy has zero training.

3. That's just a reflection of yourself.

How much training does it take to spot a cop running a stop sign less than a block away from the police station? He just happened to be driving down the road and noticed the cop running the sign. It's not like he was stalking the guy or sitting at the stop sign waiting for the cop. He just happened to see him.

Like I said, TOUGH LUCK.

 

[aircooled]

I'd love to have a camera mounted on my car (like the police have) for the MANY time I've spotted cops doing exactly what they ticket the public for.

i dont hate the police...but seriously, they speed, alot, not going anywhere other than to get a burger or gas up. i dont hate them for it, they just think theyre above the law sometimes and theyre not, they should get a ticket when they break it.

i dont consider it breaking the law when theyre on a call or have a duty, thats silly. and i know every time theyre speeding theyre not doing it just to speed...but when i see one speed past me to make it to wendys or a burger king, im pretty certain its nothing thats terribly urgent.

 

[brxndxn]

Cops are some of the worst drivers I have seen.. I see them speed through redlights, go 50mph in a 30mph zone, cut people off, etc, etc, etc..

I dunno about the cops in your towns, but Gainesville, FL has some pretty godawful cops. Cops aren't above the law - but they think they are in Gainesville.

 

[PlatinumGold]

ya, i've seen cops turn on their siren to run the red and then a few minutes later turn into a Dunkin Donuts.

mb there was an emergency there but more than likely it was just for a cup of coffee.

 

[FuZoR]

errrmm.. pretty common to seee cops breaking norm traffic rules.. hell i see cars do it right in front of cops faces.

 

[JoeKing]

Here in CA I know they can get in serious trouble for abusing their siren for personal reasons. I wonder how many cops on duty get in fender benders and traffic accidents a year.

 

[rh71]

LOL, it said Argo.

 

[Jzero]

Well, the guy did follow the cop back to the station, so it's not like he can use the excuse that he was trying to get stealthily to a crime in progress.

You just went off telling someone they don't really know what happend. And now you're telling us you're Assuming what happend by "reading between the lines? The officer broke the law, he deserves the ticket. My 2 year old niece can figure that out It's a shame you can't.

 

[Hammer]

good. the cop deserves it. NO ONE is above the law. if he didn't have his lights on and/or was responding to an emergency, he totally deserves it. more people should do this.
