Sad huh? I don't put any stickers on my car other than inspection, registration, and a State Police benevolent association sticker. Don't need my tires slashed, my car keyed, or political beliefs questioned.

A couple of years ago some Cop in Louisiana wrote a citation for not wearing a seat-belt to some dude on riding a motorcycle.

I saw this earlier. The thing that puzzles me the most is that the people who claim to be victims can not identify which agencies pulled them over because of the stickers.
In other words, it sounds like bullshit to me. |

Drug task force in Memphis makes hundreds of drug bust a year, some major. Hell, I've been pulled over before in my work truck. I live just across the state line and am in Memphis 3 days a week for work.

Complete idiots. Like a drug trafficker would put a pot leaf on their vehicle used to transport. Old man should have told them to go fuck themselves.
That being said, if you painted a picture of a bale, or of a 6 ft pot plant on the hood, it still is not illegal. Your tax dollars at work again. |

This happened to a friend of mine around the same area. The police officer pulled the car over and stated that they were following too closely to another car...only there were no other cars around. When asked which car they were following too closely, the police officer never gave a direct answer.
The officer walked around the car with the K9 and stated that the dog had indicated the presence of marijuana. The police officer then tore through the vehicle and did not find anything. My friend never consented to the search, and when my friend asked to call an attorney, the police officer asked, "Why, you got something to hide?" In the end, after an hour on the side of the road, the police did not find anything. The police officer told my friend, "Next time, don't waste our time." This appears to be a trend around Memphis area. |

Not really. The department gets a cut of the money when they do a seizure. The drugs have to be destroyed. It's pretty obvious why things are done that way. It does illustrate the TWOD was never about the drugs though. |

Why would a respectable elderly couple know who pulled them over?
They get pulled over. In the rear view, is just the front of a car and flashing lights. They are probably confused and nervous, they arent thinking, what agency is this? They just see a badge and a gun. For crying out loud. Eveyone isnt some tactical operator.

It's on my work computer, Tuesday I'll upload it into photo bucket. I may have it somewhere on a slave drive at the house, if so I will get it uploaded in a couple of hours. The guy who got the ticket has the same bike as me, a red 08 Honda CBR-1000rr. He posted it on a sport bike forum. I saved the photo because it sounded too fucked-up to be true. |

I know there are some good ones out there but there are also some Barney Fifes. I know thats the same in all occupations but these are positions of power. As I've got older I realized that, very simply, cops are just people Sometimes, they'll make mistakes, and sometimes they'll do really good stuff. A cop might be acting out of his own self interest, or acting as he's encouraged to by lesser cops, and at another time that same cop might do something incredibly heroic and selfless. I got picked up for underage drinking at a party with about 10 other teenagers once. I told the cops I was underage and had been drinking thinking they'd write me a ticket and that would be that, but instead they drove us all down to the station where they showed us wrecked pieces of a car crash and, with tears in their eyes, told us about how they had to call the parents of the drunk teen drivers who had died a few days ago. Then, the lead cop (sergeant maybe?) asked me if I was OK to drive some of the kids home. I had just told this same guy I had been drinking, not 30 mins ago after showing him my state ID (NOT a driver's license) I didn't even own a car But, he wanted me to drive, so I drove this kid's car and got pulled over 2 miles from the police station, still buzzed I told the cops that I had just left the police station and to call...they did and let us go home  So, I had a group of cops give me a genuinely heartfelt story encouraging us kids not to drink and drive; who then made me drive home a bunch of kids, drunk, w/ no license  Speed |
