 I still cant stop laughing from this but here goes



As I was driving along a 6 lane main road about to make a right into my neighborhood a Cop starts to run out of the side street going into my subdivision with his radar gun trying to catch me speeding.  Well that didnt work considering he tripped and fell right on the sidewalk real hard, throwing his radar gun about 10 feet from him.  He got up like nothing happened and I stop to ask if he was okay and he replied "yeah im fine".  I couldnt stop laughing the whole way home, I still kinda felt bad for him though.

Well....around here, almost all of the speed traps are on the interstate........now I realize that the Interstate Highway System is fenced to keep animals off of it when possible.

No doubt, I mean, why should anyone have to go to all the trouble of telling their kids to stay out of the street. Kids too young? Shoot, now one is expected to watch the kids too?! What's this world coming to?

2 weeks ago, the police had a seatbelt check going on, just a few blocks from a drug/crime infested neighborhood.

There were about 10 officers involved, just flagging down every car that was in violation of the seatbelt law.

My only thought was, what a waste of resources. Those officers would have been much more usefull just a few blocks away.

Because an out of control vehicle careening around a street corner doesn't give a shit if your kid is in or out of the street.

Tell that to the lady I responded to the other night cause she wrecked her Chevy Avalanche and her husband was thrown from the vehicle and killed.  She has to live with that for the rest of her life.

So let me get this straight.. You were speeding, he was using radar.  Saw you speeding and in getting to his vehicle he trips and falls.  

It was funny that he tripped or that you were stupid enough to be speeding there?  

Ever think maybe there's a reason he was running radar there?

Did you call CNN?? Maybe you can have your fifteen minutes of fame cause you witnessed a cop slip and fall.. I mean my god they aren't human or anything.

Could you imagine how long the thread would be if we posted ALL the stupid things we see everyday.. Like a kid I arrested not to long ago that walked in front of my car and threw a bag of meth at my feet. HELLO brain surgeon!

Dont get your panties in a bunch now. First of all I wasnt speeding (I was going 40 in a 45), second I was generally concerned for the officer considering I stoped and asked if he was okay and then after that I couldnt help but start to laugh at the fact that he was so adamant about running and trying to catch me not speeding he tripped over himself.  I thought it was a good laugh but glad he was okay.

I doubt it. You would have ticketed her. She would have paid the fine. He would continue to ride around without the seatbelt on. Up until the moment he was thrown from the truck the only bad thing that ever happened when he didn't buckle up was the cops stole his money.

I didn't mean to get you all worked up.

Wearing your seatbelt may very well save your life, no doubt about.

After reading another reply that seatbelt checks can be used as a tool to catch criminals I reevaluated my original posistion.

My original posistion was not that it would be cool to cruise around un-restrained, but that it seemed to be a waste of resources to have ten officers busy all day giving out seatbelt tickets, while just a few blocks away there is a neighborhood where gangs are roaming the streets.

I have to go back and apologize. I'm not worked up about this.  Hell If (more like when) I trip hell laugh.  Shit I would.  But the point was that we're humans too.

Without going into a long discussion about why we do the things we do just be happy we do it at all.  I would love the opportunity to have a gang check point where we could pull over every vehicle we know has gang members in it and search/arrest all of them.  Not going to happen.

Sorry for sounded worked up.   Too many hours at work and not enough hours sleeping lately.

I got a story, I was on a ride along with the local sherrif's dept and we pulled over some kid and the kid stated "Im wasted can I get out of the car"  the deputy still did a field sobriety test and then put him in the back of the car handcuffed.  The deputy let the kid use the phone to call his buddy to come pick up his car and the kid stated while crying like a baby "Their taking me to the police jail help me" and here is the kicker he then says "Officer can you put my seatbelt on please"  to which the deputy replies "Yeah, we wouldnt want some drunk driver hitting us would we".

Oh please,

Why don't you start enforcing the (soon coming) obesity laws? "Save" the poor old guys from heart attacks.

Requiring adults to wear seatbelts (at the risk of monetary losses) is nothing more than stealing. It's their own choice whether or not they decide to be safe or not. Who are you (or the Govt) to try and say how and when someone needs to take care of THEMSELVES?
