Seems like most of us always post them, so time for a good LEO experience. Came back from a party last night and hit a pot hole pretty hard (on a tire I had just replaced that same day because of a bubble). When I got home (around midnight), I wanted to check the tire for damage. As I was in the driveway crouched down looking at the tire (my driveway is real narrow), a car came up a put a spot light on me. Voice from car: What are you doing over there? Me: Stand up, wondering if its one of my friends, call out "who is that?" Voice: Police I walk over to the car and explain to the officer that this way my house and car and that I was just checking the tire as we just hit a pot hole on the way home (I'm still in my suit and tie at this time, so I guess I looked legit). They give me the ok, and I thank them for patrolling my neighborhood as I had 4 wheels stolen off my truck a while back. One officer says he remembers and that he was a responding office when that happened (I don't remember the guy so can't put truth to it). Offered them some coffee, they politely refused and went on their way. Was an unmarked car, but officers were in uniform. Was happy to know I have guys making patrols like this and keeping a good watchful eye out.

HOW DARE YOU POST A POSITIVE LEO STORY! Give it a few hours, another wrong house will get raided and all dogs within 150 meters will be shot or another LEO will be caught doing shady shit via a cell phone camera while his car's dash camera is conveniently off or pointing in the wrong direction. |

Good stuff. I have had more positive than negative experiences with the police.
To be honest, I have really only had one bad experience with an LEO. Pretty much an asshole on a power trip berating me for insulting one of his underage interns that was at the same bar as me trying to buy booze and get the place shut down. He told me to apologize to the kid, I lol'd and asked if I could go now. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I was debating posting an experience I had with local and state LEOs last night. Went through a DUI checkpoint in the middle of nowhere, literally, on Thompson Bridge RD, about a quarter mile east of State Highway 24 in Waynesboro, GA.
It was at about 2030 hrs, I was in my company provided work van, so telling them to FOAD if they asked me for anything other than license and registration was out of the question. Not that I would anyway, but I digress. The location of the checkpoint made perfect sense, it couldn't be seen from the highway, and for anybody who lives south of town it is the most sensible way to get to one of two night clubs in Waynesboro/Burke County. The LEPs were a combination of local PD and State Troopers, they had marked cars on either side of the road, were stopping traffic in both directions, and had several people on the side waiting on their turn on the breathalyzer. When I pulled up I rolled my window down early, slowed to a crawl as I approached, and stopped when the Trooper indicated. He was polite, not so friendly, but he was a little busy, he was very professional in appearance and demeanor. He asked me for my license and registration, I handed him my license first, he mentioned that they had us guys (remember I was in a marked cable company van) working late on Saturday, I mentioned that the other guy was out sick, and I was running behind with the extra work. He handed me my license, and before I could hand him the registration he told me to drive safely and have a nice day. That is it, no blading, no dogs harmed, no intrusive searches, no trouble at all. They were set up in a spot that makes sense for the mission (there is not other way to get to that bar, they were there at the time when patrons would be arriving, some of whom are likely to have began revelries early), they were there to catch drunk drivers, they were catching them, and were in a logical spot. They weren't being dicks to everybody driving past, they weren't fishing, just doing their job. |

They refused free coffee? You should call their supervisor and complain about their arrogance and insulting dismissal of your coffee. Never know if its just coffee or if its "coffee plus..." I do really appreciate the offers from well intentioned people, but I never take food or drink items offered by people when I'm on the street. Nick |

Midnight shift SGT comes in and I let him get about three handfulls down the hatch when I said, "(one of our frequent flyers)'s daughter brought those in". The look he gave me was just pure horror  |

Every now and then some community group brings food/coffee to the precinct and as soon as they leave it goes right in the garbage. |

My son had his first interaction with a traffic stop about a week ago. While on his way home from work at about 11:30pm he failed to pay attention at a reduced speed zone he came into. Deputy got him doing 50 in a 55 in a 35. He's still on his probationary license.  The Deputy must of taken pity on him since he was on his way how from work and only gave him a warning. Hopefully he learned his lesson. |

A couple nights ago I'm asleep in bed since I work at 0-darkthirty'ish every morning. It's about midnight and there's a serious knock on the door, followed with a single ding from the doorbell. There are your run of the mill punks like most neighborhoods have, but they know better. So as I'm walking to my front door with my stainless 1911 in one hand and my cell phone in the other I'm getting ready to hear a story about someone's car being broken down and needing to use a phone. Peek through the little hole in the blinds, cops. Fuck. Mind races for a second or two....... nah, there's no way they could know about that lol. Hide the gun under a couch cushion and open the door only to see the HOTTEST brunette cop chick, maybe 26, 27. Turns out my neighbors house got burgled, and there I am in my boxers and a t-shirt, pillow burns on my face, hair all twisted up, sporting a gob of drool and trying to think of some pick up lines. What an idiot.
She was polite, apologized for waking me up, asked me a few things, smiled (courtesy smile, definitely didn't laugh) at one of my stupid jokes and went on her way. And she was at least an 8 in a cop uniform which is no makeup, jewelry etc. Good LEO experience, even though I F'd it up. Now I'm taking volunteers to steal my car. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I once had Police deliver beer to my Rifle Company, (after alcohol sales hours) they had the store sell them some cases and dropped them off at the armory were were using. It was as a thankyou send off, during Katrina Relief, we had been deputized and gave the Dept a bit of a break while we were there

The same cop caught me bangin' four different girls on four separate occasions, at the same parking lot, and all he had to say every time was "Don't let me catch you here again or I'm calling your parents" after handing me back my license.
This next one is 100% true..... I got pulled over with 3 drunk girls in my car. They searched the car and after pulling out 4 cans of whipped cream, a box of "Circus Fun" cereal, a giant head of broccoli ("Psycho Broccoli" was our guardian when we drank), 6 cans of silly string, 4 dozen eggs, party hats, a big feather boa, 2 boxes of amyl-nitrate poppers, flourescent water paints, 2 pairs of handcuffs, feather ticklers, a leather whip......and a Bible (no idea where that came from) and documenting in their notebooks everything they found, told us that maybe we should find a hotel for the night and not risk getting arrested. We were celebrating my 17th birthday. I got thrown in the back of a police car after a particularly nasty fight. Four punks jumped me and a friend, my "so-called friend" ran away leaving me to deal with them. Realizing I was going to get my ass beat, I went on a rampage charging at the biggest one and my first punch landed squarely on the bridge of his nose. Blood sprayed everywhere as I just kept swinging until he was on the ground. I started swinging at the other three and hit each one a couple of times but they just kept backing away, so I turned my attention back to the first. I jumped on him and was pummeling away when a couple of arms grabbed me. Thinking his friends were jumping in I started swinging until I was pinned on the ground. Turns out someone called the cops...and I punched 2 of them. They drug me to their cruiser and threw me in the back. The guy I was beating was taken away in an ambulance. Turns out one of the "witnesses" was my high school principal and he told the cops what really happened (fight started outside a restaurant he was eating at). The cops let me out but were laughing and pointing at me (4 cars responded to the call). I asked what was so funny, they told me to look in their side view mirror....I was completely covered in blood from the kids nose, as I said blood was literally spraying from his nose. I suddenly understood why his friends were backing away from me, I looked like a psycho. They didn't press charges, act mad that I punched them, or even give me a hard time, just jokingly told me not to pick fights with more than 1 person at a time. I couldn't believe I still had my teeth. So.....three time the cops could have hosed me, and three times they used their better judgement to be fair and let me off. They're not all bad. Next time I'll tell you about the time my friends and I were picked up for trespassing (walking along the train tracks)...and they walked to the nearest liquor store, bought a six pack, and told our parents they caught us with alcohol......bastards. Threw us into cruiser #666, go figure. |

i think it's a wash since they let the tires get stolen off of your truck
Funny cause happened to about 4 cars on my block at around the same time as my truck, and even more in my area, seems like they have steeped it up since. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
