A Female Passenger on Benson's Boat Called for Help

[DaBoys4Life]

I will say I personally issue far more warnings than I do citations. It all depends on the persons attitude when they are approached.

i've heard cops say stuff like that before. but when it comes to people flashing the PBA cards then it irritates them or w/e. Also you didn't answer whether you give you fellow officers tickets when they are off-duty or if you ever have.

Actually yes I have. But he was from another agency. I have stopped officers and officers wives from my agency but they have always been respectful and co-operative. The ones in question from another agency threw their badge out the window instead of Their DL and insurance info. Then had attitude to boot. So yes there are some Cops with attitudes. But to say all of them are that way is like saying all blacks are gang bangers or all whites with shaved heads are racist.

We have a DPS officer here that is strictly by the book. He wrote his own mother a ticket a few months back...

It can be helped. Just don't do it. Seems pretty simple to me.

I once shaved my head and kept it that way for a whole year.

So was I only racist for that one year?

You cannot be possibly be that stupid and/or prejudiced.

how is that stupid or prejudice. If i denote a certain person with the way the dress or the hair style than that is me. If you are a person that is above that then thats cool however if she seen a girl with skanky clothers on and felt she was a skank how are we any different.

I was once pulled over for having a tail light out in a state far from home. After running my license, the cop came back and orderded me out of the car, told me the computer said my license was suspended and since the state I was in did not have reciprocity with my home state, I was under arrest, was going to be taken to jail and would have to post bond.

Now, my license has never been suspended a day in my life. After giving me a top to bottom search, including checking every number in my cell phone address book, the back-up cops said they had called the state police in my home state and verified that my license was in fact valid. The cop who pulled me over said he wasn't used to the way my state enters its info in the computer, so it looked to him like my license was suspended, he was sorry and I was free to go.

Bottom line: the cop feigned computer illiteracy so he could exploit the opportunity to conduct a "search incident to arrest" and check my pockets for weed or weapons. Wouldn't it have been less intrusive to call the state police in my home state before yanking me out of the car, handcuffing me and searching me from top to bottom? Cops can and do play games with the law and the facts when it is to their advantage. Beware of this trick if you are driving in a state far from home. But if it does happen, do not resist, that will only make it a hundred times worse.

Yikes. I am going to need your name and what area you work, so I know where to avoid you. :laugh2:

thats good I'm glad that he is able to do that.

I'm not so sure about that. Even if we attempt to avoid it is always there, there is a slim chance that people take people as are and just accept them for who they are at first sight.

obv. lok j/k.

However something i have noticed is when ever some becomes accused of being racist/prejudice they immediately jump to the defensive and claim they have x amount of black friends not saying any of you guys do that just something that i have seen.

Actually my bald White friend David isn't racist, he's a cancer survivor. Oh and I wasn't a racist when I shaved my head in support of him during chemo either.

I agree, but I also think it many times goes with the job. I would assume law enforcement, when pulling someone over, assumes guilt before innocence. It's the nature of their occupation in that they would normally confront someone they saw or perceived to be guilty of a violation or a crime. They should afford someone any courtesies they can without jeopardizing their own safety. That does NOT give them the right to use excessive force or harass them in any way.

Problem with this, obviously, is that it skirts the basic tenet of our country, innocent before PROVEN guilty.

It's a very high pressure job and I respect those that serve us in that regard. I do not respect those that perform their job illegally, callously or with prejudice.

Saying that police officers don’t deserve our respect isn’t anything that I subscribe to much less what I have heard or advocate…Still, respect is not given, it has to be earned and as it is, far too much excessive force and improprieties exist that make it hard to see a police officer and wonder ‘Is this the cop that is going to shoot first, ask questions later?’…Not the way law enforcement should be and clearly is not the way it is at present…It should be a sanctuary and it is not

Sorry, I don't see that Texas has singled themselves out to be the predominant state for pulling over blacks...

Never said they were the leading state of racism but hardly the same thing as refuting it as a state known for racism.

My point is that ANYONE can be pulled over for any reason at any time...

I have myself, as well, and I’m white….People do get stopped all the time for a lot of poor reasons…However, not all of us get pulled over and run the risk of getting shot or beaten…That’s a luxury afforded by certain segments of society, not the least of which is the African Americans...I'd hazzard a guess that Middle Eastern people are targetted quite a bit now and I'm sure women are treated quite unfairly (Not to mention shamelessly hit on and harrassed), as well
