I'm always polite but it never gets me off. Only talking like a lawyer in court has gotten me off, but that's in court. One time I asked a trooper if he was psychic, he wasn't amused. Well he repeatedly asked me where I had the coke hidden when I've never even touched the stuff. What a jerk that guy was. He had me standing behind my car hands on the back car running...car overheats, pissing out antifreeze won't let me shut it off or shut it off for me. That was total BS. The car was junk after that. I had a 1000 car as an 18 y/o kid and he ruins my car there, nice. Did they teach them that in training? real effective public relations that day. I'll always remember that troopers name. Not that I'll ever do anything about it because I AM a level headed guy, not like that guy.

.and trust me, i know that not all cops are that way. hell, i think most of them would not have reacted like this guy did. and theres no doubt that there are some truly great cops out there, there are just some that have a complete powertrip once they put that uniform on.

Also, for the record. Both my wife and I have had a couple of tickets over 30+ years of driving, all WHILE I have been a cop. We've always dealt with them through legal channels via an atty. I've NEVER used my badge or position for personal benefit! I have used the position and a little well placed influence to help out some friends though.

I can handle the bustin ***** bit, no sweat. As you'll see from most of my post on the subject, I'm not pro-police on every topic. I believe in doing the right thing in a professional manner and the way things should be done
.I didn't bring up MY 'ole lady. That was in the original post that I quotetd. No harm done.
Guess sometimes it's difficult to tell where the jokes end and the BS begins(lol).
For the dude thathad the trooper let his car overheat. We are responsible for both your safety and your property while we have you stopped. If he refused a legitimate request to keep the car from overheating, the department and the trooper would be seeing a lawsuit from me post haste. Thats just bullshit and should never have been allowed to happen.
SHADOW- its good to know that there a few good ones liek yourself that are out there . like you stated in a TRAFFIC citaion thers no reason to go off the person you pulled over . it does suck that the ones that have the huge power trip have to ruin it for the good ones. regardless of the situation i belive the cop should stay calm and proffesional like any other person has to in there proffession

-fail to display front plate $35
-tinted covers taillights $35
-tread depth L&R rear bald $70
-total-$140
ticket#2
-harsh altered exhaust $50
-harsh screech of tires $50
-racing 2 motorcycles "didnt bite" $500
-60ish in a 30 $300
-total $900
-Grand Total $1040
then he told me how he couldve charged me with criminal offenses, and said he could have my liscence revoked by tomorrow morning, so im thankful he didnt do either of those. anyway sorry for the long *** rant, but i had to vent a little
