I had a cop honk at me in a "No Turn On Red" intersection in 5 o'clock traffic. At first I thought it was an accident, then he laid on it so I went. He didn't even stop, just followed me out and floored it past me when he had the chance. No lights on or siren. He just wanted to go I guess. They can be such hypocrites some times.

I have tons of bad cop stories.

Sucks to be on the receving end!

Cops are so full of crap, they speed like crazy. Its rear when I see a police car on the highway that isn't doing 80-90, sometimes more. The state guys always go 90-100.

Then they stop up ahead and bust your balls for doing 75.

Next time adjust your mirror to shine the light back at them. They really like that a lot.

Hey good tip. Check this out: I get the letter in the mail yesterday -- I can post bail of only $476 and make this whole thing go away - - except for the insurance part.

I'm going to court on this one. My schedule is flexible and those cops pissed me off.

I just adore this advice from the site (http://www.copswritingcops.com/know.html):

Some items from their list: 'What cops would like the public to know' .....
_____________________________________________
If you get a warning instead of a ticket from a motorcycle cop, go buy a lottery ticket, because you’ve already beaten the odds.


Here’s how to get out of a ticket. don’t break the law.


If you drive a piece of crap, that is why you’re getting pulled over.


We get coffee breaks too, and sometimes we run into stores and do some shopping during them.

Every time you hear on the news about people running away from a crazed gunman, someone’s son or daughter in a police uniform is running TOWARD that crazed gunman. (Pathetic pity-fishing ,,, it's your JOB! Don't like it,,,do something else)


Yes it’s true, cops usually don’t give other cops tickets. Think of it as an employee discount, perk or benefit. Other Cops are family and you wouldn’t give your brother a ticket if you were a cop either

If you rob a gas station you’re only going to get $20, but I get to see a K-9 dog use your arm as a chew toy. For all I care you can keep the $20.

Every traffic stop could end in gunfire, but we have to be polite and professional until that time.

People love firefighters. God made policeman so firefighters could have heros too


If the light was yellow, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.


Cops know you pay taxes and that your taxes pay cops’ salaries. Cops also pay taxes, which also pay cops’ salaries so, hey, this traffic stop is on me. Now sign here, press hard; there are five copies.
_____________________________________________

What a bunch of lovable scamps. Personally, I'm sick of all this 'brotherhood' crapola,, the Hitler Youth liked to throw that word around as well.

If you take an oath before God to uphold the law, you do it, or you are going to hell (at least that's what I assume,, I'm an Atheist so I may be seeing these crooked Cops there anyway).
