Cops suck
-
I personally think, when people do worse things then just speeding, or not using their blinker, they should get pulled over, but they don't! I've seen people goin down the WRONG WAY on fricken University! and NOT get pulled over! where were the cops on that one? that could have caused an accident! I swear, the cops pull over the wrong people sometimes.

cops are pretty stupid. they think parking on the sidewalk on 25th by centennial makes them invisible to passing and oncoming traffic. also, at school i saw one driving around the parking lot looking in each car to see if there was anything "suspicious" as i was told when i asked him at lunch the next day when he started talking to my lunch group. to top it off, i got cut off by a cop that didnt signal or care to yield at a yield sign after we both had turned into a development. stupid cops.

I think a lot of your problem goes back to Police Chief Magnus's "plan" for quotas on tickets. . .The cops are just trying to do their job by pulling people over and it might seem unfair at times when you do get stopped, but that is the reason they are there. Most patrol cops aren't assigned to go out and to track down drugs and other offenses, there are other departments that do that. . .
If you think a ticket is unfair, you always have the option of taking it to court and pleading your case to the judge. Judges are human too and understand that people make mistakes, and if you believe strong enough that the ticket is unfair, the judge may see your side. I know of people who have gotten off very lightly on traffic tickets because they went down to the courthouse and told the judge they made a mistake and that they don't feel the punishment is just. . .
You should take all your negativity towards the police and put them into a letter to Chief Magnus. It would do more then complaining about the police in general on a site that more then likely none of them read. . .
Or am I totally off base?

Not hating on you Freitag, but maybe the cop pulled up your previous record, or had seen you previously driving. ...i wouldn't be surprised if that's whyy they did it.

i got pulled over tonight for not using my blinker when getting on to the interstae off of 45th street, i know i should have got pulled over if i didn't cut some one off, but there was no one behind me. and the gayest part of it all it they gave me a fucking $60 ticket for improper lane change. HOW FUCKING GAY!!!!!!!!!! had to vent.i don't feel like reading through 3 pages of whining about cops, but this is more than likely a non-legit ticket. why? i don't believe you have to signal when going onto the interstate, because the lanes merge and you have no choice but to merge. might want to check the "rules of the road" book, but i would go point that out to someone that can do something about it (assuming that i really am right).

^^^ you have to use a blinker anytime you pull into a different lane no matter what, its just another case of car profilingHow is it car profiling when he has a common looking car that does not stand out compared to anyone elses. The cop probably would have pulled over a Tauras for doing the same thing

ok well excuse me I didnt know what his car looks like, thought I read somewhere earlier that he had an exhaust or some other type of mod, but he still had to use a blinker
I like my women like I like my cars, shaved!

no cop that knows what is good for him will pull over a taurus

he does have an exhaust and you are probably right the cop heard it and then noticed he had a reason to pull him over -
it doesn't help that the cop was the car right behind me!

Cops here suck ass, I lost my license for some dumb shit that I own up to. I had to bike for a year as my pennance, no big deal. Until I almost get hit by 2 officers in the same summer when I had the walk sign. One was trying to get thru a green arrow that was long gone.

Time to run my mouth a little, You guys need to advertise to more classic/muscle cars, most people in here are Tuners and that's a turnoff for us. Is this a club or a gang? I've seen you in the walmart parking lot and it kinda looks like a bunch of punk kids(I just glanced). I heard about it and remembered coming out of the lot that you guys meet there. It just kinda gives off a bad vibe to the classic car guys and a lot of other people too. I heard people at work complaining about the punk kids there, I'd have to say clean up the image, make it more car showy, more organized that cars in a circle or a bunch. That kinda stuff is what draws the cops, and cops do profile cars. all the time, they also run your plates for records like mine and will do anything to pull us over. That's any mods on a car, not just imports, believe me, I know. CCr stands for Classic Car. I am not a Ricer fan, but I wanted to give some advice that I feel may help. I'll restrain myself from the dumb ass comments for now. But certain driving styles do get on my nerves. As do big spoilers and exhaust. I'm not rich, neither are mnost of you. Sorry about the long post, just running my mouth. Catch up with the replies later.
