...........or maybe the same di*# will be HARRASING some other guy who did absolutely NOTHING if he does ever need him.

 

Regardless of what you think or say, there isn't one of those dicks who wouldn't be willing to give his/her life to save your butt. Kind of pathetic, isn't it?

 

We have the luxury of hind-sight and second-guessing their every move, but LEOs have the amazing responsibility of having to make split-second decisions that could easily cost them their lives. As far as I'm concerned, if you get pulled over you show these men and women the respect they deserve.

 

Easy there dude....I was just using the same name as the poster that I quoted. I also doubt that they would give their lives for any civilian in any circumstance. I think its more like they would give their lives if they had no other choice, but not solely to save a civilian. They arent Marines, their civil servants.

 

Agreed. But where in the original post do you see the need for any split second decision that would cost him his life? And I do show them respect when I get pulled over. In that case, more than likely I was in the wrong.

 

Unfortunately, police officers aren't given the opportunity to choose the circumstances they're thrown into on a daily basis. Having been a police officer for over 30 years, most of the time you don't have a choice because things happen so quickly. I guess if I had the luxury of going back and reviewing every move I made over the years, I'd probably do things a little differently. There's a huge difference in making a split-second decision or having hours, days or months to critique someone's actions.

 

Pleae don't make toungue in cheek comments and then tell people to take it easy...<rolleyes>

So what kind of business do you own John? You deal in life and death everyday?

No one said cops were/are Marines... why would you even draw that comparison? It makes no sense and has no merit here.

Traffic stops and Domestic disturbance calls are the most frequently dangerous part of an officers day... they do not know what kind of person they're dealing with...

 

My dad was a cop for 25 years so I see things from both views. I have been stopped many times just because a cop wanted to see the car I was driving up close. The new '79 Trans Am convertible ( one of 100 produced) or the '70 Datsun 2000 roadster with the 231 Buick, or the '71 Black w/flames Pinto with the 351 Windsor engine, or the '61 Impala with hydrualics in 1969. We won't go into all the times I got stopped for things more serious.
The cop had you profiled and your kind deserves a closer look. Hahahaa. He's just doing his job and you got to share your story with all of us. No harm done............

 

I hate to say it, but you must be young, because not very many adults would use the d''k word for someone who seemed pretty cool about the whole thing, he even gave you a compliment on your car and you still though he was a d''k. Grow up! (no offense)...

 

But..... I thought all Corvettes are red.

Well I was a Marine, and have been an LEO for over 20 years, and YES I have put my life on the line for civilians just like all our military and law enforcement personel have. And by the way, I am not a damn civil servant, I serve the public for a paycheck and for morals taught to me by my elders. We all serve the public in different ways for a paycheck not for smart *** people that speak before they think!

 

Did you not see the name given to the officer by the original poster & the other poster (peacekeeper)? Ok for him but not me huh?

I agree with most of what you say here. And as far as the Marine comment, look at the forum members name DevilDogII, (a name given to the Marines) and his avatar picture. Thats an EGA (Eagle Globe Anchor) the Marine corps insignia. Thats why I was comparing the two, just figured he could relate.

Now, as far as my business, thats irrelevant. (sp?) I can relate very well however, to a life & death career situation. My father was a New York City (Bronx) firefighter for 26 years. My mom & brother would always be on edge while he was at work 3 or 4 days at a time without coming home & very relieved when he did get home. I dont know what your town is like or how many actual buiding fires you have in your area, but, in the Bronx, its close to a 24 hr a day job......so yea, I know about the life & death career situation.

Now, back to the original post. What is it that provoked the officer to stop him for doing what he did? Thats the issue, not that he didnt get a ticket & everything was huny dory......he was harrased.... for what?
The officer decided this is my day to bust a big time coke dealer cause he's driving a nice car & went down a dead end street? I dont take issue with police men/women in general....only when it seems to me like an unprovked display of power. and dont tell me alot of cops dont harbor that attitude....just like doctors and the GOD complex.

 

Next time don't act so suspicious.

 

My childhood best friend's dad was a police officer. He always said that if he followed a car long anough they would always get nervous and eventually break the law. He now writes/produces a tv police show.

I agree with both sides on this because there are always good and bad police officers. We are all human.

I've been pulled over for no reason multiple times in my different sportscars. With never getting a ticket. I don't agree with you thinking this guy was a dick. He probably could have found a reason to give you a ticket. So that shows you he was a good guy.

The main thing you got learn not to be nervous of law enforcement. A $75 ticket is not a big deal to shake about.

 

too funny

 

From your post, it doesn't sound like red had anything to do with it. You didn't get a ticket or arrested and he complimented you on the car.

All in all, I would think that was pretty good.
