maybe my age is catching up to me or maybe it really wasn't that important, but I have a faint recollection that a member here went on a rant about how Cops abuse their authority and selectively do their jobs.
recently a thread was started asking legal advice by the same individual.
many people chimed in but he was dead set that his answer had to be from a police officer.
well here is my advice..... from a veteran retired Police officer
if you have a legal question I would suggest you consult a attorney he/or she the person with a legal degree and ultimately will result in representing you in court when you receive a summons. You have shown on more than one occasion that you have no respect for police offers so why would you trust us?
since I am on my soap box I'll give you my answer....
if I can not see in your car I am going to write you a summons.
I write every detail in my memo book, what you say, what your wearing, and any important detail I feel will bury you in court.
you see it's simple I am not required to write a summons for a violation, I can simply warn and admonish you.... but if you got me to the point where I did write it you had to have earned it I dont get paid extra to write summons and I dont get paid overtime to go to traffic court.
as young cop I worked in a busy Pct an oldtimer gave me a good piece of advice it's better to go through your career with more friends than enemies, treat people the way you want your family to be treated it they came into contact with the law. If they are too ignorant to realize that they are being treated with respect and dignity and that you are treating them like a human being, than so be it you do what you have to than.
with that said, mutual respect goes a long way and will ultimately reward you in the long run.
I guess my memory isn't that bad after all
