I was in a car accident!

[Matty_Vegas]

an undercover cop backed into me in my car at a 7-11 today...
did not site the cop
go figure

 

[PuroEsq]

Why the heck would they cite the cop? It was your fault you were in the spot where he wanted to back in to.

 

[IgwanaRob]

That sucks, there ain't much you can do

 

[preembargo]

Doh!!

 

[cigarsarge]

Cops don't cite on privite property.

LOL :laugh:

KB, didn't you ever watch Columbo? All cops smoke cigars, and where do you think they go when the doghnut shops close? CP, where else?

 

[KayakinBoy]

Hey, I watch law and order for 3 hours every night (yeah I'm not kidding) I love police officers.

Sure cops break the law. They can just get away with it alot easier than we can.

Well, considering they are cops, many of their friends are cops. So if they get pulled over for, say speeding, they are more likely to get out of that ticket, compared to an average joe. :thumbs:

Just so you know I along with many others are Law Enforcement Officers post here. I upon occasion have ticketed fellow officers. I have let fellow officers go as well as citizens. It depends on the severity of what has happened. I have arrested Law Enforcment Officers as well.

I as a Law Enforcment Officer am no more immune to prosectution than you. Making ignorant rash statments such as the one you have just made only shows your true colors.

Maybe you should think before you post.

 

[surferonthecrystalcoast]

I've arrested fellows officers also. It's not fun but, it's part of the job.

 

[Nathan Rahl]

I never said that they get away with every law, every time. Nor do I consider my statements rash. They may be somewhat ignorant, one doesn't know everything. All I was saying, was that police officers are more likely to get out of small offenses, like speeding, more often than us civilians.

And I do know many of the members of this board are law enforcement officers, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. I meant nothing insulting in my comments and I think you just read to much into them. :whistling:

 

[cigarsarge]

I don't know what you do for a living but I would never make comments about it I could not back up with cold hard facts.

There are always those few who abuse which bring down a bad rap on the majority. I for one have been witness to several questionable acts by Memphis police officers that involved flying down the median/turn lanes just to get away from traffic. Or tailgating cars when they are going the exact speed limit in an attempt to get them to speed up (this happens to me all the time to and from work), or even turning on their lights at a red light and running through it then turning their lights off, pulling U-turns in the middle of the road are all examples of how I see cops pulling traffic violations on a daily basis.

My respect for police officers has not changed though, as I know it is just a select few that abuse their power.

PS, don't park where you aren't supposed to in Knoxville and have an opposing school's sticker on your car! It will get towed! Cops in Knoxville bleed Orange and it is great.

Cops cannot site on private property..this is true..what was funny..was that I was arguing with them...and then when I started to win the argument they both pulled out thier shields. NO Dammage was done to my car..and both the officers were very cordial.

I chalk it up to just another funny story....

altogether there was 5 undercover/no uniform cops there...3 squad cars...1 guy to take photographs...

most of the cops were busy making fun at the girl who hit me. apparent;y there is a substationa block away...I laughed very hard.

I dig cops...

I know that knowing a cop can get you out of trouble, because it worked for me a few times in my youth. Please officers of the board, don't get uptight, I'm all for the cops, just trying to add something to this lively discussion. ???
