Do you trust Cop or not?

[DeafTim]

No,I do not trust cops at all b/c I have very good reasons. Couple of cops in my small hometown wanted to fawk with me.(Nothing else to do) I guess just b/c Im hearing impaired and they find it as weakness. So they preyed on me.

One night, this lady cop pulled me over. She called back-up. She said I was weaving. My friend who was with me thought she was full of shit. Get this, those 2 sorry ass cops came and messed with me.calling me names,screaming right in my face. I was looking at the lady cop,she couldnt look at me,and was smirking. I was let go just b/c I passed couple of tests. I wasnt scared at all. I was 18,then. (Im 34,today) I still remember the whole incident like it was yesterday.

Couple of weeks later, the lady cop went missing. It was on the news. She crashed her vehicle and hid in woods. She was rumored drunk. I laughed good about it. Karma is a bitch!

Im a grown man,today and If I ever see them again in street clothes, it is on, I promise!

I had something simular happened to me, some idiot driver in front of me stopped suddenly, scared the fark outta me, I weaved to my right to avoid hitting him and all of sudden he took off.

I was like WTF????

Then flashes of light right behind me, I get my notepad out and asked him if he saw what the driver in front of me did. He looked at me, started talking to me, I shook my head and pointed at my ears. He started screaming. I continued to state that I am deaf. He threw my notepad back at my face and told me to leave. So I did. Left me wondering what the hell his problem was.

Dumbass cop.

Then I felt a *THUMP!" as I was rolling out back to the road, thinking my tire may have kicked up a rock and it hit the underside of my car.

Then I noticed my left lighter changer wasn't working, so when I got home, I checked to see if I blew a bulb and noticed a hole in my taillight. Little farker smacked my taillight with his flashlight as I was rolling out.

Ohhhh I was pissed.

Next morning I called the Police Station (good thing they got their TDD a year before as I recalled reading the local town paper about it) and bitched up a storm about it. The Chief called back that afternoon and said he would follow up on my complaint.

3 days later I get a letter in the mail and it stated that he could not find any evidence of misconduct on the Officer's part and no fragments of my taillight could be found on the side of the road where I stopped at ( of course, the fragment all fell inside, nothing missing. The cop didn't have to hit it that hard, cheap taillight.) Cost me 25 bux to have it replaced at a junkyard whereas at the time it would have cost me $150 brand new.

Anyway, 4 years later, I'm on my break and at the breakroom lays a Metro section of the newspaper on the table with the cop's picture on the front page. I picked it up and read it. Dumbass cop got ran over by a van driver who came up to a blind corner and accidentally ran him over while he was jogging. The driver wasn't charged, it was an accident.

Karma caught up with him alright.

In fact, I asked several cashiers in different gas stations where the cop often patrols in his route and none of them liked him. He always comes in with a bad attitude. In fact, one of the cashier told me that the cop went ballistic when he charged his cup of coffee (not all gas stations give free stuff to cops, ya know.) and threatened to arrest him if he didn't get his money back.

He gave his refund because he didn't want the hassle, but did tell his boss about it. He called up the Chief and the cop got written up for it. LOL

I remember living in an apartment complex where half the tenants were black; the West End section of Richmond as a whole is mostly white. The apt complex was just crawling with cops.

Then the light in my rear end of my car began to malfunction and cops would stop me and I would go to the service station to get the light replaced. It'd fail again and it got so bad that I feared going out into the street to go to the corner store because it took me a while to realize that the reason why my light kept failing was because there was something wrong with the electrical system. I got that fixed even though I had to live on rice pilaf for the rest of the month. At least, cops didn't stop me everytime I went out into the road anymore.

When my apt got struck by lightning, I had to move half a block down. This block was mostly white and I hardly saw any cops over there.


I won't go to Hanover County Va for the following reasons: if you get lost, you can expect to have cops turn on the lights or if you do anything they think is "wrong", they will turn on the siren and have you pull over. I tried to see my BF last year in Hanover county but because I was lost, cops pulled me over "because I was driving funny". I was lost, not drunk. I hardly ever drink. I went home because I didn't want more harrasment from Hanover County cops.

When I lived in Charlotte, I could get away with certain stuff. Cops would over look it but as soon as they saw Mexicans doing the same thing as me they would pull them over.

Good Stuff!

One of the cops who was screaming right in my face was really furious at me b/c he didnt get a rise out of me. I was calmed and cool the whole time. I wasnt upset or mad b/c I knew better. Not gonna let some punk get to me. Nope! My friend hurried told me to take him home so I did. He begged me to tell my parents what just happened. He was scared shitless. Get this, cops messed with him,too. Small town cops are ruthless. They are so bored with their jobs so they want all the attention they can get.

Yeppa, the town I lived in WAS a small town, not anymore. It's a city now and the cops are WAY WORSE than what it used to be. In fact, my brother who is 10 years older than me had it bad with them too. So we're talking about generations of bad cops, City Cops mostly. The Sheriff Dept. are much better than city. I love those guys. They're far more relaxed than the City Cops are.

So I realized that if you have one bad cop that is a bad influence with other cops, you can create a whole generation of bad cops. So the Sheriff Dept has always had generations of good people, therefore it generated generations of good cops. Amazing how one person can influence a whole bunch. Just hope it stays that way, one bad apple can ruin a whole bunch of them for sure.

The group of amateur wranglers was about to begin walking Houdini back across the road and into her pen when one of the officers pulled out a Taser and shot the cow with it, Bordeleau said.

“We were all screaming at the officer to please stop, to please not Taser it,” she said.

The shock didn’t do much but annoy the cow, Bordeleau said, but once it was back within the farm’s borders, the officer shot it with the Taser three more times, she said.

WTF? Asshole! They already had control of the cow and the cop saw an opportunity to have fun with his taser gun. I would care less to go to jail if he did that to my cow, I'd run up and kick his nuts.

PDs pushing measures are also some of the "dirtiest", are under DOJ investigation

Anyone who works retail knows that you can and probably are being videotaped. And if you do something wrong, like steal something, you can bet you'll eventually be caught and those tapes will be used against you.

Unfortunately, some police officers across the United States seem to think that they should be above the level of accountability of the average citizen. In response to a slew of cell phone and webcam photos and videos catching cops in brutality, racial profiling, and other unsavory acts, police have begun arresting and filing charges against those who video tape them.

I. Law-Abiding Teen is Detained

Khaliah Fitchette was a law-abiding teen who never got in trouble and always got good grades. Imagine her surprise when she ended up in handcuffs for a seemingly responsible act.
When two police officers boarded a city bus she was riding in Newark, New Jersey, Ms. Fitchette pulled out her cell phone and began taping the cops. The cops were working to remove a drunken man.

The young lady recalls, "One of the officers told me to turn off my phone, because I was recording them. I said no. And then she grabbed me and pulled me off the bus to the cop car, which was behind the bus."

She was handcuffed and subjected to the same indignities as your average drug dealer or car thief. The next two hours she sat in the back of the car as the police played with her phone deleting the video. At the end of two hours, she was released.

Outraged, the young lady and her parents later filed suit against the Newark Police Department with the help of the New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The ACLU is a civil rights advocacy organization whose famous slogan is "freedom can't protect itself."

Deborah Jacobs, director of the ACLU chapter, states in an interview with National Public Radio, "All of us, as we walk around, have to understand that we could be filmed, we could be taped. But police officers above all others should be subject to this kind of filming because we have a duty to hold them accountable as powerful public servants."

Shaken, Ms. Fitchette says she would be wary to ever tape a police officer again. She states, "It would have to be important enough to get myself in trouble for, I guess."

The Department has refused to respond to requests for comment about the suit.

Ironically if anyone needs to be videotaped on the job, it would seem to be the Newark PD.

The Department has a reputation for being among the "dirtiest" police departments in the region. The U.S. Department of Justice recently launched a misconduct investigation into the actions of the Newark PD, following 418 serious alleged civil rights violations (including 261 that resulted in Internal Affairs reports) over a period of two-and-a-half years.

II. Cop Brandishes Firearm at Citizen, Citizen Charged for Releasing Video

The New Jersey incident is not alone, though. Other states on the East Coast are also cracking down on citizens taping cops.

Maryland resident Anthony Graber was riding his motorcycle when a plain-clothes cop pulled him over. The cop was driving an unmarked car and did not immediately announce himself as a police officer. Instead he drew his firearm menacingly and ordered Mr. Graber "Get off the motorcycle!"

A few seconds later he finally established his identity, stating, "Get off the motorcycle, State Police."

Police officers are supposed to immediately announce that they are law enforcement. Based on the officer's initial statements and lack of any sort of identification, Mr. Graber might have believed him to be an armed robber. Things might have gone very differently had Mr. Graber been armed.

Mr. Graber had been recording the encounter from a helmet cam and when he arrived home he posted it [video] to YouTube.

Soon after he was hit with charges that he violated the state's wiretapping statute as he taped the officer's voice without consent. The charges were eventually dropped, but not before Mr. Graber was further harassed.

III. Clashes Between Camera Wielders, Police Rise

Unfortunately these incidents are not isolated. Across the country there's growing debate over whether to outlaw video taping police. Some cities like Chicago have made it a 15-year felony -- one step below murder -- to tape a police officer. Coincidentally, Chicago has one of the worst reputations for police brutality.

Some police argue that citizens recording cops are being responsible and that cops should behave with integrity when on the job. States Tom Nolan, a former Boston police officer who now teaches criminal justice at Boston University, states:

There's always going to be a pocket of police officers who are resistant to change. But I think the vast majority of police have been acclimated to the reality that what they're doing is likely being recorded at any given time.

The police will get the message when municipal governments and police departments have got to write out substantial settlement checks. Standing by itself, that video camera in the hands of some teenager is not going to constitute sufficient grounds for a lawful arrest.

Mr. Nolan says that the state of Massachusetts teaches cops that unless the video camera is also somehow being used in a criminal offense (like child pornography) that police should not arrest or otherwise harass citizens for video taping them. He says Massachusetts’s cops expect to be videotaped and strive to behave responsibly.

Other active cops, though, argue that they should be able to arrest and imprison citizens who record them in the act.

States Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, "They [police officers] need to move quickly, in split seconds, without giving a lot of thought to what the adverse consequences for them might be. We feel that anything that's going to have a chilling effect on an officer moving — an apprehension that he's being videotaped and may be made to look bad — could cost him or some citizen their life or some serious bodily harm."

The Fraternal Order of Police has, across the country, pushed for tough laws that would imprison those taping the police. They argue this prohibition should even be in effect if police invade a person's house (individuals have been arrested for photographing police officers coming into their house).

Mark Donahue, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, states in previous comments that his organization "absolutely supports" throwing those who tape police officers behind bars.

He complains that citizens monitoring police activities for wrongdoing might "affect how an officer does his job on the street."

In related news, police in recent months have carried out a number of bungled raids across the country, brutalizing homeowners only to find that they had fingered the wrong person do to sloppy investigation. Typically these raids stemmed from child pornography investigations. In recent months several states have also authorized police to begin seizing citizens' cell phones. And officers in at least nine states are now authorized to invade your property without warrant and plant tracking devices on your vehicles.
