RE: Ask a Police Officer Thread Ver. 2
The officer is just lucky that the woman didn't have a gun in her hand when she came out around the other side of the car and blow his brains out. Or when starting the car didn’t just back up and crush him to death in anger.
The reality is the fact that the man was tasered before the police offer even touched him is outrageous.
The spontaneous search was a bit uncalled for also.
Once again an over zealous officer with a cocky attitude that shows even through the camera lens...

Just curious, if an officer asked to search your car, can you demand that a lawyer be present? Or a high ranking police person to be present, like a sheriff..?
I found it extremely odd that he was just grabbing doors, opening them, and looking through stuff.
I thought that if a police officer demanded to search your car, and you could request the logic behind the search and if he provides a bogus reason, like to see if you have drugs, you can say no, and then the officer decides to search your car anyways and finds nothing, then can you sue?
I don’t carry anything illegal, but the point is, my car is my privacy, and if a cop wants to search it then I want to be able to sue or retaliate via financial reimbursement for the aggravation and wasting of my time. Just like I can’t go to your house and demand that you open it up and let me look around.

You can report it, if you do it anonymously nothing will happen. If that officer took any action on you afterwards it would be a very BAD idea for him because he will get to visit internal affairs soon after and trust me we are not big fans of going there. What will happen to him? Probably be reprimanded by his Lt or Sgt, depending on whether or not he has other complaints. The other problem is a lot of officer's share cars so unless they have a sign out system, no dice. If he was chasing someone he would have hit the lights to warn others, he most likely was tired or didn't notice, but I couldn't say for sure of course. AWD is right, YOU are the police of us. Departments take complaints seriously, at least around here, so think about it and if you still want to, it's your right as a citizen.
AWD :"They ARE human, after all... Full of the same kinds of faults and foibles as you or I."
-actually we are human..... until we get in bed, then we become gods! True story, ask my girlfriends.
AWD ; "how often are YOu willing to stand in freezing-cold rain and direct traffic around a 3-car T/A, at midnight?}), "
-Don't jinx me. When your hands lock up from the cold, that's when it really hurts.
PS if it's me DONT REPORT IT!
jk....sort of

WHAT?!!? Tired or didn't notice isn't a valid excuse for me when I go over the limit or run a stop sign/red light, fail to signal, etc.... why is it for you (and by you I mean POs.)

I seem like I'm always ranting in this thread. I actually had a question though.
Have you ever, or know of anyone that has, pulled someone over for going to slow?
The reason I'm asking is that I was coming around a bend yesterday and there was someone going 15 in a 30 and I had to slam my brakes and swerve off the road to avoid hitting this person. I'm lucky I didn't damage my car in the process.
Is there any truth to a "civilian arrest?"

I hear u doing 15 on 30. There is 4 mile narrow strech at Cabin John Parkway, towards DC..and due to deer warning, the posted speed is 35 in some and 45 in other...and last week... this stupid "Monday" bitch was yaking on the phone at 2 in the morning (no fog/rain/snow, very clear)and driving at 20 ..pissed me off, as there was no place to overtake her, and she didn't responded to high flash. Finally, when I overtook her..saw her on phone..."Mondays" are idiots..

Please quote the part where i said it was an excuse, because that was certainly NOT what I said at all. I was guessing as to why he did it,I NEVER said that it was ok.If you are going to post comments like this please just keep them to yourself. Don't become another Bob who is now banned from this thread. This is not the "post your feelings about police officers thread"
