I Hate Cops!!!!

**Skip Towne** · 04-16-2005, 07:33 PM

Shortly before noon I was driving in downtown Claremore, Ok when the flashing lights come on behind me. The first thing the cop asks is if I knew why he stopped me. I said no. He said defective exhaust system. (My van doesn't smoke at all and isn't at all loud.) In the squad car he runs my tag and finds nothing amiss. He gives me a warning ticket for defective exhaust and never says a word about my exhaust. He says I am free to go but he wants to ask me another question. Do I have any drugs, alcohol, guns, knives or bombs in the van. I say no. He says do I mind if he checks. I say he has no reason to search my van so he calls for a drug dog crew. He says my eyes are bloodshot so I must be doing drugs. Now I not free to go all of a sudden. The drug dog doesn't hit on the van so the dickhead finally lets me go. This is outrageous bullshit. From a bogus defective exhaust warning to searches and drug dogs because he doesn't like the looks of my eyes. Where is this shit going to end?

Why do you ask? You got a warrant?

Funny how people always state that they have a right to refuse to be searched but assume the cop doesn't have a right to ask to do so.

I also find it funny that most cops I know (and I know plenty) are former drunks and potheads. They're not always right (or intelligent) but they're not complete idiots either.

Plus, I've read your posts for a good while now and know you deserve to be given as much $#it as possible...

Oh, yeah, after the dog cleared me the dickwad asked if he could pat me down. There were 3 cop cars there by this time so I let him and he found nothing. I think my out of state tag attracted him as there isn't much suspicious about a 59 year old man driving an Astro van with ladders on top. Obviously a work vehicle. He sure was disappointed he didn't get anything but a no revenue warning ticket out of the deal.

yep, I bet he was, what the hell could he have been thinking to go all out on a search

I have always said if a cops want to search me or my vehicle, without probable cause, and I wouldn't think red eyes is a cause, hell the sun or allergies could cause that, I would make them get a search warrent just to be a big bitch.

DING! DING! DING!

Skip, if I were you, I'd get the tag replaced. I've heard by numerous people that OK law enforcement keys on out of state tags and that they tend to be a bit more lenient on OK tags. Several of the guys in the church told me to keep the speedometer at or below the limit until I got my tags changed out. Now, don't expect that OK tag to get you out of trouble, but it might help a bit.

You know, there is a thing called Visine. I hear it's quite popular with the potheads.

That is ridiculous skip, some cops are truely assholes, if he had asked you about the drugs first and then ended up getting a dog crew out, I'm sure you would have gotten a ticket.
