I Hate Cops!!!! - Page 7

**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?

The anecdote you cite, clearly illustrates a person who knows the precise "process" and plays their hand accordingly. A cop who isn't very confident in their "reasonable suspicion" with such a person, will know he needs to call of the dogs. With a less sophisticated, knowledgable, or experinced person, he can be more aggressive....which will often lead to discovery of something illegal, which validates his "reasonable suspicion." There are few cases where citizens are actually willing to go to court to have a cop proven "wrong" in a case like this....it just isn't worth it.

Unless you are an ardent member of the ACLU, or have something to hide.

I guess I missed your caveat, sorry.

Dude, you spell words wrong on a message board. I can't believe you are even smart enough to dress yourself in the mornings.

Hey, Jim, I really appreciate this. That cop told me I was free to go and then quickly said he wanted to ask me another question. Very tricky, now I know just to get out of the car and go when he says that. He was clearly trying to trick me into staying. I won't stay again.

No, no...I'm more selective and indirect with my pejoratives: I usually go with extremist, radical, elitist, arrogant, liberal, or condescending...those aren't as distasteful as a direct insult.

This is a message board, I am not interested in taking time to worry about syntax and spelling. I am a great student and do fine in writing intensive courses.

But, maybe you are on to something. Maybe if I work harder I can become a grouchy old man that sits around and smokes pot; bitter and alone.

wait a minute...

speaking on behalf of grouchy old men everywhere and anymore, smoking pot does not make you sit around...

well, maby a little...

At least you are trying to keep up, and you think "young"....heh.

One entry found for anymore.

Main Entry: any·more
Pronunciation: "e-nE-'mOr, -'mor
Function: adverb
1 : any longer
2 : at the present time : NOW

usage Although both anymore and any more are found in written use, in the 20th century anymore is the more common styling. Anymore is regularly used in negative , interrogative , and conditional contexts and in certain positive constructions . In many regions of the U.S. the use of anymore in sense 2 is quite common in positive constructions, especially in speech . The positive use appears to have been of Midland origin, but it is now reported to be widespread in all speech areas of the U.S. except New England

Skip - isn't 9:30 your normal bedtime? You need to get some rest - especially after the heart attack you experienced today.

After reading this post very carefully, I have concluded that you don't know jack shit. Who fuc*ing cares what was pertinent 15 years ago? And who cares anything about Iowa? Consider your opinion disregarded.

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.

I have a lot of help with that. She also makes sure my penis tastes nice before I leave for a long day on the job.

Nobody notices your penis smells like morning breath?

This can be read two ways, one is funnier than the other. Leaving it up to the imagination.
