everybody should e-mail these to three people and and tell them to do the same.

 

i had a similar thing happen to me in caldwell, idaho. i got my van searched after i told them no. a gram of marijuana was found that i didn't realize i had. i was arrested and taken to jail. when i got back to my van at impoundthe next morning i noticed my gas tank was empty, it was full when i got pulled over. i went back into the tow office and asked them if they went for a joy ride. the tow truck driver told me that it was running when they picked it up at 3am, i got pulled over at 8pm. the fuckers left my van running on the side of an interstate highway with the sliding door open. i got physically harassed, lied to and illegally searched. a bottle full of vicodin was missing that i had a prescription for. everything in my van was bent, broken and turned over. i got a lawyer and the charge was dropped. it will always be on my record that i got charged with marijuana, which is the same as being convicted in my book. i got pulled over because i had long hair, i cut it all off the next day but i can't say that it has done any good. i live in cop central and if i ever have children i will teach them not to trust johnny law just like i would teach them not to trust strangers.

 

cheers,

Many cops are just power trippin' fools. I've done my share of things that ended with police involvement and some cops have been cool and others pure c*cksuckers. I got arrested once when I shouldn't have - charges were dropped in the end, but it cost me a over a grand for a lawyer.

 

Those Canadian border F*cks can be bad too. On the way to Whistler a few years ago, I got thrown into one of those interigation rooms for over 2 hours while they ripped through all of our gear - and they found - nothing. :anger:

the charges were dropped but i bet the charge is still on your record. bottom line is that your in their system. in their eyes you are guilty until proven innocent.

 

yes there are good cops but how do you know which one are the good ones. kinda like all the good cops who stood outside of the columbine high school during the melee and did nothing. there must be better money in traffic violations and less risk to boot.

From time to time, I'll hand-roll American Spirit Organic Blend tobacco - particularly, on long road trips. They flipped out at the border when they discovered my ashtray filled with a half-dozen "roaches".

 

I got a real funny look from the U.S. Border agent when, stopped at the border entering Alaska from B.C. above Haines, I started rolling one in my car while he was questioning me. He didn't see the tobacco pouch and stopped in mid-sentence when he noticed me twisting one up:

 

"...uh...sir, that's not what it looks like, is it?"

 

I love questions like that, as it could have been some sweet bud, I could have assumed he thought it looked like tobacco, and I could have honestly answered, "No."

I'm not sure how the system works in that way. I doubt when a cop runs your information for a traffic ticket every infraction you've ever had, regardless of guilt, is pulled up. However, it will come up everytime you go in front of a judge and your criminal record is pulled up. I also don't know how long misdemeanor charges stay on your record - maybe they're permanent.

 

Maybe some ex-judges or cops could chime in. I wouldn't trust them if they're still in the business though. Haha.

I think that cops should be professional at all times and have zero emotional response to any attitude/provocation/defiance/etc thrown there way, and there are quite a few policemen out there who live up to that standard - but being human there's quite a few that don't. Is versus ought.

 

My buddy and I pulled into the Sultan Park and Ride at about 1:00AM on a Friday night, and had no sinister motives other than meeting up with a Friend and carpooling to trailhead outside Leavenworth and hitting up Colchuck midwinter. Within about 2-3 minutes of pulling in, a policeman rolled in with the lights on, put the beam on us, and tapped on the window.

 

At this point, the interaction could possibly could have gone downhill in a hurry, since we had done nothing wrong or illegal, and could have made a point of that fact had we chose to. It didn't work out that way, because we engaged him politely, said we understood why he might have reason to view a car with two grow men idling in a pullout after 1:00AM on a Friday as something a bit out of the ordinary. We explained what we were doing there, showed him our climbing gear, and then chatted with him about five minutes and got a few class-A "Tales from Methland" out of the guy before he said goodnight and drove off.

 

Not everyone has this luxury, and sometimes no amount of courtesy or good sense can affect a situation for the better, but I'd be willing to wager that more often than not you can exert quite a bit of control over your interactions with police by treating them the way you'd want to be treated if you were in their shoes, even if they aren't doing the same for you when you first encounter them.

there are unprofessional people in every profession no doubt about it. a bad cop can ruin your life and the bad ones should get double the punishment for their wrong doings while on duty. this thread isn't about good cops it's about asshole cops who think they are above the law. what shoes are the cops in, remember they chose to wear those shoes?
