We all have a right to our own opinion. It does trouble me that there are some here are such cop haters. While I won't say that there are no bad or overly anxious cops out and about, there are not enough to make me lose sleep. I save my contempt for the criminal pukes since police often put their lives on the line to guard against them. To me people who have a problem with the police ARE the problem. Why is it so hard just to cooperate when interacting with police and not act like turd? Nobody likes to to get a ticket for anything so just make sure you don't get into a situation where you may get one in the first place. Think about who you vote for in regards to laws. California is what it is because people in mass vote the way they do.

I find if you show a little respect they do the same,seems to me like the state troopers have a little more class than the county and city officers though. Where I live the young county officers are jerks lol we have plenty of police here in the valley State,county,city and the Indians, the Indians have 1 side of 95 the county the other and the state both sides the city in the city limits only

CrabbyMilton · September 10, 2014, 06:16:59 AM

Yeah the larger the population the more likely you'll find some not so nice officers. Considering what they must deal with, you can't blame some for being less than nice at all times but abuse is never acceptable. Some people mistake them for being on their guard for being jerks. I'm not a cop but I knew that there are those out there who may try to harm or kill me, I will not likely be overly nice either.

Nicely said CM Thought I was the only one. Now days it is pretty nasty out there. There was a bank robbery in Stockton a few months ago that an employee got taken on the way out of the bank and finally used as a shield against the police. By the time they got 1 out of 4 guys there were 72 shots into there cars (the Police) and the gang guys in a station wagon had 35 holes in it. Inside the car they found 200 rounds more in boxes and 6 AK-41's. When done there was 4 in the car killed including the young woman and one living ( the driver). 4 cops shot injured only but in hospital for awhile a 2 badly enough to not ever return to work. This is worse case but my point is these guys go to work at shift and don't know these days if they are coming home just like being at war. The little pay they get is not worth it.
A cop investigator friend of mine 6 years ago went to a house that had two sides to it and was going to take a report of a Deadbeat Dad from a wife on a statement so they could find out where he was hanging out. The guy next door was a drugy and was freaking out opened his door and shot and killed my buddy. He had 3 young kids and a wife and taught Sunday school. Just trying to help someone and her kids.
These days for every bad one there are 20 that need to be there. Just saying. Off soap box.

I guess you've never had the pleasure of dealing with a corrupt lying SOB with a badge and gun who thinks he's above the law, or the courts who refuse to do anything about it even after he
admits under oath that he was breaking the law.

In my opinion, all cops are corrupt, or soon will be.

luvrbus · September 10, 2014, 06:54:03 AM

When I read about officers and it is a very small % that scare the hell out of young women and take advantage of the stop that one is sicking IMO that SOB should be hung and not put on leave with pay kinda like a paid vacation for not honoring your position

CrabbyMilton · September 10, 2014, 06:54:59 AM

Well Gumpy I did say you have a right to a your opinion. I don't know what led up to your situation or the cops side of it but that doesn't make them all bad. I did say that abuse is never acceptable but that includes both sides.

pete36330 · September 10, 2014, 08:52:12 AM

Well .For all you die hard cop haters out there ,,next time you need help, IE someone robs your house ,assaults someone in your family .robs you, steals your stuff ,maybe you need to call someone else, maybe you'll get help for someone that is not a lying ,cheating SOB,, to help you ,,good luck

I don't get what the difference between public and private property makes to illegal activity. It's (whatever "it" is) is equally against the law both places. Idling laws, bypassed emissions, duty time logs, daily inspection logs, safety issues all have to be up to date if you're working the truck. Unless there is something I am really missing here...

My understanding is police generally cannot issue citations for things such as expired registration in a private lot unless they saw you drive in. It seems silly because your registration was probably expired before you drove into the lot unless the car was there for a long time.

luvrbus · September 10, 2014, 09:06:48 AM

I have a lot of cop friends both active and retired they all will tell you some don't need to be in uniform with a badge and gun fwiw

Wait a second here. So if I use my bus converted to an RV that will have 90% of it's usage as a camping RV to drive to a gig I have to have a special plate and registration in some states? You have got to be kidding me. There is nothing like that as far as I know here in Florida.

I thought that is a rule in most states? Most states are calling motorhomes used to transport anything used to make money a commercial vehicle subject to the same regulations as a typical commercial vehicle. Even a motorhome pulling a trailer with a race vehicle in it is considered commercial if the race has a cash purse.

The use of a vehicle usually dictates the type of licensing that is required. It can get sticky making a determination as to how one should register their coach.

A traveling salesman that uses his personal car for business during the week likely does not have the car registered with commercial plates, and the same likely hold true for the coach. But I know of some coaches that are used for business, and the owner has gone so far as to have the name of his company on the side of the coach. That might be stretching it and asking for trouble.

I used all my coaches extensively for business purposes, but they were still our personal motor home and except for getting us and some displays to a trade show every week or so the coach was our personal home on the road and used just as much for our personal purposes as when used to take us and our trade show display to a show. But there was no signage on the coach or toad.
