Why WON'T cops EVER admit to being WRONG???

[swerve]

As most of you know, I'm harassed on ALMOST a DAILY basis by law enforcement...

And on SOME days it REALLY gets to me...

TODAY is ONE of those days...

Earlier -- I was entering the State of Oregon and, just like always, had to go through the Port of Entry where I was STOPPED in front of the scale house...

The cop tells me to PARK and bring in all of my paperwork -- well, the parking lot is a ways down the road and the first half of the parking lot was full with boat inspection people -- so I ended up having to walk 1/2 a mile in 90 some degree heat lugging my Permits, Licensing, Registrations book, log book, and bills of lading clipboard up to their office...

WHEN I get there -- he goes through everything to make sure it is legal -- and then asks to see my Oregon Permit -- I hand it over and he verifies by computer to make sure it is legitimate -- THEN he turns to me and says -- "The reason I needed you to bring in everything is that the license plate number on this permit doesn't match the license plate on your truck"...

I take the permit back and look at it and say "No sir, you must be mistaken -- this IS my license plate number -- and I can verify it by showing you the vehicle registration (which I did)"...

He then says "Well, your company must have switched plates or something then"...

I was LOSING MY COOL quickly -- I had VERY LITTLE sleep last night because the whores were out in DROVES in Bakersfield and kept banging on my door wanting to know if I wanted company -- YES -- WHORES!!! You see, cops are TOO AFRAID to fight REAL crimes, they'd MUCH rather harass legitimate citizens who won't shoot back. Not to mention, I'd been driving ALL day in MASSIVE heat...

So, instead of grabbing him by the neck and pushing him up against the wall (which is what I wanted to do), I took a couple of steps forward so that I was 'in his face' and said "I not ONLY own the truck I drive, I own the COMPANY that I drive for and I can ASSURE you that I have had the SAME license plate on this truck since 2006"...

He took a couple of steps back and said "What I need you to do is go back out to your truck and prove to me that the license plate on your truck matches these numbers"...

I grabbed all my books and headed out -- only to realize that I was in a separate parking lot quite a ways from the scales and that the interstate is one way only -- Plus, I wasn't sure what he asking for in the first place -- so I just walked backed to my truck, put it in gear, and left...

Thankfully, no one chased me down...

Why couldn't the cop just ADMIT to making a SIMPLE mistake rather then come up with some convoluted and bizarre scenario???

Cuz he is a bureaucratic POS....it is the same anywhere... how many COPS when caught on video simply beating the piss out of some criminal who may need to be stopped but once they are on the ground does not deserve to be kicked relentlessly until they are unconscious ..... how many admit they are wrong after it is shown in video that they are wrong?

Damn near none. They always have some excuse. Pathetic is what it is...

Sorry you had a shitty day with the inspection Nazis.....

Cops are shit.

I think that police and law enforcement attracts people of, shall we say, a certain type of personality.

It's a slight generalisation, but if some of them weren't arrogant and single-minded with a feeling of superiority BEFORE they joined up, then they get that way after years of (literally) laying down the law to people.

P.S....

I'm imagining you flying along in your truck at 100mph crossing the state line with a trail of police cars and sirens wailing after you - reminds me of Smokey and the Bandit.

 

[looseliam]

From my experience with law enforcement, I think it's more of a sense of infallibility. THEY have been chosen to enforce the law, therefore they are the law (cue Judge Dread quote...)

Instead of him being wrong, it's merely a misunderstanding you YOUR part.

They have small penises. And ugly wives.

Oregon cops don't protect and serve anymore... they're pretty much revenue collectors for the cities/state. Speed traps are about the only place you'll find a cop, if you happen to need one.

My best guess? He had a thing for truckers and wanted to get you all riled up so you'd take him back to your cab and rock his repressed little world.

On a more serious note: I hope he didn't write down any of your information.

PS: Maybe you should get a "do not disturb" sign for your windows?

 

[JayHawk]

because as soon as they do, someone slaps them with a lawsuit.

Well if they are wrong don't they deserve the lawsuit?

Theodore...

Next time in Bakersfield for the overnight,

hang a 'Do Not Disturb" sign on the door.

advertised several in a tasteful Plum Script

no they don't , everyone makes mistakes. So if the lady at McDonalds fucks up your meal does she deserve a lawsuit.

As most of you know, I'm harassed on ALMOST a DAILY basis by law enforcement...:

It's talking with you a few times a week on the phone that have me sure I made the right decision to quit driving over the road.There has not been a single day since I last slept in a truck two years that has me saying,''Gee,I miss being subjected to all kinds of dumb shit.Whether it be the retarded policies of the mega carriers I drover for,being treated like shit by shippers and receivers,or the day to day antics of rednecks on the cb,heavilly congested cities or dealing with DOT cops at the scalehouses who want to give to scrutinize your log books in the hope they can find a 15 minute change of duty status error that will net you a $500.00 dollar ticket..Yep,most of America gets overtime after working a set amount of hours,but a trucker not only doesn't get overtime,he gets a fine that will pretty much wipe out his paycheck for that week..


My rant aside,you know why they pull you around the scales..You're an easy mark.First off,you're a one truck company.So you're not gonna have the stats of the countless JB Hunt,Swift,US Express,Marten trucks that cross the same scales everyday..

I know you do well on inspections,I've seen your equipment,and it's safer than a lot of trucks I see on the east coast,where scales are rarely open..

But you know how it works..Inspections are decided based on fleet size,results of past inspections..Passed versus out of service violations..They are hoping that one day you'll fail one..But,in the meantime,every passed test raises your CVSA score..

I was LOSING MY COOL quickly -- I had VERY LITTLE sleep last night because the whores were out in DROVES in Bakersfield and kept banging on my door wanting to know if I wanted company -- YES -- WHORES!!! You see, cops are TOO AFRAID to fight REAL crimes, they'd MUCH rather harass legitimate citizens who won't shoot back. Not to mention, I'd been driving ALL day in MASSIVE heat... :

But Ted,hookers,especially hookers that will swallow the cum of unwashed redneck truckers are not 'real criminals.' And it's not the job of the DOT cop to chase the whores away from your truck..

God know they are a fucking nuisance,but in places like that,just tape a sign to your windows,one that lets the pavement princesses know your ''not interested in commercial company.''

What's wrong with the AC in your truck?

I grabbed all my books and headed out -- only to realize that I was in a separate parking lot quite a ways from the scales and that the interstate is one way only -- Plus, I wasn't sure what he asking for in the first place -- so I just walked backed to my truck, put it in gear, and left...

Thankfully, no one chased me down... :

Can't fault you there.Glad they didn't chase you down. I woulda have like to do that when I was being harrassed in Tishimingo,Mississippi..Good times..

Cops are shit.

Yeah,say that next time you get robbed..

They have small penises. And ugly wives.

Really,I have a lot of family on the NYPD..No dogs except the ones they worked with...Cops in family,in the NYPD from the 1890's till my cousin Kim retired in 2006 due to Ground Zero related illnesses..

Yep!!!

Below are some of the shit cops in my family and the dogs they've married..

no they don't , everyone makes mistakes. So if the lady at McDonalds fucks up your meal does she deserve a lawsuit.

My point is if five cops beat the fuck outta me for ten mintues after I stop resisting or running or anything then they have stopped being impartial or the cities finest citizens... they become criminals and they deserve a fucking lawsuit for abusing their power. The alternative is them being criminally prosecuted and imprisoned which would be a death sentence in most prisons for a cop.

If a doctor cuts off the wrong breast in your mastectomy do they deserve a lawsuit?

If a soldier shoots a few civilians during the clearing of a village do they deserve a lawsuit or prison time?

If a lawyer totally misrepresents your case and loses you thousands should he be sued for malpractice?

If a Realtor just wants to make a quick buck and dumps your house to the first seller not taking the best value are they guilty of malpractice? Should you sue them or just take it?

I think the majority of law enforcement are professionals that deserve our respect and assistance. The ones that are shit SHOULD NOT BE COVERED UP FOR because of some idiotic blue fucking line.

That is what I think

Interesting you think a cop is more like a Mcdonalds worker than any other comparison. I tend to refer to them as professionals with a credo and a great deal of responsibility

If they do a Rodney King on someone,then ,fuck em.They deserve to be sentenced to prison..

I remember,years back,the NYPD had more cops doing the perp walk than regular criminals.One precint in particular,the 30th Precint,or,the Dirty 30,had dozens of cops popped for all kinds of shit from taking free coffee,to protecting drug dealers.Many of them lost their jobs,city pension,and some faced prison time..I felt bad for many of them,cause first off,the charges seemed like chicken shit and second, we all know what awaits a cop in prison.But some of them deserved it..I guess they knew it too,that's why half of them ate their revolver before sentencing..

In my family,especially back in the 30's through the 60's-cops worked a different way.They took money and many werent ashamed of it.The Knapp Commision put an end to most of that.Many cops retired rather than be called before a Grand Jury..I know my Grandfather,whom I'm named after done shit that would NEVER be tolerated on the job today.For good reason..

M cousins Kim and Bobby Joe,(Bobby Joe is now an instructor w/the FDNY-Kim retired due to the fact she cant breathe after spending 9 months at Ground Zero,inhaling poison everday)they were new school cops.Neither of them would take a dime and would probably throw you down a flight of stairs for even offering..Different times..In the old days,many cops thought nothing of helping themselves to what they could grab..It was encouraged,widely practiced and an Officer wouldn't be trusted if he didn't..Hell,in the 1900's,corruption was so widespread,cops bought their promotions through political contacts-ward bosses..To become a Lt.cost around a thousand dollars back in 1905 money.But,you got a share of the spoils..

I think the majority of law enforcement are professionals that deserve our respect and assistance. The ones that are shit SHOULD NOT BE COVERED UP FOR because of some idiotic blue fucking line.

That is what I think

Most of them are.Still,I don't answer unneccesary questions or volunteer any information not required..

I figure most of them are sniffing around,looking for you to help them hem you up on bigger charges..Traffic stops are boring,but it's a great way to find drugs,guns warrants,etc..

It's not my job to be help them create more charges for me..

 

[JayHawk]

Yup Kenny I have five family members on the job. Hell I get mistaken for being a cop often enough... I would imagine it gets me outta stuff occasionally... I dont know how many cops have pulled up next to me at 80...waved and drove on...

I respect a great deal what they do... I really do but the abuses drive me nuts.

For instance my one uncle who will remain unamed. So Roy used to work a beat on vine street in Cincinnati Ohio... not the nicest of neighborhoods to begin with but it was his beat.

For a kick if he felt like gettin into a scrum he would throw white castle coffee on the less than upright black citizens of the neighborhood and then when attacked beat the shit outta them and arrest them for assaulting an officer.

That is a rather benign story. I am sure you have plenty.

Roy got canned for taking 60 bucks in marked bills outta a purse that he was to be checking into evidence. it was a sting and he had the three marked twenties in his pocket when they grabbed him. He fought it for a year and then when the city fired him he was immediately offered jobs on no less than five state and municipal departments.

Makes no sense.

Yeah,I agree John..I've even been mistaken for being an Anti Crime Cop by other cops a few times.Guess that's easy enough,since they don't wear uniforms.Nah,not a cop,probably would have ok at it,but just took a different path.One that,in my younger years had demanded an intimacy with them that I would have liked to avoid..But,stupid is ,as stupid does..And I done a lot of stupid shit before I calmed down in my mid 30's..I guess in all honesty,a functioning alcoholic ,while prevalent on most police forces,is likely to run into trouble on the streeet..

Sorry about your Uncle Roy..Reminds me of a story in a good book I sent to my cousin.Entitled 'Blue Blood.'' By Edward Conlin..A guy who worked in the same precint as my cousin Kim..The 44th Precint,a real slice of hell..

He also comes from a family w/deep roots in the NYPD..A favorite Uncle in his family was a Detective in the 1930's and NOTORIOUSLY corrupt.He would rob the dead of their shoes if he liked the way they looked and thought nothing of pocketing the money he found in an apartment while waiting for the coroner.He made no bones about being corrupt,but-in those days ,it wasn't really viewed with the same contempt it is now..Especially when you had a guy like Jimmy Walker as a Mayor...Old Jimmy was a good looking Irish boy who loved to drink,smoke and date dancing young caberet girls.He'd never have a prayer today,the way voters are so freaking uptight..

He went out for a pack of cigarettes and left the country when it was sure he'd be ousted from office..Then came,LaGuardia..He was no fun..

Enclosed,is a picture of 'His Honor' Jimmy Walker.My kinda criminal.Unlike the current politicians,he shared the loot..

LOL @OP. U expect cops to be honest when they make a mistake? Please, their egos are bigger than Nicki Minaj's ass.
