Yet Another Reason to Hate Cops

Twice in the past year my fiancee' has gotten a bullshit seat belt ticket...while wearing a seat belt. No, they're not all bad....but they're getting to be, more every day. They are increasingly being used as a revenue stream. I'm sorry, but when a cop LIES to your face, its hard to respect them. Be a man, admit you were wrong, and move on. But no, they won't do that. Because they know better than you. More often than not, they've been the rude, disrespectful one.

The seatbelt ticket thing is BS... surprised I haven't gotten one yet as I'm the kinda guy that prefers to go flying through the windshield than to suffer whiplash... but that's just my personal choice, as I believe it should be everyone's personal choice to decide weather to put on a seatbelt or not.

Same with helmet laws, BS... I should decide if I want my brain intact or splattered... not the government.

Expect about 15-20 small minded folks jumping on your ass about that...

Every time I make a statement like that on this forum, the same idiotic gang show up and start talking about "fuk da poleese" and other random, idiotic things.

To which I say fuck'em... because just like you, I dearly appreciate the good men and women out there who go to work every day and put their lives at risk for people they know nothing about.

I figured you would be posting here and for the fist time I was going to have to agree with you on the subject. While I do believe the cops could have done a better job investigating, if the guy pulled out an ar15, I cannot say what the cops did was excessive. There are plenty of examples of cops killing innocent peple for no apparent reasons but this isn't one of them. I was linked to a news video that said he was hit with 22 bullets but the article says 60....?

Fuck no. Read the article again and think about it. There's a lot more than first meets the eye going on here. Didn't you see kick ass? The cop''s lawyer is basically swearing up and down it's like that and that he's the bad guy. Although he doesn't really seem to know he's chewing leather.

In Detroit the police's inability to do anything right is highlighted right here. When they closed the crime lab they left the evidence behind and the building and evidence was ransacked. How do you mount an appeal without evidence?

Mayor Dave Bing said, "I was disappointed to learn the closed crime lab was unsecure, and records and evidence were abandoned," he posted this morning. "This lapse is unfortunate and unfair to crime victims, the wrongly convicted and residents. Once learning of the issue, the building was immediately secured. We are investigating how this was allowed to happen, and are taking the necessary steps to ensure a similar situation does not occur in the future."

Detroit police have been shown to manufacture evidence.

the police are supposed to 'serve and protect' but who are they serving?

1st not all "cops" are bad some state officials are not like this at ALL

2nd this seems to be a growing trend though among the employement of cops that is hiring trigger happy dumbasses with a short attention span and large complex

3rd bottom line is not all are bad or atleast use to be not all are bad but id say for every force theres at least a 40% ratio of dirty bastards in there that will do anyhting to promoted or do anything because there literatly bat shit insane

Someone is bound to come in here and say "Serve and protect is a motto, not an oath!!!!!!!1111oneoneone" so I'll just destroy that point now.

Then why the fuck are we giving them a gun and a badge?

wanna talk oaths anyone remember this one?

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.

I'll just repost that, because as we can see... it is true.

No use arguing with ignorant fools, I won't change the opinion of your diluted minds (all 3 of you), and you won't change my level of respect for the police... also, it's not going against the public, because from the likes and rep I have received on all topics about law enforcement on these forums, it seems the majority agrees that generalizing about the police being all corrupt and all power hungry just makes you look like a complete idiot.

Hell, even if they busted down the door to my growroom, I'd be in hand with a bong and a light just for them...

So, enjoy your negative relationship with the police while many others enjoy a positive experience... I'll tell ya though, nothing like talking to friendly LEOs about your biggest cola's and final weights, and having them laugh WITH you about the stupidity of our drug laws.

A shame you 3 will never get to experience such a thing... as I think it's better to bring our two communities (Cannabis users and LEOs) closer together than to split us apart, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is just one sign that mindsets are changing, and I love getting out there and making steps to help that cause.

Now if you'll excuse me, there's a cop sitting in the market parking lot across from my apartments who I must go take some warm Krispy Kreme donuts to...

go ahead and suck his dick while your at it..................

cops are mostly former bullies (in school,or were bullied as kids) or adrenalinfreaks (or both)


besides, they are just dumb hired brutes, getting mad at them is about as stupid as getting bit by a dog that someone sicced on you and then blaming the dog for it.

lol... this is probably the most ignorant thing I've read today!

I know a lot of hot chicks that are cops... don't think they EVER got bullied in school, they might be adrenaline freaks but we do outdoor activities together like bouldering and rappelling but I don't see that as a bad thing.

And I guess a lot of top criminals are pissed out that such dumb, donkey brained individuals are taken them down and put them in prison for life...

Better yet, I wonder how many of us growers have been outsmarted by these dumbass.. that would make us growers even dumber for getting caught, yeah?


In other words, if I were you, I would've edited my post to not look like such a dumbass.

I'm not a dumbass if I know the consequences of what I do... which I do. I know at any time they could tell their narcotics division, but you know what... I trust that they won't and in the years I've known most of them nothing has happened.

Why? Because they know I don't sell it, they know it's for personal use, and all except for one are members of L.E.A.P...

Yes, I'd befriend any cop as long as they weren't corrupt or dirty, we're all humans and I like to be friendly to most humans, regardless of profession... and like I said, cannabis users need to have a FRIENDLY relationship with police, it serves us both better in the long run once enough minds are changed and makes for some very interesting conversations.


But you can go ahead and have your negative relationship with the cops, while I enjoy the benefits of a positive one.

I'm sure any retard could kick down a door, when they know they basically have diplomatic immunity and their boss has a couple million dollar budget.

It's obvious you grew up in the burbs.

Actually I grew up on a farm in northern Mississippi... Tippah County baby, hell the first plane I flew in was a crop duster with my uncle!

However, I've spent countless hours in the not-so-best of places... that's one of the main reasons for my trouble with law enforcement, hanging around people that do that kind of dirt.

You won't ever figure me out, so please don't try... the suburb comment was just lame.

There is a subspecies of cop called CORRECTIONS OFFICER
I once watched as my celly was beaten down by 8guys as big as bulls because he was resisting. He wasn't resisting. And 50 other guys including myself were trying to explain to the brainless that the poor guy was having a seizure. He was epileptic.

I'm sorry but let's really think about this why the he'll would you hate cops, there only doing there jobs, it's not like there against pot it's the people that pot bring out, look at the (gangsters) people that think they need guns and to kill people over and over and over just over some herbs. Even some of the people on here ever read the posts that some one stole my pot some jacked me or what not then all the reply about get a gun and go fuck them up, that's why cops or like this if some one kicked your ass every day for a year, what would you do about it? Same idea. If people where a little smarter and didn't put weed on this pedistel there wouldn't be all this death over it. I hate people like you that think cops are out to fuck you or some thing, it's like you think they put on there cop outfit and start looking for you. Grow the fuck up and maybe thank a cop for what they do to protect your dumb ass from even dumber people out there. Now that being said I'm not a cop I do know many cops all cool people nice and do an amazing job some thing I could never do, i also do think this is a sad story and feel for the family but it's not that all or even more cops are bad people , please grow the fuck up

Seems nowadays the garda over here are above the law

A SECOND serving garda faces an assault trial next month.
The case -- which involves the Garda Ombudsman Commission (GOC) -- follows the controversy last week over how off-duty garda Dean Foley (25) received a six-month jail term for a vicious assault only to have the sentence altered within 24 hours.
The Foley case was the first time a serving garda was jailed since the GOC was established four years ago.
The two garda cases are totally unrelated and involve different Munster counties.
The second garda vehemently denies the charge which the Sunday Independent has learned is set to come before the Circuit Criminal Court early next month.
Both legal experts and prosecutors have insisted the revised sentence handed down to Dean Foley in Cork last Friday was entirely lawful.
The Bantry-based garda spent just 24 hours in custody after being handed a six-month prison sentence before Cork Circuit Criminal Court last Thursday for a brutal city-centre assault committed while he was off-duty two years before.
The following day his sentence -- 18 months' imprisonment with 12 months suspended -- was revised by Judge Sean O Donnabhain so that all 18 months were suspended.
The sentence was altered after the defence team revealed they had failed to address the court on a key sentencing principle the previous day -- namely, a prison sentence is much tougher for a garda than for others.
The assault victim -- Stephen Gerard Murphy -- suffered a broken nose, two broken cheekbones, several broken teeth as well as bleeding to the brain.
The attack was triggered on September 12, 2009, when Mr Murphy -- who was inebriated -- was walking home and came across Dean Foley, his brother Travis, and a group of friends in Cork city centre.
Mr Murphy heard comments being passed about his clothing. In turn, he said one of Dean Foley's friends was wearing a brightly coloured T-shirt that was "a bit gay".
Judge O Donnabhain said Mr Murphy's intoxicated condition was such that he was clearly a threat to no one but himself. However, the subsequent assault he suffered was so vicious a passing holidaymaker was afraid to even get out of his taxi.
Mr Murphy was left lying unconscious on a city-centre street, and spent two days in Cork University Hospital with bleeding to the brain. Mr Murphy -- who has since made a full recovery -- was not contactable for comment at his Grenagh home yesterday.
Mr Foley has since sold everything he owns to raise €28,000 in compensation -- and offered an apology on Friday for his actions which he described as "one moment of madness that cost me my whole life".
He has resigned from An Garda Siochana with immediate effect. Had he not resigned, he would have faced dismissal proceedings. He has been under suspension for almost two years.
Mr Murphy insisted he held no grudge against the ex-garda for what happened. He previously said: "I bear no ill will. I was only trying to go home that night. I wasn't looking for any trouble. I still cannot remember much. But I don't particularly want to see a prison sentence."
Mr Foley broke down and sobbed when the judge agreed to suspend the remaining portion of his sentence -- meaning he was immediately released from custody. He had admitted to court that being in custody was "terrifying".
His mother collapsed screaming in court last Thursday when her son received a custodial sentence. She subsequently had to receive medical attention.
Judge O Donnabhain was able to change the sentence on Friday because of two key legal principles.
Firstly, the sentence would only have been confirmed if the current sessions of Cork Circuit Criminal Court had concluded. As the sessions were still ongoing the sentence could be revisited by the judge involved.
Secondly, defence counsel Donal O'Sullivan pointed out that the court had not been addressed on a key sentencing issue as outlined in Prof Thomas O'Malley's book on sentencing principles.
Mr O'Sullivan -- who admitted his belated submission was "somewhat unusual" -- said that prison sentences had a greater impact on certain people in society such as foreign nationals, the elderly and the sick, as well as members of An Garda Siochana and the Prison Service.
"It is a far more difficult sentence for him, a garda, than for anyone else," he explained.
He revealed that, in the Midlands Prison, his client would be kept in a special wing, would be segregated from the rest of the prison population for security reasons and would have to spend most of his time in his cell. He would also be subjected to virtually round-the-clock observation.
Judge O Donnabhain was also told that, if he refused the submission, the defence team could not raise it in any appeal process because it had not been raised on Thursday when the initial sentence was imposed. The judge stressed that, had that matter been argued on Thursday, he would most likely have remanded the garda in custody and not imposed a sentence.
"Considering all the matters now raised and particularly in view of the fact that it appears to be agreed by both parties that were I not to listen to Mr O'Sullivan now he might not be able to advance that argument on appeal -- it could be an unfairness," he said.
"We are in a completely different place today than we were yesterday. If a point had to be made then perhaps it has been made," he added.
Mr Foley of Tradean, Knocknasuff, Blarney, Co Cork, wept as he walked free -- and was immediately embraced by his family and girlfriend as he left Cork Courthouse on Washington Street.
His brother Travis, of the same address, has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of assaulting Mr Murphy at the same date and location.
He is scheduled to be sentenced before the Circuit Criminal Court on June 27.
