i hate cops- period Options

[lincoln]

driving home from getting dinner,in my dodge shadow, bout 20 feet from my driveway and bike cops pull me over because third , auxilliary , brakelight is out. first they zoomed up on me and acted like they were going to pass on both sides- like some little gangbangers are doin these days ( no way to tell its a cop bike in the rearview ) then pull me over just to let me know the brake lights out.then he figures he may as well run my id while hes at it- turns out the $135.00 i just paid DMV hasnt cleared and they get back im driving on suspended license. no idea how it works in other areas but here this is a officer discretion call. so the prick has my car towed , says its just for overnight and you can get it out in mornin, oh yeah , plus youll have to pay a $400.00 fee. screw that only paid that much for the whole car and the trans is going out on it anyways ( no 3rd or reverse)

on my street alone in last 5 days ive seen about 12-15 people getting pulled over for no reason or for minimal reasons - all by the motorcycle cops in this police district

what REALLY pissed me off tho is them acting agressive while riding behind me, acting like they were gonna buzz past me on both sides , THEN pulling me over for a fix it ticket and instead of just doing what he said he was doing , which was in his words " i just pulled you over to let you know your third brake light was out so you could get it fixed" he pulls this shit ..ok mad rant off now heheh


so basically tomorrow or friday im filing a complaint against the officer, the police dept and possibly the city as well because all 3 are inter-involved in this type of action, which constitutes harassment by the police dept.

basically im going after this pissants badge, would love to meet up with this little POS in a dark alley sometime ............................

I probably shouldn’t do this but here I go….

24603 VC (brakes lights two on every vehicle, 3 after 87)

Quotas are unlawful, and in 17 years I've never seen them. Motor Officers eat their young, and many say if you stop them you write them. Patrol Officers use minor equipment offenses as probable cause to look for bigger offenses. Last year I located a murder suspect and a carload of guys who had abducted, raped and beat a girl repeatedly. They were looking for a place to dump her. Both were from simple traffic stops.

Driving on a suspended license is a misdemeanor, similar to DUI. Some counties book violators into custody and some release on promise to appear. I don't know your county, but it's probably not a traffic citation, meaning you will have to appear in court and you can get a public defender to help you with your defense. Driving on a suspended license is similar to contempt of court only in this case it’s contempt of DMV. You should have been served with notice of the suspension. Notice can be in writing (with a return to DMV), and/or personal notice from a Judge, DMV or police officer. When your license was run in the computer, your DMV record states whether DMV has proof of service on file.

You can request a hearing to contest the tow on your vehicle. If you received a piece of paper showing where your vehicle was towed the information should be on the back. The hearing officer can only look at the legality of the tow. Many agencies have written policies requiring tows on unlicensed/suspended drivers. It only took one suspended driver getting back in his car and killing a family. The agency got sued, and there goes the discretion.

The issuing agencies receive a relatively small portion of traffic fines, and from my perspective they are not revenue generating. Parking tickets (if the offense is a muni code) have a much higher percentage. My agency issues about 5 warnings to every citation.

Please don’t shoot the messenger. I’m sorry you have to go through this. I wrote my first ticket of the year tonight and hated every minute, but a red light is a red light. Good luck.

If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me, but I work on 914’s to get away from being called a nazi.
