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 ............................

Ok, so if it is a privilage, why the harsh punishment for no registration when the DMV says you can drive while it is in the mail? And what does TimT have to say, does he think he should have had his trailer impounded?

Fair is fair, and it sure don't look like a fellow 914'er was treated fair, an impounded car for a check in the system is not right. (an illegal alien would have been set free with no problem, happens all the time, their excuse (and it works) is 'I am illegal, hence I can't have a license") so they let them go. Go figure.

If I were to miss a house payment the fine would be less than what this poor guy has to pay in fees and fines, not to mention his time. it ain't right, bottom line. He should have gotten a ticket, to be dismissed upon proof of payment.

It a bad law when good folks are caught up in it. Since property is seized before due process is carried out, he is being punished before he has his day in court (the day without the car can not be given back, it is gone) This is a violation of our rights. When cops sieze property (a common applied tactic agianst drug king pins) before trial, due process and presumption of innocense is gone, these are important fundimental Rights. believe it or not, cops have wrongly siezed property kept it for years, awaiting a trail, and then the wrongly accused person wins in court and then has to fight to get his or her property back. of course the years that went by with the loss of that property can not be returned. This is a legal trend that got it roots in either the war on drugs (siezing drug assets before trail/without trial) and the trend by cities to denie the right to a trail for tickects,a nd dispense with due process for a systyem of administrative law, inwhich you face no jury, and have a"judge' that works for the City, not only that they cities now have the un-Constitutional right in california to make you pay for the ticket before the final level of appeal before a real judge, so Due Process is out ther window with property seizure tactics. This is a disturbing trend of the last 40-50 years or so. it would have been unheard of in America back when the Consitituion and Bill of Rights meant more.

Our dear fellow 914'er should have had his day in court beofre his car was siezed, and the cops better get intune to the DMV rule that yo can drive while the check is in the mail. Seems to me that is an automatic out for impounding any car for this infraction ,and the cops need to reconnize it. While impounding his car, maybe that cop could have been fighting some real crimes???

Anyway Tim T, should your trailer been impounded or not?, and if not, why, what would be the difference between the two cases? if you think you should have had it impounded, why did you not insist it be?

Just leave???? So much for a discussion.

Or do we just say checkmate?
