Cops Above The Law
« on: September 26, 2007, 08:33:08 AM »
Here is a website where cops shame other cops for giving cops tickets. Twilight Zone material. Everybody knows that some cops feel they are above the law and there is one set of rules for them, another for the rest of us, but this is blatant.

OBTW, they have a forum.

It's good to see that some LEO's don't think their brethren are above the law. I just have to wonder how many lies are told in their writeup of the incidents.

to the honest ones!

Maybe after visiting this site and reading how much it really does affect other officers, you may think twice about giving that ticket.

It's ONLY A TICKET!  We're positive that there is someone more deserving of your attention than your own brother or sister.

I've read quite a few of the stories on that site now and they all read the same:

Some copper tries to talk his way out of a ticket after doing something stupid.
Copper giving the ticket has none of it.
Copper who got ticket desides to have a whinge about it in as supercilious a way as possible.


I bet most of the crowd on that website think of themselves as class acts.

I read their forum rules and found these two kinda funny:

Quote
10. Be civilized. No gratuitous personal attacks, insults, or flaming.
11. No trolling. No posts with the intent to incite, create negative atmosphere, bring about bad feelings, or insult.


Seems like the whole point of the site is to flame, incite, harass, or bring about bad feelings.  

Professional courtesy, what a bunch of pompous arses. :mad:

Where are all the forum cops at to justify this?  Usually they're quick to throw in the "there's two sides to every story" and "cops have it tough and deserve to get a break" speech...

I'd like to hear Cav58d's opinion.  We don't always see eye to eye on police matters, but I respect that he feels strongly about these things and look forward to his perspective.

Although you and Cav often don't agree, you're nevertheless very eager to hear Cav's opinion on this matter, and can't wait for him to weigh in.

Wow, that's amazing... cops blatently breaking the LAW and getting cited for it and whining on a website about it. Better yet, actually including other officers names and even badge numbers.  If the creator of this site is still serving he or she should be shown the door with pink slip in hand...

Where I come from if you gave another copper a ticket you'd be treated like you had the Bubonic plague. But..I work the big city ghetto.

                         Ive never hurt another copper , or their family, and Ive been one for more  years then many of you have on earth.

                        Long enough to be able to retire any time I want. And long enough to not care what anyone thinks about it.

                       Boy, these Internet "cop threads" are just precious.:lol
