rohink, what... are you on a single-handed sanctimonius crusade to tell everybody else their opinion doesn''''t count? I''''ll bet your a bitter aging woman....sheesh. Sanctimonius doof. A lot of cops really do have an us against them attitude. Enough that cops in general don''''t garner respect anymore. Now that''''s a problem and police departments know it.

I was married to a cop for 7 years. They are not nice people. They carry an us-against-them mentality. You are either a cop or a "civilian". Civilians are automatically criminals. Most are alcoholics. Like I said, they are not nice people; they are not necessarily honest people.

Your marriage to a cop for 7 years doesn''t prove that cops are not nice people, some are some aren''t, some are alcoholics, some have a cop/civilian attitude. What does that have to do with keeping your mouth shut and not arguing with a cop, sign the ticket and then take it to court. How many cops are murdered each year from criminals that have been pulled over for a traffic violation? How many civilians were murdered by cops that pulled them over for traffic violations? Being married to a police officer for 7 years, you should be a bit more informed.

"And, video on TV of a nightstick beat-down is not good for the career either. Tasers solved a lot of that. Now, they can control a resistor, not kill them, and not much to show on TV either. "

Michael - I have to disagree with you there. The few times I have seen video of someone getting tasered it was horrific! They were screaming and writhing and obviously in as much pain (if not more) as someone being beating.

Hey vet, i never said Bush wasnt a bad guy, but has he done more wrong than any other administration when the wanted something they couldnt get legally? Anyway, i was attempting to stay on point with the post and ask how is police brutality bush''s fault? How is the tiger eating the man at the zoo his fault? How is the immigration issue his fault? How is Stacy Petersons disappearance his fault? how is the fact that muslims decide to kill other muslims by the millions, by blowing themselves up his fault? According to people in these forums, ALL these are directly his fault. I dont get it.

Don''t mess with the law if you can''t take the stun. Great example ,why not to over drink,she probably was going to drive drunk ,kill some kid or baby then claim she remembered nothing ,lets stun her again.

Barbaraf4, yes, exactly. If you disagree, you can gently and politely ask for an explanation. If he refuses, give it up and contest it in court if you wish. You stand almost no chance of changing a cop''s mind on a ticket. But, if you get nasty or confrontational, you stand a very good chance of getting arrested. Play the odds and use common sense. I know some of you think the cops are your enemy. But they aren''t. They truly are here to keep you, your family, and your kids safer. They aren''t here to be your buddy or agree with all you say or think. And they certainly are not hired to be public punching bags for your insults. Treat them well, and you%u2019ll be treated well in return. If not, you deserve every single freekin volt they can throw at you.

Since when does a cop that pulls you over to issue a ticket, also become the judge and insist on you paying the fine then and there? What you sign is not an admission of guilt.

And then every word from their mouths becomes null and void. It''''s like listening to the buzz of a fly that needs to be swatted.
