Sorry, your post really pissed me off. First the whole "stupid cops" thing irks me. You make it seem as officers are the enemy. When someone steals your precious 93 who you gonna call, "Stupid cops."

Yep, and who's not gonna give a rats ***? The cops. Who are you gonna call when your car gets vandalized? The cops. Guess who doesn't care. The cops. Who are you going to call when you don't get your part you ordered 3 months ago, and paid in advance $2000?
Excessive Motorsports. Guess who doesn't care?
Excessive Motorsports, lol. People who whine about the cops helping you (sometimes) when you need them to need to get it out of their head that the cop is doing you a favor.
He's doing his job. I don't need a "golly gee wiz you're great, Kell" every time I do my job. Why does a cop feel that he deserves it?
Sorry, but the misguided belief that everything is hunky dorey and all ends up as it should when dealing with the cops is kindergarden thinking. You have to do whatever you can to get out of any ticket you get. You're right,
blwn93 made people believe officers are not to be trusted. I have breaking news for you, in many cases, they aren't. You need to fight every ticket you get. Make it a waste of the state's time to give out tickets. That is the only way to make sure viable tickets are being handed out, and the BS ones don't. If an officer knows he's gonna get his *** chewed for giving a ticket out when he shouldn't have, he'll stick to giving out tickets when people really deserve them.
To throw a little fuel on the fire, as a general rule, police officers aren't the cream of the crop. A man was recently denied a job as a police officer because he was "too smart." That's right, he tested too high on their evaluation. The man took it to court under an anti-discrimination suit and lost. The final ruling basically said nobody that smart would stay a cop for long.
