ahHH! speeding ticket!

I've never had problems with any police or troopers, but game wardens seem to be the real tiny-pricked power mongers. We had a restaurant on a lake, and this guy would stand on the end of our dock with his binocs looking for people breaking the law out on the lake. Needless to say, with him standing there, we got zero business from people who normally dock and come in for food/whatever. Golf carts have been deemed the preferred means of transportation at this one section of the lake, which basically just gives them permission to drive them on the streets. Anyway, this prick finds a golf-cart with two young girls in it, turns on his lights and sirens on his large truck and pulls them over, he had these two girls in tears by the time he was finished yelling.

My dad and uncle were out on jetskis one afternoon, and there's Ranger Matt on his little deck-boat and 5hp engine. He spots my uncle and stops him about 100 yards from the beach, and proceeds with a lecture about no-wake zones within 50 yards of land, etc., all things my uncle (a 30 year vet of the lake) know all about. About this time, my dad comes tearing ass around the pier and gets close enough to splash both my uncle and this clown. Now... matt's boat isn't all that fast, so he tries to kick it into high, but has no chance of catching my dad, so he yells to my uncle (who is laughing hysterically by now), "Go catch him!" To which my uncle replied something to the effect of, "Isn't that your job." Finally, my dad circes back around for a second pass and stops, grinning ridiculously the entire time. My dad can be a facetious dick sometimes, and since we've all dealt with matt before, he really had it going. "Beautiful weather, huh, matt?" "Nice boat ya got there, matt." on and on. I don't think either of them ended up with a ticket.

Man, I've got so many stories about this guy... like the time he called my sweet little 'ol grandma a "biting sow" in front of my grandpa. I swear, fire shot out of his eyes.

We had a dick around here in the late 1960s that thought he was the power incarnate. He even broke the municipal garbage truck drivers balls. He messed with the many municipal workers and once stopped me in a water plant truck and asked for license and registration. The city truck didn't have anything close to a registration or insurance and he knew that.

Anyway the preferred sleep joint was under the water tower for the local PD and nobody gave a $hiit as this place is one of those hidden hick places with everybody knowing everybody for generations. Anyway I catch dick head doing his midnignt-8am snooze during a 15F winter night. I purposely overfill the water tank so it's running over the top blow off vent onto his car. It's raining 500gal/min on his car in immediately freezing water weather. Impossible to run away without being drenched. He's forced to pull up to HQ with the cruiser looking like an ice cube complete with frozen doors etc.

Everybody know what happened to him and it was an ongoing joke among the PD ++ for years.

Stories like Elderly Woman Ticketed For Walking Too Slowly really don't promote support of police ethics.

LOS ANGELES -- An 82-year-old woman has received a $114 ticket for taking too long to cross a street in the San Fernando Valley, Calif.

Mayvis Coyle said she began shuffling with her cane when the light was green, but was unable to make it to the other side before it turned red.

"It turned red before I could get over. There he was, waiting, the motorcycle cop," Coyle told the Los Angeles Daily News. "He said, `You're obstructing the flow of traffic."'

Coyle is only one of seniors at Monte Vista Mobile Estates that are upset over signals they think are too short to safely cross five lanes of traffic, the Daily News reported.

At least one of the seniors reportedly calls a cab just to cross the street.

Coyle told the paper that she has been fighting her ticket. She doesn’t have a vehicle or a telephone, and said she was carrying her groceries home when she got the ticket.

Whatever happened to helping an old lady out ( your Mom ), would think if he wanted to powertrip...walk out in the street and hold up his badge or better yet..throw himself in front of a shopping cart.

"He treated me like a 6-year-old, like I don't know what I'm doing..."

Los Angeles police Sgt. Mike Zaboski...could not comment on Coyle's ticket other than to say that it is her word against that of the citing officer...

Typical.

NY isn't the lib capitol of the US for nothing.

The state's Dem leader has summited more anti-cop bills. One bill will strip away protections concerning misconduct allowing politicians to question them. Another is his support to decriminalize violently resisting arrest. He also wants to assign special prosecutors to police brutality cases. He's sponsored legislation requiring cops to shoot to wound when battling armed felons.

Bonus coupons is that he has been picked by leading canditate for Governor Eliot Spitzer to run along side him for lieutenant governor.
