Topic | What experiences with cops have you had? |
Alex1976 06/07/20 9:18:05 AM #33 | Got pulled over a few times (twice for running a red light, 3 times for speeding). Cops got involved in a couple of wrecks I was in - got a ticket for one of them (following too closely). Cops came over to my house when my folks wanted to file a report regarding a stolen laptop. Before they arrived, my mom called a (now ex) friend of my brother's and somebody else who was here when the laptop was discovered missing. Reason why I said ex-friend of my brother's was because he was the one who took it - I suspected he did when Mom let him know the cops would be coming by just to get a statement, and he issued a vehement denial he took it. He was caught red-handed with it about a month and a half later - his parents and my parents struck a deal so he wouldn't have charges pressed (lucky him, if it was up to me, it would've been "Book him, Danno"). Cops came over to my workplace once when a homeless bum showed up (probably drunk or strung out, I don't know) and was a real nuisance - they took that loudmouth, slapped on the cuffs, and got him out of there. In all cases, they were polite and professional - one of those times I got pulled over, they cut me some slack when I admitted I was going too fast, keep up the good work. --- When ancient man screamed and beat on the ground with sticks, they called it WITCHCRAFT.
