• Police Discussion (Stories, Complaints, Articles) v. "got anything sharp in your pockets?"
    27 replies, posted
I'm hoping this thread will serve as an informative source of videos, articles, discussions, etc all about the police. It's always good to know what our public servants are up to. This thread is not a debate of anti police vs police supporters. But both sides are welcome to post and discuss videos and police encounters and other police activity. The idea is to build a meaningful and creative dialogue which may educate other users and help us further develop our law enforcement. What are your thoughts on the police, and do you have any police encounters worth sharing? *video on the way*
police broke my dads ribs once after he punched someone who attempted a groom my underage stepsister into sex with him (the pervert was 30+) what happened was my dad saw him in the supermarket, and the guy recognized him and started talking shit about how my sister was gagging for it and all this other shit and then he stepped towards my dad raising his arm and my dad hit him first than immediately backed away and we left the store later on in the night the police show up and my dad goes with them freely with no struggle but then when he got to the cells they threw him against the wall and it cracked his ribs later on in court my dad was found not guilty as the punch was deemed a "pre-emptive strike" as an attempt in self defense.
The county police fucked me over pretty good when I was 18 and naive, thinking I would get a warning for having absolutely no weed on me, instead the asshole of an officer slapped me with a possession and a paraphernalia ticket because I had a couple pipes you can buy at 1/3 stores in this area and some seeds. I was eating Taco Bell in my car not moving. They tried to get me to confess to breaking into houses and cars [B]for the bag full of quarter dollars in my car...[/B] I'm never speaking to an ass of a police officer like that again. He was married to my cunt of an Earth Sciences teacher. No wonder both of them are such tight asses. They were made for each other. Since then, they've been trying to get on my good side by helping me out of a snow berm this winter without even trying to ticket me for something. They just pulled behind my stuck car and asked if I needed help. Which I did. They tried to push me out by hand, but the two officers weren't enough to get me off the curb. A good samaritan in a truck stopped, strapped my car to the back of his truck and pulled me out. I handed him the $19 in my wallet, waved "Thanks!" to the officers and was on my way home. I have a video on my hard drive, with me popping my head by my dashcam and whispering "[I]Thank[/I] the police."
Many years ago, I was walking my dog. He had just taken a shit before we'd left, so I didn't bring any shit bags with me. We're walking across town and down a bunch of streets since he just enjoys the fresh air and wind and smells of everything. Eventually we pass by the Police Department and City Hall (they're right next to one another) and there's a cop car sitting outside with an officer in it on his police computer, probably just putzing about since there's not really much crime in my town. My dog decides to take a shit about 5 feet from the cruiser, right in front of it. I try yanking the leash and yelling, "No boy!", but that doesn't do anything to stop the monstrous shit from being released from his canine anus. Accepting my fate, I release a single manly tear and let him shit in front of this cop car, waiting for my citation. After my dog finishes his poop, the officer steps out of the car. I wave to him out of reflex, since the police have an excellent reputation in my town. The officer waves back and comes over to me, and asks, "Do you need a bag?" A mental sigh of relief rushes over me, and I say, "Yeah, sorry about that. He went right before we left, so I didn't bring any." The officer laughs and pulls a large black trash bag out of his cruiser and hands it to me. "I can hold the leash while you clean up, there's a dumpster right behind the P.D. I won't tell anyone, you look embarrassed enough." he says, with an amused grin on his face. So I hand him the leash, thanking him, and clean up this doggy doo doo that, thankfully, wasn't runny or sloppy - I feed my dog well - and put the bag in the dumpster after tying it off. After this incident, we have small talk for a bit to ease the embarrassment. Soon he gets someone talking to him on the radio, and he has to depart. We say our goodbyes, and go our separate ways. I've not really had any negative experiences with police except for when I was younger and was in trouble often. There's a lot of negative news about police, especially in the media, to portray them as violent killing machines who shoot black people for fun. Police are people too, and the media only reports on the bad officers, instead of the good ones who do their job. There are a few exceptions to this occasionally, which is a good thing.

Here's an encounter I had with the police not too long ago: [video=youtube;yDmqkf-LiTE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDmqkf-LiTE[/video] Started off trying to ask for my private property but turned into a nice conversation. Seems like a nice cop. Saw him give somebody a ticket the other day though lol.
only ever had one encounter with the cops and it was when i crashed my car, the cops checked if i was injured before the ambulance came and were generally very nice [editline]30th March 2015[/editline] although in the police report they said that i was a girl
Never had any negative experiences with police around here. I've been pulled over a number of times, although it always goes pleasantly. The first time they just ended up asking what I was up to that evening, and just to let me know they would be doing spot checks over the next few nights in the area. Second time was by the traffic police, who pulled me over due to my brake lights having stopped working. They told me to make sure I got home safe and to get new lights before heading out again, before then having a conversation about what I was looking to do with my career. Other than that, just casual conversations with a few of the police that used to frequent the area nightly, all very nice people around here.
One time some creep PCSO followed me a mile through town nearly to my house and I've known some other PCSO's who think they can boss people around But the actual Police are great
I've never really had any bad or great experiences with the police in my area. I've never been pulled over, received a ticket, or had any resemblance of hassles out of them. They're pretty quick to respond to most basic issues and pleasant doing routine things such as directing traffic and checking in on disturbances. Now for a random question for the officers out there on FP: How do you guys get your general day-to-day assignments? Are you assigned just a general district to patrol each day like I do in a service-related field, or is it more of a 'Oh, I feel like patrolling X district or watching Y road for speeders and other violations'?
Never had an issue. I deal with them on a pretty regular basis too.
my friend had ingested some marijuana butter the night before we decided to go for a drive in the country side. We passed a random breath test stop that was on the other side of the road and it sparked the conversation of drug tests. We were discussing how it can be detected and that they don't do it at RBTs. A little down the road we got stopped at an RBT. The first officer checked my mates breath and said he was good to go, but then this female officer came up laughing and grabbed his license and told him to pull aside from the queue. Then she asked: "have you ever done a drug test before?" then we sat as the driver was freaking out thinking his life was over, I was sitting in the back trying to contain myself. Test came back negative but it was still really funny.
Just walked past an officer with his lights on, he wasny responding to any emergency as far as i could tell so i took a picture of his license plate. He hoped out the car quickly asking ehy i took a picture. After i explained that i did it just because i am allowed to, we had a brief friendly chat about politics and police. He said he's resigning soon because he doesn't want to be a police officer, he wants to be a conductor
i guess the only "negative" experience i've had with a police officer, now that i think about it, was when i was about 19 or 20. i was walking home from work at about 9:00pm having a cigarette and a cop stopped me and asked for my ID. no problem on my end and he simply looked at my birth date, but he said i looked young and recommended i grow a beard :v:
In Sydney the highway patrol police randomly decided to hand out $67 fines for j-walkers in the CBD. They always show up and do it and they need to be stopped. Enforcing petty crime is just a complete waste of tax payers money. The highway patrol cops in NSW are generally nasty people too and give the rest of the force a bad name.
another semi-story I've heard from my friends dad (a highway patrolman down here in christchurch, nz) that a lot of the police force here is corrupt as in, if they ever bust anyone for possession of drugs (especially weed), 90% of it never makes it back to the evidence lockers. kinda funny, really.

Most places at least in the US drug test and polygraph the shit out of cops. As a heads up, I'm not saying polygraphs are the eternal eye of God - they're not, I've taken them. Anyways, I've been recently hired at an agency as a police and fire dispatcher. Been working for about three weeks and today I had my first death on one of my shifts. Definitely sends you home with a different outlook on things, it's a mix of sadness and thankfulness and some weird joy that feels like it shouldn't be there but is. We gave the caller CPR instructions, and because of that the EMT's were able to reestablish a pulse, but the subject ended up dieing after. I do commend the caller for staying as calm as I was though. It was a medic call obviously so I know it's not 100% related to the thread topic (the police did respond to that call if it really matters that much), but shit happens. Just felt like sharing.
I've never really had any problems with the police, although there are worse places to live than where I do, most officers around here are busy doing drug busts, or something like that.
I was shooting a pellet gun in my backyard one day when the neighbors a few doors down were having a party with a bunch of loud ass teens and trashy music playing, they called the cops on me when someone must have seen me and I had a tactical response team come to my house. In short they were pissy and didn't take anything from me but they told me if they saw me walking around the front yard with it they might shoot me, then left. Also, I live on a farm. I try to avoid them from now on seeing as they just look for a reason to start interrogating people if they're bored.
I really have no complaints about the local PD. Never really interacted with them outside the context of a traffic stop or accident, though. Last year some dude held up a guy in a parking lot and took off on foot into our neighborhood. The cops weren't too far behind. In the process of running, he decided to jump the six foot wooden fence around our backyard. He scared the living shit out of my mom, who was chilling in a lounge chair on the deck. She ran inside and called the cops, and he wandered around for a few seconds before climbing the fence again. Apparently, he got caught in the chicken wire surrounding my neighbor's garden, and was completely exhausted when they caught him. The cops had guns out and were screaming at him, but I don't think they had to taze or pepper spray the guy. He had been running for a [I]long[/I] time. They sat him on the curb out front for a while, and a detective or supervisor came and spoke with him briefly. He had ditched a gun along the way that turned out to be fake. The cops chatted with us and some of our neighbors, loaded him up and went on their way. The whole thing seemed about as reasonable as police work gets. Granted, I'm a white dude and this is a very white college town in Indiana. Our crime rate is extremely average, and we barely get one or two murders in a year. I can't remember the last time I saw any kind of police misconduct allegation in the local news, from the municipal PD or the campus PD. For most intents and purposes, my city is probably as good as it gets where police are concerned. Maybe it looks different for the black folks here.
Last week there was a big ol crash that shut down the highway and a couple deputies were going down the line of backed up cars telling them how to get around the crashident. I don't know the last time I talked to a cop before that.

[/QUOTE] I mean it's not a researched statistic or anything, just like an observed occurrence witnessed by one man. that's probably more like the lower level cops, not like super high ranking police members or anything, anyways. I'm not really sure how they get away with it in nz, as I don't really know anything about the inner workings of the force.
Only time I've really had a long chat with some officers was when the local PD tried establishing a youth-council for better communication with all the kids etc. in our town. Five other people showed up besides me, of which two were my classmates so sadly the council thing never took off. Even though this we had a blast chatting with cops, half of 'em were patrol officers, one was the district captain/commander (I dunno the English word) and another dude was a narcotics officer who where the only cop in the room with a casual outfit (his badge hanging around his neck). They gave us a tour of the station before two civ-cops drove me and my classmates home in a unmarked Volvo.
I've had 2 experiences with the police: 1. When I was a baby, I had a really bad case of colic. One night, I cried way more than usual and the neighbor called the police. The neighbor hated my parents because she didn't believe in colic and was convinced that the reason I cried so often was because I was being abused. So this idiot calls the Israeli police saying that a baby's being tortured and an officer turned up at the door. My dad lets him in and the police officer looks around and decides that there is no evidence of abuse. He then left. 2. I was filming a little movie with unloaded and cleared airsoft guns near Boston right after the bombing of the Marathon. We were filming in the parking garage of my friend's house and he promised me that he got permission from the building manager. Long story short, he didn't and some old woman called the police saying that we were shooting cars with airsoft guns. I got a lecturing from the police and was driven home.
When I was 15 I bought a Lee Enfield (fuck the law) and carried it home in the open because I didn't have a car. An officer stopped me and said it was a nice gun, showed me a picture of his own (:wink:) and then offered me a ride home so someone in the residential area wouldn't get jumpy and plug me. My next encounter with the same town's police department was two years later, exploring some of the empty buildings in the town's historic district, I was stopped, treated like I'd just been caught kicking a dog and made to perform a sobriety test even though I was totally sober. In general I like and respect cops but I can't help but feel like there's a lot of jerk cops around.
The only personal experiences I had with the police was with my mom while she was a road patrol officer. I got a lot of fun stories out of her as well as free candy cigarettes, and a fuck-ton of doughnuts. Unfortunately her career was cut short when she started getting sexually harassed by her co-workers which lead to her winning a court case against them over it.

Because of that, cops are very serious about people trespassing in abandoned buildings.
