Cops trully suck sometimes!

Just a small vent. I start my ride home down a tiny street which might be 15 feet long that leads to the main road. I've done this a thousand times. It's a one way street but is usually more populated by peds than cars. Just as I start riding when a cop car pulls me over to tell me that it's a one way street and I should be more careful (it's midnight and there is no one around) I said I was sorry and I didn't realise it was a problem, he then proceeds to tell me that I am not respecting the law and unbuckles his seat belt to get out of the car because I am being aggressive! I wasn't being aggressive in any way! WTF! This happens with police all over the planet! I cant fucking stand it! I hate those bastards sometimes! Find something else to do, I did nothing but ride 15 feet down a deserted alley! It really pisses me off, one day I will end up in jail because I will just lose my shit. Why do cops have to be such knob ends sometimes. I just don't get it!?

Yep, they can be cunts.

yea i get stopped all the time and if i ever try to explain myself they always try to make an example of me until they realise i've done fuck all wrong and fuck off

you weren't wearing your christmas jumper at the time where you? you deserve to be cautioned by the fashion police for that particular heinous crime…

damn mexicans!

Why you ruining my buzz man, damn those pigs…

What happened after he unbuckled his seatbelt? Maybe he was only doing because he had too much Thai for tea

haha, I decided I would like one of those big Guinness cutouts that they attach to lamp posts during paddy's day so I took it off and hailed a cab to go home got in the cab and a cop car stopped in front of the cab, cop got out and opened my door and said "Give.." ..being pissed I said "get your own!" as you can guess he didn't see the funny side and asked if I was being fucking cheeky then snatched the cutout and slammed the door, I had a chuckle watching him march back to his car with a comedy sized pint glass.

the petty crime squad in full force

Rolled off Old Kent Road about three weeks ago onto the pavement (to dodge three lanes of impatient motorists) and leapt off and started walking, it was behind the main entrance to tescos and if anyone knows that area its a massive paved area.... anyway, noone around but a bunch of numpty community support officers.... I walk 40 yards towards them and one potatoe headed cnut says 'can I have a word with you'.... he was a complete numpty so I lost it with him.... he gets his anti terrosism search sheet thingy out, his hand was shaking like crazy so I layed it on some more..... two yoooves turn up and start giving it 'wot the fnck iz e stoppin ya for?' and proceeded to call him a cnut as well whilst spitting on the floor in front of him.... anyway, eventually he explained how lucky I was to not go to court to explain it to a judge (explain what exactly???), he wished me a pleasant day, I called him a cnut and cycled off in from of him :)

Not as funny as Haels but....

Power corrupts- even the "power-lite" version that PCO's have.

If you have power over others and do not exercise it how will anyone know that you have it?
So they try to throw their weight around (insofar as this is possible) to justify to themselves that what they are doing is worth it.

it's all about moving the goalposts.

it was the same when I did security at festivals, if there was loads of action (pulling people out of crowds when they fainted, keeping nutters away from the stage etc..) you'd have your hands full.

when it was quiet, they'd make you do petty shit like check passes, and tell people where they could or couldn't stand to take photographs (things you wouldn't have time or the inclination to do when it was busy)

same with coppers, except they don't have the same excuse, there's always more serious crime going on, they just don't want to get involved with it. bunch of cowards.

nosferatu and I were in a tunnel near vauxhall tuning up something or other on my bike when a community support officer cam and started hassling us. when we asked why, he started talking all this jibberish and gobbledeegook in his thick african accent. he asked me if i was known to the police which i am when i told him it was because of "fraud" he got really funny and didn't believe us and started name checking us.

police pull over anyone they want when they get bored, just because they can.
tthis guy had a pretty good idea as to what to do

can you dig it?

In NYC the police dept's moto is CPR. Courtesy, Respect & Professionalism. It's written on the side of every police vehicle. I've only seen it once and that was during 9/11. I almost liked them at that point one year later it was the same old shit. In NYC I always felt the cops were just thugs that never got caught, so they just joined the police force and now they get to do what they want and get away it.

the only way to keep the cops in check is to give every citizen a hand gun.

"Power-lite", I fucking love that. Nicely done Mr.Dammit.

I've never understood cop hate from the mass populace (sp?). Sure occasions of misuse of force can irk, but really how often are the police giving you grief? I've never had any involvement with any police, surely it's a small percentage of the people very rarely. So by that thinking only criminals should have any real reason to hate cops, and thats fine because we all hate criminals right?

And petty crime and more important things. All crimes need policing. If the petty crimes don't get policed due to more important crime, then with no penalty or deterent the petty crimes ceace to be crime, like bicycle theft.

imMe you must have had a sheltered life.

do you live in a small village, in the 1950s?

Dunno. Never been aware of any guarian following me keeping real life from getting at me.

London last 6 years. Bournemouth 1 year, Plymouth 3.5 years, some shit hole farmers town in somerset that was the most depressing place on earth 1.5 years, village near Wolverhampton 15 years, village near Stoke 4 years.

Never in the 1950s.

do you follow any organized religion?

I don't know anyone who hasn't had undeserved grief and aggression from the plod, and this includes 'good clean middle class' types like my parents.
In fact I'd like to know what percentage of the 'average joe's' contact with them has been deserving of verbal abuse and sanctimony from a lippy uniformed thug.
A lot of people dislike the police cos they feel they ought to (which is sad), but a lot truly dislike them because of their attitude and behaviour towards people who really are not harming anyone.

Sorry didn't mean to get all anti-police, just countering that earlier point by +imMe
