who is gonna post in a thread with such a biased title?
people who share bad experiences? or people who got helped and will expect negs for not going along with the misc e-thug mentality?
you're basing the actions of ALL cops...off of what, 30-40 bad stories?
the average city cops talks to 30-40 people per DAY....yet you think 30 bad stories is representative of ALL cops?

It's really a department by department thing, and even then it's still a cop by cop thing. There are police forces where the culture is totally corrupt, and then there are some that are generally respectable. Just because the force in Timbuktoo is overrun with power hungry bullies doesn't mean that the force in Timbukthree will be.
But there are police forces that will not hire people who score too highly on IQ tests: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...5AC0A96F958260
And the occupation does tend to draw power hungy people into it.
It also draws in people with holier than thou attitudes.
Even so, the story sounds far fetched, and your cousin should have attempted to get names and badge numbers and names of the paramedics as witnesses.
As far as all of the improper searches, where they threaten to call the K9s... let them call the K9s.. they will most likely go sit in their car for 20 minutes and come out and give you your ticket..

I feel like the majority of cops forget what their true job description is. The gun and badge go to their head and they forget they SERVE me and the people.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

I get attitude from coppers all the time. (As a side note, do you know why I call them copper? It's because I can't get any change out of them. )
Last April I went for a run in the morning. I didn't get far from my home when a car pulls up behind me and sounds its horn. A copper gets out and asks me what I'm doing, who I am, where I live, and why I'm wearing a stocking cap & gloves & sunglass (duh! It's barely spring!). After a pointless conversation, he releases me and I continue my run. Not ten minutes later, I am met in the street by TWO coppers, looking for someone wearing a dark hat and gloves. I tell them I've already been asked, but they demand I repeat the information. Then they check me for weapons and drugs. One manlet gets in my face and tells me I need to go home, then speeds out of there. As soon as I get home, these same copper cars pass me and stop on sight. I expected more harassment but they were stopping for a squirrel crossing the road. I haven't run outdoors since.The thing I like least about the treadmill is that I can't run from my farts. -- Source unknown

proper authority? what? thats the autority. u wont let me search the car and if i have a strong reason to believe theres somthing in there i want to find it.
what authority? by the power invested in me by the city.
you cant leave because I said so. not trying to be a dick but if u have nothing to hide let me search the car and thats it.
No, officers dont fuk up your lifes. if u have cds or weapons, or are drunk we didnt put them there or make u live that. you got caught and therefore have no one to blame except yourself.its gains o clock.
