Would you be a cop?

[marksiwel]

Man i couldnt be a cop, nothing against them. It's just I would be the worst cop.

I wouldnt give people tickets like half the time, unless it was like some kid going 40 in a school zone, then I would beat him. I coulndt inforce a curfew, because we all know city curfews are bullsh*t. I would arrest Drunk Drivers like a Mother F*cker though. I couldnt put a guy away for like being in possion of marijunna (unless he was smoking it and driving.) I would also take turns sleeping with my partner, you know "you stay up so that anyone calls you wake me up and vice versa"

Any cops on the message board? ANy future cops?

[THX1138]

I think I would be good as a cop. Only because maybe then I would stop getting so many traffic tickets. I once got pulled over cause I passed a cop twice. I had to turn around to get my fiancee's purse so he followed me through town and then back out again to pull me over. He ended up giving me two tickets and impounding my car. I know how bout we share stories of being pulled over. I am sure there have to be a few doosies out there.

[Razorback]

I had a brainfart in Jacksonville, Florida (driving home to NJ from Daytona). I was cruising at a good 115 mph (with 2 of my cousins asleep in the back seat and one of my cousins resting in the passenger seat) when I saw a Mustang in front of me... I flashed my headlights a few times and it moved over.

Then it pulled me over.

Thankfully, the officer was too surprised to figure out how fast I was going so she gave me a ticket for illegal use of headlights.

If I ever was a cop, I'd be like the cops in "Police Academy" and in "Super Troopers."

If I were a cop I would have one of those little TVs for when I am sitting in the side of the road.

Hey I never thought I would become a high school teacher, but I could see becoming a cop- even though it's a thankless job. Everyone hates the cops (they say) but who is the first person you call when you're in trouble?

But i'm not gonna be a cop so who cares cause me and my lil bro are just gonna be a couple of little stoners who don't respect cops.....unless they have guns and [censored]. Word Bitch!

I believe the word you were looking for was: WERD.

[Dr3vil]

This may be an example of "negative responsibilty," but the only reason I might become a cop is that the position would most likely be filled by assholes otherwise, since the average cop, in my experience, is an @$$hole.

But I'm gonna be a lawyer, so one less @$$hole either way /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I was a cop- for two years while in the Navy. I was stationed in Naples, Italy, '92-'94. We called ourselves the Naples Highway Patrol because that was all we did- we drove around for twelve hours a night, having drag races with Italian cops, and then hitting the bar at six a.m.- there is nothing like an ice cold Heinekin Draft and an Italian sunrise... I only used my cuffs once and I never drew down on anyone. I thought I was going to one night- a drunken SEAL came after me when my jackass of a partner shined a flashlight in his face and told him the party was over. That was the only time I was scared and it was only a split second- the dude tripped over a parking rail and broke his nose and his pride- his buddies couldn't stop laughing at him. But the funniest times were busting Marines getting it on with transvestites. Part of our port briefing when the ships came in was "If the hooker is butt-ugly, she's good to go. If she's drop dead gorgeous, she's better hung than you are" Of course, no one listened and they got a nice surprise... And there were perks- we got a tour of the colosium in Pozzuoli at 2 o'clock in the morning- more people fought there than in Rome as Pozzouli was a holiday destinationfor the elite back in the day.
I could go on and on, but I'll just say it was some of the best times of my life. But I would NEVER be a cop here in the States. I don't like getting shot at.

[ratm1966]

I am a cop in the Air Force and have been for the last 18 years. I haven't been shot at though, since probably around 87-89 when I was in the Philippines. While there, I was shot at with a bow and arrow, and with a various assortment of handguns and assault rifles. I was also in a bus that almost ran into an explosive device buried in the road.

Well, now you know two more that have been shot at. Let me clarify and focus my statement- I would NEVER be a cop ANYWHERE again because I don't like getting shot at. It ain't fun, especially when you can't shoot back. Because of the SOFA (status of forces aggreement) with Italy, the only time we were allowed to carry firearms off base were when escorting funds in excess of $20,000 or munitions. This time, we weren't doing either. We were in the wrong place at the wrong time and drove into the middle of an extremely rare shoot-out in Pinetemare.

Additionally, here's a good bit of advice- stay indoors when in Italy during World Cup Finals.

[phit_demon]

Interesting thread, thanks lurker!

You mean the final of the '94 World Cup - Italy vs. Brazil? (there would have been killings that night, even though it was played in the US)

Or do you mean you were there for Italia '90?

[JK]

Wow! Talk about a blast from the past-

Yeah, the '94 World Cup. Fucking insane. They once asked me if I wanted volunteer to work security for a soccer game at the stadium in Naples...

I told them there wasn't enough money in the world. I'm crazy, but I ain't stupid.

If I haven't seen it, its new to me! Wow, the '94 Cup, I was there at Giants Stadium for an opening round Mexico vs. Bulgaria. Ended in a shoot-out. Never again have I witnessed that much energy in a stadium. I'm not a huge soccer fan when it comes to TV, but seeing the games in person, its a whole different experience.

..........I think you and my uncle would get along just fine. *just saying*
One time driving home from North Carolina me and my dad were taking turns driving so when it was his turn I went to sleep next thing I know I'm waking up to a state patrol officer right in my face saying "BOY you stoned or sometin?" My dad told him the situation and of course my dad has the long hippy hair with the bushy beard so he looks like an obvious dealer so in a cops view we were smuggling something. But my dad explained and he let us go with a ticket of going over the speed limit of 40 by going 42. Cops are just dandy. :rolleyes:

I never gave anyone the business unless they were asking for it. Like the guy that made the mistake of poking me in the chest after I politely asked him to go up to his hotel room and sleep off the booze. Or the SO that screwed me out of $500. That asshat never knew what hit him... (Hehe, don't fuck over the guy who runs the Motor Vehicle Registration office ;) )

No, I was the kind of cop that would've rather given a warning and a ride home as opposed to knocking heads or giving people a ration of shit for no other reason than wanting to. So if that's what your uncle is like, then cool...

Those were good times, but I wouldn't want to relive them.

[Cuclean]

Never.. Law enforcement maybe but not a regular cop.
I want to let this out since it just happened 10 minutes ago.
I was having a couple of drinks with some friends at a bar and so when we finished I walked over to the subway. As I came downstairs I saw my train was just rolling into the station. I had no metro card so I just left 2$ with the clerk and said "open the gate for me." He said "no buy a ride." By the time I would've gotten that stupid card the train would've been long gone so I'm thinking fuck that I don't feel like waiting for another train. I left the 2 bucks with him and said sorry and jumped the turnstile. In mid-jump I looked forward and saw a police officer. I walked into the train but I had this feeling like damn this guy is going to fuck with me.. So that HE DID. After a minute he walks over to me and asks for my Id. He says "you jumped the turnstile?" I said yes but I left the man 2$, I paid my fare I just didn't want to miss the train. He made me get off on the next stop and at first grilled me asking me if I'd ever been locked up or have any outstanding tickets along with do you have anything on you your not supposed to have? I said nope. so He checked me and wrote me a ticket saying "hey I could've locked you up for this, your lucky I'm giving you a ticket." Jail for that shit?? Incredible.
So, despite paying the fare I still get a nonsense ticket. That ride cost me 70$ The violation says and I quote "jumped the turnstile to avoid payment of fare."
Who avoided paying the fare jerkoff? He also said that he wasn't going to bother me but the 2 subway cleaners pointed to him and then to me signaling him that I did something wrong.
Fuck those hoes and fuck that cop.
Is that what you became an officer for to ticket people? Is that the culmination of your career?
It's too bad you'll get 7 years for hitting a cop because I would've loved to scrap with that asshole. Anywho he can keep writing those tickets and those snitches can keep mopping the floor I walk on.

Hate to point out the obvious but you broke the law because you were too lazy to wait on another train. Weather you like it or not that decision was weighted with the possibility of reprocussions. It happened. It's unfortunate I have to say but it's what a law officer is supposed to do.

And your point of wanting to hit him? I understand maybe your just venting because you're angry but they were doing their job, one that as this thread shows a lot of us wouldn't do. I understand that there are bad apples and all that jazz, but what it sounds like is that the officer performed well within his rights and responsibilities.

You seem very angry about this and fair enough, maybe the few beers made you feel that way but demeaning someone like "fuck that cop" seems a bit bad. It wasn't like he took you down the station and beat you with a baton wrapped in a towel.

A cop can arrest you for any conduct he thinks to be disorderly. He can also detain you legally for up to 24 hours for no reason what so ever. And there is nothing you can do about it. I would be very careful. And if you really piss off a cop, he can have the FBI detain you for as long as 48 hours more, again for no reason more than to question you about your conduct.

Disorderly conduct. Interference with official acts. Theft. (Yes, theft. You didn't follow the proper protocol to purchase the goods and services...therefore...theft. It's a stretch...but stretches are good. They keep douchebags in jail.)

Whatever the case I paid the fare so you can't say I broke the law. I should have never mentioned anything hence the comment is gone.
If you go into a store wishing to purchase a candy bar, but don't feel like you should have to wait in line with everyone else, so you leave a dollar on their counter, they are still within their rights to call the police and have you arrested.
