How do you feel about the police....?

Question

in your community...here in TN. they can be real D**** and they like to harrass people. They have no repect for the public...how about where you live....

Answer 1

In his song "Hurricane" Bob Dylan sings, "In Paterson that's just the way things go / If you're black, you just don't show up on the street / Unless you want to draw the heat."

I'm not black, and I don't live in Paterson, so I can't say for sure how much things have changed since 1975, when Bob Dylan released "Hurricane." If you encounter the police in NJ, as long as you don't have any warrants, you will go free and relatively unmolested. The police needs to be very pro-active here in NJ, because there are muslim terrorists everywhere you look.

Answer 2

I have a family member that is a police officer. Now, that being said, I can say that through the police training, much like the training of the marines, army, etc.. personalities and characteristics seem to be changed to a certain degree.
I think most cops train to have a hard core around them, to 'have each other's backs', so to speak. They feel more of a bond with other officers often than their own family, because their fellow officers understand more about them.

I understand what you mean, though, and I'm trying to lead up to it. Some cops lose all image of what it means to be a regular citizen, a regular person that has to work for a living and suffer through the boss and trying to walk that fine line. Cops can walk a blurry line, such as speeding when they feel like it, because they feel like they have more life and death issues to worry about.

So it's not all black and white, but the good cops keep more of a personal touch when dealing with other citizens, while the cops of a lower mentality don't know how to categorize things and keep them at a good balance.

Answer 3

LOL We have a one cop town & he isn't around that much anyway. When he does make an appearance he punces about with his gun all big hanging from his belt. Truth is if there was a real crime here we'd be in trouble because he is not here doing his job. So we all have no respect for him.
PS He will go to the trouble of harrassing kids just to be a d+*K

Answer 4

Police are an arm of the Administrative branch of government.

Handing out judicial notices to appear (traffic tickets) constitutes a violation of the separation of powers doctrine because that is a judicial function and can only be properly handled by the Judicial branch of government.

Police have no legal authority to pull you over. Look in your vehicle code. When you see their lights flashing and siren blaring, your only obligation is to get out of their way. Not pull over.

Once you're pulled over, all they have legal authority to do is arrest you or release you.

The only reasons they can arrest you is if you have disturbed the peace, or hurt someone's person, property or reputation. That's it!

Without probable cause: They do not have the right to search your car. They do not have the right to search your pockets. They do not have the right to even pat you down. They do not have the right to ORDER you to get out of your car. Just tell them "I wish to retain all my rights, and I do not consent to any search."

Every word of your conversation with a cop is part of his "investigation". You aren't obligated to answer a single question! That's a violation of your 5th amendment right. Every response from you should be "I neither confirm nor deny, and I leave you to your proofs."

UNLESS. (oh yes, here's what YOU did wrong)

You have volunteered for this treatment. How do you volunteer?
Register your car. Where is YOUR "Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin"? Did the dealership send it to the DMV when you bought your car? If they did, it's not YOUR car. The State owns it and they can tow it whenever they want.

Did you go down and get a "Driver's license". Did you know a "license" is obtaining permission from a competent authority to do something that is otherwise illegal? If you accept the "benefit" of the "driving privilege", you have placed yourself into commerce and agree that they are your "authority".

It's not illegal to travel. The word "drive" is a technical term defined in the "Vehicle Code". If you claim to be a "driver", then for you, "driving" is a privilege, not a right. For me,"Traveling" is a right, not a privilege.

As a flesh and blood man the "Vehicle code" doesn't apply to me. It's only when I contract myself into commerce that I'm subject to codes, legislation and statutes made by government.

As a flesh and blood man, I am under the law of the people, by the people and for the people. To be subject to arrest I must disturb the peace, or injure someone in their person, property or reputation.

Are you getting close to understanding why your rights are being violated?

IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THEM!!

Answer 5

Same in ks, they target kids and those with alternative lifestyles, I have a friend who is a cop and he says that it is all police officers carry "drop bags" so when they are "posative" that a person is guilty of something but cant prove it they drop bags of drugs in order to bring them into the station and further investigate them. Although I recently found out that ticket quota's are just a myth you are more likely to get ******* with by a sheriff or state trooper because all they do is sit in their car all day try to bust people...boredom sets in well they are dying for a bust or just to mess with people and have something to talk about. Lots of cops are those guys from High School who lived to pick on people and the only way to continue to be able to tell people what do it is be a cop.

***** THE POLICE
***** THE POLICE
*****'EM

Answer 6

You know it's not so much the harrasing many people say they do, hell thats their job. It's the attitude they get after years of being on the force. It's like they see EVERYONE as someone that is out to commit a crime. I guess it comes from only dealing with the dregs of society everyday.

They have to deal with a lot of things many of us never see. It's probably why they have the highest divorce rate of any occupation. After so many years of seeing the bad that people can do it kinda takes a toll on you.

Answer 7

Many are good, but quite a few become cops just to satisfy childhood repressions from being bullied. Believe me this is true.

Many are great, but more than a few unfortunately, should be put off the streets literally.

Answer 8

Police, as in any profession, have good ones and bad ones. I personally like the Police, whether they are pulling me over because my tags are expired, or I was speeding, or whatever. Don't forget that each and every day they work, they put their lives on the line so that those in their communities can be/feel safe. (Regardless on whether people do or not, they are still there putting themselves in harms way)

Answer 9

In Utah all the cops are may hamist there all for the mormon church they grab non mormons and cut there legs off the go to ballet schools and grab adolecent girls and viciously cut there limbs off them and do so horrible crimes against the most innocent. Then they want to give you a ticket for some thing with blood on their hands they are going accuse you of being a criminal a registration ticket boy are you a horrible monster to them and their mormon church you are public enemie number one.

Answer 10

I do not have any problem with the police.
I used to be a criminal, so I ducked them a lot.
I also had a lot of police friends.
I have been law abiding for some years now, and I am glad they have a function in society.
