hey guys. I live in a pretty large town, pretty suburbia and like 97% white. Before this I lived in a city where I was a minority (white). Our town has a very low serious crime rate which is great. But because of this I think our police are so bored they will pick on us teens for any little thing. I went to go pick up my friends who were hanging out in the back of an elementary school(they were girls), i was with one other dude and like 1 minuite after we got into the parking lot, a cop pulls in. He's all pissed that we are there cuz it;s after sunset. He asks me and my friend for I.D. but doesn't ask any of the girls who were actually loitering around for thiers. I have talked to a lot of my other friends about this and some of them (girl ones) have said they were with guys at the same place and they didn't take thier names down either. This really pisses me off. anyone have stupid cop stoires?

your right, I that isn't being currupt but it's being unjust and unfair and sexest. I should have also listed though that the police chief's son was found guilty of possesing something like 100 punds of marijuana, he was growing it at home... also my moms friend was involved in a car accident where she was hit by a police officer, the police department offered her silence money not to say anything...

Maybe the police officer new the other people that were there. It sounds like you just moved there, so maybe he asked you for your ID because he had never had contact with you before. Maybe you are just a smart a.. and that's why he asked you for your ID. There are a lot of reasons that police officers do the things they do, and they don't have anything to do with corruption, racism or anything like that.

I think you are using the word corrupt rather loosely. I am willing to bet, when you were "trespassing" on school grounds a neighbor or passerby called the police. This then generated a radio call in which a required a response.
Trust me, cops don't want to chase kids off of school grounds. But a call for service is a call for service. Go hang out at a bowling alley or something. Be happy the cop didn't do more and learn from the incident. Not all cops handle calls the same way, just because your name was written down this time means absolutely nothing.

Ok, so he "picked on" you and that makes him corrupt? Is there more to your story? Did you get shaken down (asked for bribe money) to get out of trouble? Did they beat you up and then cover it up? Did they solicit you in any way?
Let me answer my questions for you...NO!
I agree that the cop should have identified everybody.
Maybe, just maybe, your town has a low crime rate because cops ask what the hell people of driving age are doing hanging out behind an elementary school.

That is no where near corrupt. what do you think happens when you work at Target and get an employees discount. Same thing-professional courtesy. Give me abreak- do you know how many teen agers have killed cops?? This is their job. Let it go

Yeah like the time when my dog ran way and the cops didn't do a single thing about it. I was standing right in front of three cops who didn't care they just looked at me and didn't even help. Then when I got the dog ( I told the cops I was looking for a dog) the cops come in and say you are stealing this dog they were so wrong. Then I had to be sent home by my friends dad who was the Chief of Police and he was asking all of these dumb questions. Then My friends and I were just hanging out to go to the beach and two cops were spying on us like we were going to do some thing bad. But we weren't so they come over to us and say what are you guys doing and they were asking us all these stupid answers. IT WAS DRIVING ME INSANE!!! and then one of my friends took a rock and hit it at the police car and made a riot go down the street. IT was revenge!!!

this is what we get to live in a "Free Country", I got almost picked up by cops just for taking pictures in the town park after sunset, are all cops corrupted? I hope not but it's very hard to proove anything
my best advice ? just try to stay away from them if you can

like the old saying, "power corrupts". there are going to be bad apples in the police force because their ranks are drawn from the human race. besides, how do you not know the girls weren't involved with the cop(s)?

Yes, cops in the same town can often apply their procedures differently, and that doesn't seem fair.

The kangaroo courts tell us it's tough to prosecute corruption and conspiracy but that's it's basic workaday face. Yeah, I got stories. But they go far higher. I doubt there is such a thing as a cop who's clean, or anyone who knows about any of this kind of thing really willing to call it for what it is because it looks to me like nobody's straight. Remember, the first directives are usually Federal and Clandestine. It isn't like nobody doesn't know about this.
