Although I generally agree with you about cops, I have had one or two who were straight up and decent, and they didn't like most cops either. One time I was in a group of drivers and one guy sort of in the lead saw a cop just after someone said everything was clear. I think he was the one who said no smokeys. Anyway, he floors it and takes off, so naturally the cop goes after him.
A short while later he's back in the group. Asked if he got bit, he replied in the negative. Asked how he got out of it, he explained - he was a cop, showed his badge, and the guy let him go. He couldn't see one of us getting a ticket when he wouldn't, and it didn't slow him down much at all, obviously. I had a retired cop friend back when I was working on Beetles. He had me repair his GF's Beetle, as she had just lost her dad and had been going to school. He wound up marrying her. She has one or two kids by him, but I haven't seen her since a few months after my accident in Nov. '01. I was sorry to see him go. He was straight up and well respected even among people on the wrong side of the law. If they were going to be arrested for doing wrong, they would prefer Eno arrest them, even though he was sort of ornery and crusty at times. There have been a few others, but they are the exception, not the rule. Here in Lafayette, motorcycle cops are the worst "orifices" of all. ________________________________ From: Kim Paddock <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, July 22, 2010 8:20:11 PM Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cop Pulls Out Gun On Motorcyclist My shrink told me that I was to NEVER..EVER date a cop...that includes military police, parole officers, prison guards, ex-cops (they never really are EX-cops, are they?) or any person who ever had "officer" attached to their name. He claims that only one of us would get out alive and his odds were in my favor. Of course he didn't really have to tell me this info...I never would go that direction anyways. ________________________________ From: Kyle Munz <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, July 21, 2010 9:03:23 PM Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Cop Pulls Out Gun On Motorcyclist That was the typical behavior of cops in the town I grew up in, except that they woke my mom up at 04:30 on a saturday, not 06:45 on a weekday. I wasn't home (still out from friday night), when she told them I wasn't home they called her a liar and threatened to arrest HER. What did I do wrong? Oh, it seems I had a headlight out 6 mos before. A cop had pulled me over and given me a warning, WARNING written very clearly on the citation. However, when he got back to the station he entered it as a real ticket and assigned me a court date that I didn't know about. The warrant was for failure to appear. I could take over this forum with stories about the cops in that one tiny TX town of 14,000 people...lets just say I know how that guy feels. I still don't trust cops, not one bit, got friends who are cops, makes it difficult. -Kyle On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 5:43 PM, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: Have you seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK5bMSyJCsg&feature=related > > >Then watch this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2tOO4NwMY0&feature=related > >-- >Paul > > > >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/nighthawk_lovers?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
