Re: Cops Suck
2am, out in the middle of nowhere, 3 or 4 guys in a car that rolls through a stop. The cop didn't care about the stop. He was looking for a DUI or possession bust.
Now, you can look at that 2 ways:
1 - he was trying to make sure the streets of Nowhere Iowa are safe for 80year old ladies returning from Bingo
OR
2 - he's a bastard pig looking to get a nice arrest and get a promotion.
I tend to be an optimist, so I go with #1.
As for your argument that the $72 doesn't fit the crime - that's not the cops, thats someone in some legislative branch somewhere.
As for "pay the ticket or not?"
You're not under any obligation, but offering isn't a bad thing since they came back to get you.
As for your future career in law enforcement :
writing posts titled "cops suck" that include lines like:
[ QUOTE ]
I called my friend back and he said they were driving out to this guys house to do a lil smokin... so I asked if they could drive back and get me.
[/ QUOTE ]
probably isn't a good thing to include on your resume.
