cops have nothing better to do!!

a cop giving you a ticket for aftermarket exhaust is not doing his job he harassing you.

Sorry, but you are mistaken. If you don't know....modifying your exhaust system away from OEM is NOT legal. So, yes, he is doing his job. And, as for your hating cops, hopefully, you too will need one and one won't be around. Later, QD.

... you too will need one and one won't be around.

Cops are not around when you need them. I'm as old as you, and have many experiences with cops (too many). I have a couple of friends who are cops and they are fine - when they are not on duty.

I'm sure everyone saw the robbery of the pawn shop on the news. What they didn't tell you is what really happened. The cops chased the robbers until the robbers fired at the cops. They the cops let them go. That's right, let them go. They called off pursuit. They didn't fall back, or follow them with the chopper (which was already in the air). They went back to the station and filed a stolen property report. This is on over 20 guns taken during an armed robbery where multiple people where threatened. Clearly if someone needed chasing it would be these armed robbers (clearly criminal), and not speeders such as sports cars and motorcycles.

The only reason that they caught these guys this week is because someone turned them in. They have still not recovered the guns. That is not a priority issue to them right now (their words).

As for the exhaust issue, my old 85 RX7 was a lot louder (i.e - earspliting) than any street driven car here on IA (anyone that heard it can tell you about it). I drove it for 4 years on the streets of Gwinnett, lived in Gwinnett also, and never got pulled over for loud exhaust. This is just another revenue plan. One of my cop friends told me flat out that they ticket a lot so that criminals will see them and think that there is a high police presence - that is their justification.

I still stand behind what I said. What I did NOT say was that cops are perfect and they always do the right thing. I believe some cops profile and target specifics. But just because of some cops, I don't hate all cops. As to the bank robbery story, I'm sure there had to be circumstances met for the cops to call of the chase. I do know that it is most departments policy to call off a chase if it gets too risky or dangerous. Sounds like that was the case in this one.

I'm certainly not trying to change anyone's mind and say you should like the police. I guess my thing is that it's kind of stupid and pointless to go around bragging about how much you hate them. But as always, at least I can count on you to add a mature, non-I'm a badass reply(when you do reply). Thanks for that, dude. Later, QD.

I'm not saying to hate all of them, and I don't expect them to be perfect. I just don't rely on them to be there when I need them. I learned a long time ago, when I had a robbery at my house, that I when I call the cops, they just wanted to take a report over the phone - even when I had clear fingerprints and shoeprints. To this day (almost 15 years later), on that specific case, they have still not attempted to solve it. I had it solved in 4 days and the stolen merchandise returned. And it was not someone I knew or anything like that. It was a random burglary. If I can solve it - am I am not a professional investigator, shouldn't they at the very least make an attempt?

What I thought was ironic last week is that the news story right after the armed robbery story was that Gwinnett had tested their bullet-proof vests and they passed. However, they definately did not want to test them when real bullets started flying .....

Lolol. I read you and understand what you are saying. I just thought about it for a second and realized what it is I was originally thinking about on this subject of hating cops. It's the people that knowingly break the law and get caught and then say the cops are idiots. Those are the ones I refer to. Later, QD.

U are another complete idiot. U saw the news but u are not on that situation itself.
The real situation is that when public services do that job, they do it with due regard. and if you don't know what it means, it means that they have to think abt the others when they do something even when they are answering calls on code 1.
On that call, shots were fired during the chase and just imagine if u are there on that day sitting on the traffic and u got shot while they are chasing after the robbers, what are u gonna do......Lawsuit to the county.

As I said if you don't know, don't think you know and open ur mouth. Oh yeah did u know that they already have the records of their tag # ect? ect.Warrants can be issued easily with that information.

And to top it off, they were arrested!nobody was let go?
So what do you have to say now?
