I'd like to know more about the racing thing - feel free to PM if you want.
The Sergeant did what he did, was terminated, and is in the prosecution process.

Define "giving you shit".

Still waiting to hear about the corruption.

Sounds like people that have done bad things and have been punished accordingly when caught. Sounds like any other PD or SO in the country and any other job field in the country. You're bound to have a few fools when you're employing hundreds, that doesn't mean there's "corruption".

Find another place where the crime rates decrease while the population goes up.
I'm not saying it's any more than any other department but I certainly hear & seen more about Forsyth than any other county and I've never even lived there. An ex-gf works for Hall County now, lol.

Obviously by corruption I didn't imply it was anything like New Orleans or Key West in the 80's. Hell, both Hall and White Co. sheriffs were running drugs in the 80's. Bales being dropped in Lake Lanier and picked up by boat...all stories from someone there.

As for giving me shit, I didn't realize a county officer had the authority to question someone that was pulled over by GSP...as he starts questioning the legality of my $1,500 coil-overs as "altered suspension" and I wasn't even lowered more than 2". How about my Falken Azenis being street legal or not. Petty BS when a state patrol officer caught me speeding with laser in a construction zone and attempting to do his own job.

I have more respect for officers than probably anyone you'll meet, online or on the side of the road. I however do no tolerate being harassed or lied to. I've busted two officers lying in court before. One, after being put to desk duty went on to being an investigator. Every time I see a detective I think about him and hope he changed and treats his duties in a moral way unlike how he treated me.

I've had a few officers try the intimidation approach by driving 1/2 a car length from my rear bumper to get me to do something wrong. I brake checked the crap out of one doing that. I'm talking it was late afternoon and he was two feet in, smoke boiling, nose dive, elbows locked on the steering wheel...all seen in my rear view mirror. If only I had a rear facing in-car camera for that one. The very first road we came to he pulled off. I'd like to see him explain his video to his supervisor if he rear ended me.

One time I had a car door closed on me after attempting to get out after being told I had a tag light out when I knew I didn't. This was on a side road at 8pm with no more than 1 or 2 cars per hour at any given time, he wasn't closing it for my safety. I said it must be mud or exhaust/oil on the bulb...I said I'll clean it off, no big deal, then he literally slammed the door as I opened it. Then continued to say I was weaving and there was a problem with people drinking and driving. I told him that's all he had to say to begin with, I don't mind doing a road side sobriety test one bit. The more people they test the more are caught...fine with me.

I moved from the small town drama with officers fishing like that: Dahlonega, Oakwood, Cleveland, Cumming (visiting friends), etc...even Suwanee yet I always show respect until I get wrongly accused or disrespected.
