I just want to find the officer that has a pet peeve for littering, especially cigarette butts. With all the butts I see flying every day, I'd expect the fines to be just as lucrative as speeding fines.

I hate that too, when they do that, I speed ahead and throw a handful of change out the window in front of em. And I must say, worth EVERY penny. No pun intended. Sure its illegal, but if police won't do anything, I will.

1. Identify the problem. You have done that.

2. Seek medical attention. This Is your next step.

Good luck!

I don't need medical attention, I'm just doing the job that cops can't do. Or you can call me a renegade if you will.

I agree, someone that attacks somebody by doing damage to their car is the biggest p@#%* in the world!

Scott, if it makes you feel any better I will tell you that some of us do enforce the littering laws. In addition to having numerous people get out of their cars to pick up their butts, I have written tickets for blowing straw wrappers and thowing hot sauce packets out of car windows. I've also written some equipment violations and put away some realllllly bad people. I try to be fairly well rounded. If you think the police in your area aren't doing things the right way, how bout joining the force and making it better? Talk is cheap

It would be wrong for me to join the force. You see, because then I would stop all bad crime and you guys would have nothing left to meet your quotas but more traffic violations.

Im not a cop hater, I think Im just a realist when it comes to police.

The times I or my family has needed police , lets say, for a theft, or vandalism, or car accident, they are usually slow to respond, a pain to deal with, usually discourteous, and usually make outrageous assumptions about the crime or you personally.

I think the mentality that you can depend on police to ensure your safety is the very thing behind restrictive gun laws.

Stupid people want to be at the mercy of criminals. Cops just come by a few hours after the crime to clean up the mess.

and this is the mentality I was brought up with being that my father is a former MP that served in Vietnam. He was always packing heat knowing that his safety was much more reliably guaranteed by him than by a cop.

I also wanted to know why I was surrounded by four cops when the pulled me over for having white windshield washer lights. They had a slight tint of blue sort of like HID headlights. It was just turning dusk and he said the reason he pulled me over was for no headlights and that I had blue washer lights. I said they are not blue they are hyper white (they weren't blue enough to be called blue). Then I asked him why are they illegal because they are not blue, red or green. He said you cant have 4 headlights on your car. I said, you just pulled me over for headlights and now your telling me that my windshield washer lights are headlights, so in short, I DID have my headlights on right? Cop looks dumbfounded. Meanwhile, in this discussion time, 3 other officers in patrol cars pull up. FOUR guys for a light violation. Talk about having nothing to do. Not to mention I see at least two of them hanging out at the local gas city every time I pass. Makes you wonder why it takes them so long to answer a call. General rule of thumb for survival. 1. get a security system in everything you own because cops are useless there. 2. get yourself a gun. The only security is the feeling of security!

Hey Scott, I hear you on that last post. Last summer my step-daughter and her boy friend were riding motorized mini-bikes out in vacant land right acroos the street from our frinds house, while we were in the front yard watching them. A cop drives by, and keeps going. I figured they were going to stop and say something since the vacant land is city land, but they kept going.... About 20 minutes later, the cop returns, this time with 5 cops cars behind the first one that drove by previously. I took 6 total cars and some had 2 officers in them to stop the two of them and question them about riding in city park land!! Totally ridiculous, especially since this is an area that has at most 1 cop in a 4 miles radius, they called on police for way in other parts of the city to come over for this stop of kids on mini-bikes!! Appearently the lady cop had stop them earlier in the day at a park down the road and told them not to ride in park land, the funny thing is where they were riding this time is not marked as city land anywhere. What a waste of tax money...at least this incident. I'm still not against all cops, there are as many good ones as there are bad ones.

In another incident with my neighbor, who does not get along with the locals here around the lake, some jerk called to report that my neighbor was dumping sewage into the lake, which was a ridiculous claim in the first place, cops show up, they find a piece of PVC pipe laying in the water at the shoreline and say they think they found where the sewage was coming from...this piece of pipe was not even connected to anything, and were going to write him a citation. He gets a jar as says "Aren't you going to take a soil sample to prove its sewage at the end of that pipe", and proceeds to scoop up some dirt below the pipe. He tosses the jar to the cop, the cop stands there limp handed and does not even attempt to catch the jar, and lets it hit him in the chest....remind you it was just a toss...cops proceed to arrest my neighbor then for assault on a police officer. He later sued the city and won and the cop was fired from the Lake Marshalls dept.

response to police question

First things first, If u try taping a Chicago Police Officer during a traffic stop, u are really asking for a trip to the cook county corrections facility, located at 26th and California after the trip to the hospital. We dont like video cameras, we dont like tape recorders, and we especially dont like the "Joe Lawyer" type who tries to argue over a traffic violation. Remember this I dont care what u do in the car, if ur driving a turbo buick or turbo pontiac, your all good. Ur still gonna get stopped by me, but its only to check out the car. Suburban departments are all about the revenue, so dont expect too much play from them. By the way the no front plate fine is $50.00 at this time and its a compliance ticket (parking ticket). I only write those as an add-on ticket for the dead beats that dont by a plate and city sticker, $120.00 for the city sticker, $75.00 for the plate sticker and another $50.00 for missing front plate-----$210.00 ouch

All I'm hearing from Scott is,,,,,whoa is me, all cops are out to get me because I like to pimp my ride with all the stuff from the Pep Boys accessory aisle, and I think I should be able to do what the hell I want anytime I want wherever I want because I have balls and nobody else does. If I were in Iraq I would've already killed'em all and everyone would be home now because I'm a bad ass!!!

Seems to me that Scott needs to come to Texas and run his mouth to these muscle bound cowboys that wear badges and carry guns. He would be sharring a jail cell with a bunch of other dudes that thought they were also bad asses that would include BIKERS! There is two people you can tell your story to,,,,the doctor and the judge. If you keep your mouth shut down here they can bypass the doctor.

TEXAS,,,we have the death penalty and we USE IT!!!!!! Gotta love it!!!

Good Lord, windshield wiper LED's on a GN? You shoulda gone to jail.

I suspect you were surrounded by 4 cops because it was the highlight of their night seeing something so rediculous!

Hehe, that would be the case, except it was on his daily cruiser.

Much as we seem to disagree on matters of law enforcement, I must voice my concurance with this. I think the officer was just confused which is why he changed his story, I would have been trying to figure out that logic.

You should go to jail for even thinking that because they dont have them except on the lower part of the windshield tucked under the hood somewhat. They were on my neon. Which everyone made compliments on. (shows how much you know about cars and style)

Secondly, what if I did get em at pep boys, what if I did have em on my buick, what if I did have neon lights. I thought it was all about "to each his own". Instead of being a coward and making fun, how about proving a point. You don't have one. Go get some drug dealers and shut up.
