I'm no longer 24, not speeding, and the cop isn't going to be harassing me. The truth is cops harass you for a reason - not because they are dicks, but because you a dick. I see it all the time on the freeway - I'm driving 70 to 75, I'm already speeding, but I'm being a "good boy" and staying in my lane, not tailgating, not passing on the left... And then I see some jackass in a hurry changing lanes four times in less than a mile, going faster than everyone else, passing on the left, not using his blinker, and then dive bombing for his exit. And then when he gets pulled over he wonders why the police are picking on him.
Someone else here mentioned a while back that they got arrested for smoking in a public park. They were breaking a local law - which was most likely set up because local residents were tiered of gangs of people smoking while they were jogging or playing with their kids or whatever - and when cops approached them instead of saying "sorry" and quickly putting out the smokes they were dicks, refusing to put it out, saying it was their park, they had rights, and then refusing to hand over ID. They hauled into jail for a few hours.
Cops just want to do their job and go home without shot.
Treat a cop like a dick, and you'll get the same back. Call him sir, put on your big boy pants, admit what you did, and take the punishment already.

I'm 41 this year, and my life of crime ended when I was 19. Like I said, I don't know how it works over there, but the last 3 times I've been stopped it's because the police 'thought I was going too fast'. I wasn't, any of the times - I accelerate fairly (but not overly) quick from a standing start to the speed limit, at that has been enough to get stopped each time. Even *if* I accelerated hard until I hit the limit, at no time am I ever going any faster than a person driving within the limit, who didn't hit a red light/etc. It's the reason it annoys me more than being stopped for breaking the law or even being a dick - I've always took my punishment on the chin, and never have made any excuses nor whined when getting caught for my various offences I've actually committed, even way back 20 years ago. To get stopped because some egotistic cunt in a uniform with a wonder woman belt on 'thinks' you 'may' be going too fast is BS no matter how you dress it up, and I'll act a fucking dick every time it happens, just to piss them off. Petty, yes, but meh, my own ego kicks in and that's how it is.
No idea what the story about someone else had to do with my quote, or why you're telling me, but I stand by it - all old bill are power tripping fucksticks. Yes, we need them, of course we do, because they are the ones with the tools to do the job of catching criminals, but don't tell me ANY copper is some kind of nice guy - they are all, without exception, the opposite once they put on that uniform, and that goes for my personal friends in the force too.
