FL Patrol in disguise!

[Projectnighthwk]

I also agree with the idea that everyone needs to slow down in construction zones, despite the animosity most mich-ganders feel towards their construction zone workers.
But I don't respect the local police in our state one bit. The "System" here in Michigan has shown nothing but disrespect and over abusive use of police powers.
I've been pulled over twice for tinted windows at 2:00am in the morning by local police,
I got pulled over once in a ford test vehicle that had the new halogen lights that looked blue at 1:30 in the afternoon. Very sunny day. The officer stated to me he had pulled me over due to the unstock color in the vehicles headlight setup. I asked him how could he notice something so trivial during a sunny day in june? He then got pist off and started snapping at me and writing a ticket for illegal equipment till I whipped out the automakers exemptions for test vehicles. I think he just got more ticked off while walking away.
But on top of that we have a court here in Michigan called the 48th district court which serves 3 of the richest counties here in Michigan. This court has been under scrutiny by newspapers and journalist for awhile due to over obsessive ticket giving nature by the locals.
This court recently remodeled the whole inside in black marble and expensive cherry wood benches. And added a second wing to the court based on “Such good business”.

I’m all for the state police monitoring construction zones and ticketing accordingly. I’m not for police officers that sit outside for Ford motor plants and what for modified vehicles to come out and give tickets.

To top off my early days of disrespect for the police, one of my first jobs back in the day was working at a 7-11 while going through college. And after listening to what came out of these peoples mouths every day and night about the public they serve. All I have to say is that police feel that they public doesn’t respect them, but it’s all brought on themselves.
Oh YA my wife’s a cop too.. I don’t like her either!

Ummm, if you have illegal tint, take it off and you won't have that problem.

Because that's his job.

They talk that way DUE to the way they are treated by the usually (not always) by the thankless public they protect and serve who constantly complain about the way they do so.

THE LOUSY COP


Well, Mr. Citizen, I guess you've figured me out.
I seem to fit neatly in the category where you've placed me.

I am stereotyped, characterized, standardized, classified,
grouped and always typical. Unfortunately,
the reverse is not true...I can never figure you out.

From birth you teach your children that I'm the boogeyman
and then you're shocked when the identify with my traditional enemy,
THE CRIMINAL.

You accuse me of coddling juveniles until I catch yopu kid doing wrong.

You may take an hour for lunch and several coffee breaks each day,
but point me out as a loafer if you catch me having just one cup.

You pride yourself on your polished manners,
but think nothing of disrupting my meals with your troubles.

You raise hell with the guy who cuts you off in traffic,
but let me catch you doing the same thing and I'm picking on you.
You know all the traffic laws,
but you've never gotten a single ticket you deserved.

You shout "FOUL" if you see me driving fast to an emergency call,
but raise hell if I take more than ten seconds to respond to your call.

You call it part of my job if someone strikes me,
but it's police brutality if I strike back.

You would not think of telling your dentist how to pull a badly decayed tooth,
or you doctor how to take out your appendix,
but are always willing to give me a few pointers on the law.

You talk to me in a manner that would assure a bloody nose from anyone else,
but expect me to take it without batting an eye

You cry"something has got to be done about all the crime" but
you can't be bothered with getting involved.

You have no use for me at all, but of course it's O.K.
if I change a flat for your wife,
or deliver your child in the back seat of my radio car
on the way to the hospital,
or save your son's life with mouth- to- mouth resuscitation,
or work many hours looking for your lost daughter.

So, Mr. Citizen,
you stand there on your soapbox and rant and rave about the way I do my job,
calling me every name in the book,
but never stopping to think that your property, your family,
or maybe even your life depends on me or one of my buddies.

Yes, Mr. Citizen, it's me, the lousy cop!
