I know quite a few officers being as I was in the nightclub business for about 5 years and we always had at least 3 off duties per night.
1. They break more laws than anyone I know personally. i.e. ALL drive drunk AND speed. Most do quite a bit of recreational drugs.
2. They use their position for some pretty scummy things. Ive seen them hook up with drunk underage girls
3. They are bullies. Ive witnessed 3 cops beat up 1 drunk guy for no apparent reason. Remember I am the guy that escorted these people out of the club. I am a very good judge of who has the potential to be a threat.
4. Very few can handle themselves.
Im not speaking for all, simply what I have seen with my own 2 eyes. Take it how you will.

I understand that. Sorry for the rant. My point was simply what purpose are they serving. Do you feel safer now? Do you feel justice has been done?? I dont. Why do many feel compelled to use their authority to just be dicks?? That is not the purpose of their position. Law abiding citizens are easy victims for bully police officers b/c we abide by the laws and many are still harrassed. That is my point. Sorry Im still steaming about my window thing and I can do nothing about it.

I dont think he liked my comment about me being an EMT and actaully saving lives instead of giving tickets and saying im helping people.

I think the cop stays at the same spot alot so im gonna try to make a stop by there and have a chat with him. Maybe someday when hes in trouble and needs me to pick him up in the ambulance he'll think twice about messing with people who are on your team
he give you the speach about you cant have tinted windows cause they cant see in and what happens if you have a gun speach

I've had three run-ins with Houston Police and two have been cool as ****, the other one a ***** that gave me the ticket for hydroplaning into a ditch which was a bullshit ticket. Around here we have a suburb of Houston called Pasadena and also South Houston. Pasadena cops are the biggest ********* on the planet. I got a ticket for having my radio on too loud in the S10 I had when I was 18. Note: it was the factory shitty system. Another one of my friends got arrested just for having two beers, because he is only 20 and the cop smelt beer on his breath outside an apartment complex. He told my friend to put his head on a wooden railway and my friend was about 3 inches from the rail and the cop slapped his head forward and busted his nose on the rail. Most cops do think they are bigshit, but the only thing you can do to combat that is know your rights and the laws.

I have gotten tint tickets on 3 cars all about 180.00 a pop Ca laws suck. I finally just had the freakin tint removed. They wouldn't sign any of mine off until they had proof of a receipt that the tint was removed because they were to damn lazy to go outside and look that it was gone. Even on my first tint violation I did not get a warning . I guess it is just the cop. When I asked why it was illegal to have tint on front side windows they just told me IT'S THE LAW . Jerk. I finally found out why it was illegal. Because when you get pulled over for whatever reason when the cop walks up all scared with his hand on his gun he can't see if you are pointing gun at him until you roll you window down by then it is too late for him. So I can see where they are coming from but it really is a BS reason to pull you over.

If thats the reason then why have the last 2 tint tickets I have gotten been with me driving with my windows DOWN

I almost always drive with my windows down, and I do understand why cops would be scared. But thats why when I get pulled over my windows are down, my interior lights are ON and my hands are on the steering wheel.

I make it really easy for them to see IM A GOOD GUY! jackass's
