So tonight my friend gets pulled over for rolling through a stop sign. And the cop didnt say much, asked for insurance, reg and drivers liscense. So the cop comes back with 2 papers, says have a nice day and leaves. Says nothing else.
He didnt get a chance to look at it right away and when he did he noticed it was 2 tickets, failure to stop or yield at a stop sign(85$) and a failure to show documents(like 140).
It turns out he gave him an expired insurance card(he had the current one in the box too) but the cop never said a thing. So him and his dad went to the police station and they were just being big *******s telling them that it isnt their job to debate things in the police station and to take it to court. GIVE ME A BREAK, that is just not the way things should be done, their job is to protect and serve the comunity not be complete dicks. its an honest mistake and the cop should have mentioned it being expired, not just drive away.
What do you guys think? are we just being babys or does anyone else get sick over how SOME cops will treat peope. ALL of the people i know get very scared whenever they see a cop, isnt there something wrong with that? shouldnt people not be afraid to see a cop pass them on the street even when they are not doing anything wrong?
:ermm:
also, lets not start bashing cops so the thread stays open. I understand they have a very dangerous and hard job but at some points it can get out of hand. stay respectful.
