[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3950141, member: 25419"] Once upon a time I was a biker. (before it became a mid-life crisis thing and acceptable) When I moved to my little small town, I had long hair, tattoos, etc...rode a whore red Harley hardtail chopper. The local PD had a portly female officer that took it upon herself to pull me over for: improper eyewear, improper exhaust, excessive acceleration (I was trying to take off from an icy intersection after working 16 hours) - the list goes on. Never for speeding. It got so bad that my buddies would warn me where she was as I was heading to/from work. These tickets all came about over a period of a year, I think there were 12 or so. I hired a lawyer after the very first stop and I never paid a single one. After my son was born and I was really trying to make ends meet, this hero in blue pulled me over on my way to work. I told her flat out "Look, this **** was funny when I was single and no kids. I'm trying to simply go to work, and I'm not doing a damn thing wrong. Leave me the hell alone!" She looked a bit flushed, got in her car and drove off without saying a word. I never got stopped by her again. A few short years later she got in trouble for dragging a woman out of her house in her nightgown and parading her through the jail in front of men. (I think she got sued and lost over that one) aw.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/17/1436/56667 She apparently worked in conjunction with her hubby oftentimes, an OHP trooper. (she had a pic of him in her patrol car pointing a gun at the camera, I guess it was supposed to be intimidating?) They both witnessed some seriously bad behavior by fellow officers (more bad apples) and kept silent for six months.
