Section 7
Assuming he was breaking the law by not having lights after dark on a street.

That's for operation of vehicles. The thread title is much more broad.

The thread title is broad but the original post was pretty detailed on the circumstances.

Hmmm, you seem awfully defensive over a story YOU brought into the conversation. Are you trying to hide something?

Now you know how citizens feel when an officer is asking unnecessary questions and then says “we’re just having a conversation”. Umm, no, it’s not “just a conversation”.

You know they are "fishing" where I'm coming or going is Irrelevant to this traffic stop. Write my ticket, I'll see you in court.

Sometimes I wish it was a banning offense to purposely hijack treads (at least it's not misquoting...), and mods would not let it go on so long. But alas, neither is going to happen.

Years ago, numerous people in this thread would be banned for talking bad about law enforcement, no more I guess.

Oh I know. According to Patrick, Mr. Brown threatened to burn his house down.

This is as far as I am going to look up any more state statutes for this question. All the references for further debate/reference are at the bottom. This is the only reference the state statutes have on identification crimes.

That must be why I received an application form from them one year.

To make them less corrupt?

 

[Snattlerake]

Thanks for posting the 'Law Enforcement Code of Ethics' Snattlerake. It's more clear now why I could never be a cop . . . that thing about having an 'unsullied private life'

Yeah, and so much for whatever I see and hear being forever sealed. I've told y'all so many stories, I could write a book.

 

[queenjohnson1791]

Oh, FFS. Yeah...that's all I see. I can see where you get that after I stated it was a bad joke and showed poor judgment and leadership. This is why we can't talk like adults. Because you can't be objective and you can't even recognize objectivity. I was commenting strictly on the photo incident. Unlike you, I don't have insight into the inner workings of the entire department and the thoughts and intentions of all those who've worked there, or still work there. I don't know anything else about the department. I also refuse to condemn an entire department on a single moment of bad judgment buy some members of the department. Not their proudest moment. But, unlike you, I have a sense of humor and can also see the prank for what it is. And you're damned right I think it was funny.

Since judging is something you seem to do I'll go ahead and make my judgements about you based on this thread. You're a sanctimonious blowhard. You're like a certain poster on here who engages in name-calling and other less than stellar type behavior in one post and then posts about the wonderful things he does at church in the next. So I know all I need to know about you. Since that's the way you seem to like to operate, I'll play.

My point on the slogan is this, when a Police departments is so content in abusing its citizens that they are willing to parade it around in public, I see that as an issue. I could give you countless articles, citizens testimonials etc. On that particular department, Im not trying to make them look worse than they already make them selves look.This is how they want their deptment portrayed! Think about that. I'm very fair and objective, that is why I have asked some serious questions here, that are worthy of response, it just seems no one wants to touch it, but why?
As an officer is it ever okay to violate the oath of office? And if so than way? What you fail to understand is I want change, the People of this Country deserve to be treated fairly and justly by the Police! How do we make that happen?
I think in all your rantings you have confused me for a defund the Police type, I am a Constitutionalist. I think the Constitution is one of the greatest documents ever written.
Once again I will ignore all your name callings etc. They are your opinions and your entitled to them. If you where paying attention you would notice a conversation is my objective here, and just like with self defense, I bring the same level of force being dealt upon me! Back in 2003 I thought it was hilarious, shared it with my friends seen it as a bad joke, I know longer see it that way, it was our complacent attitudes as Citizens towards this kind of behavior, that allowed it to spiral to the point it is at now, lawlessness amongst the Police. This is one of the most corrupt departments in the nation, I don't want that here, I don't want a bunch of "gangbangers with badges!" running around doing harm. " Be the change that you want to see!" I want to live in a community with a Police departments I can be proud of, and stand behind, even when someone makes a mistake! A Police department with a culture of Community! Not a Culture of us verses them! That should never be, a Citizen should be able to have an open discussion with the Men and Women they entrust their safety too.
