[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4109927, member: 45773"] I've never had a bad experience with an officer before, or after, I was in law enforcement. My worst experiences I've ever had dealing with a police officer was always while I was on duty. And I'll just apologize now because I don't have any transcripts, video, dispatch tapes, affidavits or other documentation this actually occurred. You'll just have to trust me that it did. Or not. We had a small island of unincorporated county within a small city in the Denver metro area. I was working that district one day and stopped a car in that city that had almost hit me. An officer from that agency pulled up and stopped behind me but didn't get out until I finished the stop (with a warning). He came up to me as I walked back to my car and said he didn't appreciate the county making traffic stops in "his" city. I thought he was joking and kinda laughed at him. Sadly, this ate-up dude was serious and we had a few words. I pointed to the SO badge on my chest and told him that gave me the authority to conduct traffic enforcement anywhere I damn well pleased in the county (or the state, for that matter), in "his" city or not and if he didn't like it that was just too f'ing bad. I left. A couple hours later my Lt called me and asked what happened. I told him. He told me to see him before shift briefing the next day. I figured I'd get an ass-chewing. Next afternoon I stopped in his office as instructed. He told me he and I were going over to this particular city after briefing. I just assumed he had arranged some sort of meeting. When we got there he parked in the PD public parking lot just off the main drag thru the city. It was pretty close to rush hour...about 4pm. He asked if I had a radar and I did. He said cool. Let's find a place on the street in front of the PD to conduct some radar enforcement. We did. No one from that PD bothered to say anything. The officer did drive by and give me a pretty stern looking at...but didn't have the balls to stop. [/QUOTE]
