Shuftin,
Say it ain't so, you've degenerated to donut jokes! I have come to expect more from you. I'll put my level of physical fitness up against the vast majority of 37 yo men. Sorry, sore topic because it is so ridiculous. Why do think he pulled you over? Just to mess with you? Do you think you are being targeted because of this site? You say rude and obnoxious. Could you be more specific? Did he yell, swear or act unprofessionally? I ask these questions not to defend or make excuses. I'm truly interested at your perceptions of why he did what he did and said what he said.

No the discussion is not entirely over. Sorry for the absence. I was hoping that you would enjoy the rest of the forum for a time. I've been over here policecrime.proboards28.com/index.cgi?board=judges&action=display&thread=1171049203In my own profession my biggest weakness is that I will tweak and tweak and tweak until I break it. I can't quite seem to get this article the way I want it. Some people call me a perfectionist and others call me asinine. Hopefully this article will answer most questions put to me. I still have a sequel to compile and format dealing strictly with the Court system itself, by itself.

My Grandfather had a bull that never sired as a result of my constant bee bee gun practice. Why did the Deputy pull me over? I didn't ask why and he didn't say why. There was a "closed" Burger King restaurant [for the night] swarming with County Sheriff cars. I assume it was a knee-jerk reaction for them to pull over anything that moved and I was moving. The local hillbillies around here don't know a legal stop from an unlawful stop anyways. From my observations of what was going on I don't believe that he pull me over "just to mess with me". The local Deputies are just hillbillies with badges. The number of people who can associate me with this web site I can count on the fingers of one hand so this wasn't it. Rude and obnoxious = loud, belligerent, bulling, suspicious, insulting, and intimidating. They failed miserably as I'm too old for this and I'm not from "here" anyways. The Deputy did not swear at me nor did he act unprofessionally. Actually the Deputy looked scared because I wasn't reacting to him as though I was terrified of him. NOTE: I grew up in a city of 500,000 Plus people. My extended family are all uneducated retards from Arkansas and now I live in Georgia.

I have been checking out the rest of the site. Interesting stuff. One thing that I seem to notice reasonably frequently is that many stories start out "Former (pick the city) Police Officer charged with crime." It seems that many (quite a few?) of these guys were weeded out by the system because they should not have been cops in the first place. Also check out the Washington DC Metropolitan Police Web site. Go to the Office of Police Complaints. They break down all the cases investigated by their Civilian Review Board. Interesting reading. (Sorry for the absence, more court time. FYI Guilty Verdict on an Operating Under the Influence of Liquor-Jury Trial. Probation Revocation Hearing for Operating Under the Influence of Liquor 5th offense-Held in the County Jail.)

The "Former" theme is a recurring, and tiring, argument on this web site. Yes sometimes or many times this may be true, I'll give you that. Most times in the actual reading of the article itself there is a discrepancy between the date of the infraction/crime itself and the date of the charge, indictment, verdict, guilty plea, or sentencing. Most times officers are fired, terminated, suspended, quit, or resigned before they have their day in court. Thus "Former" is in true usage at the time/date that the article is written. During the actual commission of the infraction/crime itself most officers were still on the payroll and were currently caring a badge. In any event here is a comment I posted on this very topic some time back. This is purely devils' advocate. policecrime.proboards28.com/index.cgi?board=talk1&action=display&thread=1154063483#1154063483

Shuftin,
I was referring to the stories that I see that talk about crimes committed by former police officers who are no longer active in the profession and haven't been cops for years. Just because some guy was a cop in the past and he gets arrested for an Operating under the Influence charge, I don't really see how that is necessarily a "Police Crime" and how it relates to members of my profession.

I have a Bachelors degree in Languages and Linguistics, and speak three languages in addition to my Masters in Criminal Justice Administration. It is pretty funny when people make incriminating statements right in front of me because they assume that an Irish kid from Boston can't understand Spanish. spd49 Truth be told. I can turn a murder/mystery into a comedy with my English spelling. Thank God for spell check. My mother was an English major in college. I was going to become a professional football coach when I grew up. Nouns and verbs have nothing to with broken noses and chipped teeth so I set my feet in concrete and refused to waste my time learning English grammar. In actuality I am better versed in my second language, German, than I am in English. It's embarrassing when my German friends write to me in English and they are better at my own language than I am. I always have to hit spell check before I reply to them. I am better at spelling German that I am in English. Maybe because I learned German latter in life. At 6' 3" and 230 lbs. I still resent the fact that I never made it into the Pro's.
