I'm a drug agent here in Tn. I am considered "over weight" by BMI standards I guess. But dont let it fool ya. I can still hold my own with out my TASER X26 or my GLOCK 22. Here's an idea for all the cop haters. Next time your in trouble and need help, call a crackhead.

 

I think u would actually be considered thin if u was standing next to those cops here.

 

That's the most sheltered thing I have ever heard. Seriously? If we citizens enacted that rule of thumb then y'all would gripe about cops doing to much. Like writing tickets and whatnot. I agree that cops let there selves get fat instead of staying fit. We are all guilty of that over time. But I can tell you from being a cop that our diets are horrible. We have to eat fast food two meals out of the day. We are on duty so we are forced to eat fast and gorge just in case we get a call. Other than big belly. Most if us also have high blood pressure, severe acid reflux and are the number one job for on duty heart attacks and strokes. But hey. Poke fun. I always say this. Being a cop is a calling not a job. Not everyone will understand.

 

 

I stopped at the red light once and I accidentally stopped with my sedan's bumper 6 inches over the white line. And after 30 seconds, the lights started flashing and he ticketed me (not for obstructing the pedestrian walkway, BUT for running the red light) c'mon I mean, really? I was parked there for more than 30 seconds waiting for the light to turn green and he's giving me a ticket for running the light? I would have been fine with a ticket for obstructing the ped walkway because it's my fault.

 

I will also admit some cops are to ****. I'm not one to write tickets these days. Buy I was back in my zealous days. Most cops grow out of that mentality.

 

Why would they lie on the ticket? What do they have to gain from it? Good thing I fought it at the court because I had friends who was following me in another car. He was suspended for falsifying tickets for a month.
And the biggest reason why I don't have any respect for the cops (IN MY TOWN), I am deaf and they would refuse to get interpretors for me, and almost always refuse to write on pen and paper, they would insist to try make me read their lips. It's frustrating sometimes

 

Whoops I guess I should have posted over at the "what grinds my gears" thread

 

For us the local Sheriff department is full of good ol' boys. Easy going and friendly. The NC State Troopers are whole different story... One of them pointed a gun at me for an infraction, and he said "the surfboards on your roof doesn't help your case". Surfer profiling....

Prepping the jeep for a ride to 'Cape Point' where the Gulf Stream traveling North, meets the Labrador Current going South. Creates a dangerous area known as 'Graveyard of the Atlantic'. Over 1000 shipwrecks lie in the waters and on the beach.

 

personally I think cops should pass a physical of some sort to be trusted to protect and serve. You cant use the excuse we are rushed to eat fast food come on..But im no judge...

 

is that where your jeep was almost sunk?
