He's the same tool bag that would cry about being cited/arrested after breaking the law. It's people specifically like this that have done their part and then some in creating jaded cops through their douchey behaviors.
What's the deal with cops driving 5-10 miles per hour under the speed limit? Are they just trying to mess with people behind them?
And then there's the cop's flying down the road and they hit their lights when they go through a red light...now I know what that's all about.

I'm guessing its easier to spot suspicious activity at 50mph than 55mph and probably to provide a safer scenario if the need arises to suddenly turn around or stop.
Seems about right.
Except for the MOST officers... part that is. In my experience, I'm afraid you might have your statistics reversed.
Yes. On 2 occasions. Got her official business card on the one.....who later ended up wife #2(r.i.p.) Truth.
Well, I really liked this story. The guy admitted to driving drunk as a police officer.
Started off as a light hearted joke and the other guy escalated it. That's the impression I got at least.
You guys did read the part at the beginning Agent's story were the officer at the alley started the interaction by asking a disingenuous question, either to fluff his own ego or to (figuratively) pick a fight, right? Regardless of the profession, it's pretty much a douche move so I think it's a pretty funny story.

I used to live in an apartment building with this very attractive sister who was a LEO. I'd usually see her in the morning when she was coming home from her shift and I was headed to work.
I never made a move though.
Dude, you so should have. From what I saw and heard while married to her, the LEO women are fairly crazy in their personal lives. Like they have a little more testosterone going or something, they're just downright horny.+1

I like when people talk about hating cops because then I don't have to waste any more time with them... I immediately know they are an a**hole.
"Oh bro, that cop was hassling me just because I was going 95 in a 60! What a PIG!!!" People who talk crap about cops are almost always delinquent losers, IME... This coming from someone who has been arrested, paid thousands in fines, etc. and still supports the police.
Also, thanks for sharing all the cool stories, OP. I love hearing about the dudes behind the badge.

Most police are great guys who keep everyone around them safe. It's just there is never any media coverage for being an outstanding cop.
Instead, everything cycles around what this bad one did and so and so.
It's just the crooked cops that give the rest a bad rap.
You won't find a more respectful and cooperative person than myself when I encounter a police officer. Why? I'm not stupid. The police ALWAYS have the upper hand. I learned that at very young age living in Podunk Alabama. They will **** you over in a heartbeat. Always have and always will. Its the nature of the beast. The profession attracts bullies and miscreants like flies to ****. I ALWAYS assume the worst and ALWAYS put forth my best behavior. It is my firm belief that this strategy has circumvented many a beatdown in my 56 years.
Yes they have more militaristic tools at their disposal these days and that is worrisome. But we also hear about this stuff more as well due to technology. I dunno if its really gotten any worse, because in my experience police abuse of somebody, somewhere has always been there.
Quotas? Of course they have them. Why would they not? Does anyone really think numbers would not be in a policeman's performance standards when numbers are the game in every other profession from sales to IT?
Preventing crime? Not much, maybe on occasion by sheer coincidence. In my adult life my residence has been robbed on 3 different occasions. All duly reported to the authorities. Did they ever get my stuff back much less arrest anybody for the crime? Of course not. I did did get a boat motor back MYSELF when I saw it at the local pawn shop. If they ever followed up and arrested the guy who pawned it I never heard from them. I followed up with the pawn shop guy and he just shrugged and said he reported it. Maybe he lied but I doubt it.
I realize that once in a while they arrest a real criminal and bring him to justice, but detereance? I don't think so.
Its a necessasary evil, police. They serve a purpose but they also arn't really looking out for your best interests or give a **** about you.
Be smart, say yes sir officer, and save the constitutional arguments for later if you feel thats called for.
