It's not really everyone, you know as well as I do that there are a few bad ones. But you are right. I was generalizing a bit. That experience was before I even got into Law enforcement into the first place. Now that I'm in federal law enforcement though, it's pretty easy to bash a little. You know how feds are, we think we're better than everyone.
hahahahahahaha well at least you admit it.

what branch are you?
 
i got a ticket for a modified exhaust when i had a stock exhaust on ym BMW 325i '92. the officer just would not listen to me, even though i repeatedly told her it was stock. i got a letter from a technician at the BMW dealer and i brought it to court. the judge would not accept it. he said i should fight the ticket and subpeana the tech for my trial.

he told me i should try the sherrifs office downstairs and have them look at it to see that it is stock. i went there, and they said they have no way to dertermine if the exhaust is orignial or stock. i should go to the CHP office and have them use their equipment. i go there and the officer just laughs and cant believe what the other guys have been telling me and he writes it off without even looking at the car.

i dont know about florida, but in california, this is a fix-it ticket. if you fix it, the fine drops to $10. if you put your old muffler on, find an officer to sign the ticket as fixed, youll only have to pay $10. and you can just put your catback on later.

in almost everywhere, i find that officers are just doing their job. they dont nit pick about silly things like this, and i have great respect for them. i think its just a small number that give any headaches like this one.

well i work in an area where i dont get bored. trust me, this isnt a pleasent place.

so i dont go about giving out stupid tickets
i dont see why ur taking such offense to this whole thread. maybe your not a bias cop, but they are out there. that is all the people are trying to get across here, especially where I live. Naperville police have way to much time on their hands and will do anything to give someone a ticket. Yes i understand there are a lot of stupid people out there that deserve these tickets but some people do nothing wrong and they will still try hassling those people. You prolly a good cop, and no one is doubting that.
