Nice, huh? Girl gets arrested for warning of speed trap.

[#1Townie]

Absolutely not. I've offered you a ride-along before, it's still on the table. You can see what a mid-size agency does. I don't hide anything. I'm proud of everything about my agency, there's very little that goes on "behind the curtain" that I'm ashamed of. But the stuff that is there I won't hide.


Thank you, but I can truthfully say most of my agency's Officers are clean, honest, hard-working guys with a common goal. We have our bad apples of course but by and large we has a really good group of guys. But my agency is a bit different than most, traffic enforcement is not a high priority to us. Crime control is. And we're so under-staffed that we just don't have time or cops to do those tricks you mentioned.


Flashing lights = failed to dim lights when approaching an oncoming vehicle. A class 1 traffic infraction actually ;-)

I'm just trying to give people factual information, from a truly informed person, about the actual workings of a law enforcement agency that serves a population of 150,000 or so. You will always find a way to not believe what I say to justify your feelings on law enforcement, but we really aren't out there to screw anybody.

Lol bro I was being a smart ass. I will take your offer for a ride along. Pm me what I have to do.

I'll be glad to take both of you, but it's going to have to wait unless you want to share my desk. I'm still on light duty because of my hand. I'll let ya know when I'm back. And though some of you may know, I can't name my agency online by policy, they are embarrassed to be affiliated with their inferior rank and file.

As for my speed addiction, it's moreso an acceleration addiction. But it makes a heroin addiction look like a vague craving for something salty. I love my cars and my bike. Chasing criminals around is merely something that pays for who I truly am. If you've never driven a 487hp Fiero, it's psychotic.

So while I have your foot in your mouth let me throw this out there. The way we... As in this company I own do things is something that a I'm sure you narrow minded operation repo watching fools would never understand.

Wait, so you're saying you don't have some fat psycho bitch with 80 tats and a tongue spear working there droppin attitude? I thought ALL repo companies had one of those on deck.

[Aaron]

That chick is sexy. If townie does have a girl like that on crew I want to meet her!

Guess I missed my calling & shoulda been a cop...

Ours is on back order. That particular model is in very high demand.

[Ghosty]

The mutant yokels on Lizard Lick & Operation Repo are truly scary.

[DFab]

Technically I can stop and cite you for tapping your helmet, the law states your hands must remain on the handlebar at all times.

What law is this, and how does it square with hand signaling turns?

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

Which agency are you? I think a ride-along would be fun, if it's open to more than just Townie.

Don't worry, on the ride-along, townie would be in the back......

[grim]

Wasn't gay until C_M made it that way.... coincidence? I think not.

Interesting question....

Hahahaha ohhhhhhhhhhh you guy I see what youre doing there.

+1

Especially since the DMV driving handbook actually talks about hand signaling, doesn't it?

I'll need to find it to be sure, I just assume it's a law considering we have a law concerning the same thing on bicycles (Must keep both hands on handlebar at all times). In each statute it certainly has a provision/exception for hand signaling.

Got my flame suit on, I'm ready for the "You're a cop you should know the law Wrabble Wrabble Wrabble." Well I don't. Probably because I never stop motorcyclists. Bicyclists yes, and that's why I know that we have the same law concerning bicycles

42-4-1412. Operation of bicycles and other human-powered vehicles
(7) A person operating a bicycle or electrical assisted bicycle shall keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times.

The only thing I've found about motorcycles is that we can't carry a package or anything else that prevents us from keeping both hands on the bars.

[Aaron]

We have a municipal section that reads both hands

[#1Townie]

I can ride my bike with no handle bars... Just saying.

[Aaron]

I can take apart a remote control and I can almost get it back together.

[#1Townie]

Lol

I didn't know municipalities could make their own, more restrictive, traffic laws.

[TinkerinWstuff]

Sounds pretty fishy to me

[#1Townie]

they can add to any state law.
