I have to agree. I did not want to start a fight or anything but, when your in trouble for any reason, who do you call? When there is someone in your house threatening your family, who do you call? Leo's do a hell of a lot more the give out tickets, but thats all most people ever notice. Think how stressfull of a job they have too. Dealing with the scum of the city on a daily basis, and it does not pay that well either. Just some food for thought.
I know there job is not easy and most cops are cool. Hell even the Jeffco bike cop we talked to after at moco was the coolest guy. This cop however was a complete power hungry small down cop ass hole. This guy's goal is the serve and protect...the ticket quota for Morrison. He did not give us a chance to explain anything. He gave Damir a ticket just for pulling over with me, he made up a speed out of his ass. This guy gives all cops a bad name, and its these guys that make everyone hate cops. The few screw it up for the many.
Think of this guy as a "squid cop", he is just like the sport bike douche bags that ruin it for everyone and is the reason sport bikes are targeted.

Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist"
well if you would've read my previous posts I'm saying that this specific cop was unfair about the situation thus also saying that he's a disgrace to other real cops out there. I imagine that being a cop is not an easy job and they risk their lives for out safety, I recognize and respect that cause it balls to do that job..... I was just ranting about the same situations that most of us have been through with cops throughout our riding experience which most of them are bs you know.... that's all.

True, only if they can't get there in time (and thats where a CCW comes in, but thats another conversation altogether). And I dont disagree, but I'm just saying not all cops are dicks. Hell, I went on a ride thursday evening that was absolutly trashed by a pull over. But they serve there purpous most of the time.
Just saw Morrsion PD stop a guy on a scooter tonight (Friday 7:45PM) near the Conoco. Hahahaha
"That which does not kill you only postpones the inevitable."
I don't think cops are dicks in general. And I've had a lot of positive encounters with them myself. But they are in no way obligated to actually protect any of us individually. And if a guy is in your house, shoot first and call the cops after.
I got pulled over because I was in the left lane for more than a mile and a half. I guess after every car I pass I am supposed to get back in the right lane. Fucking Boulder Cops.
Your best bet is to take pictures and a diagram of the roads. If you roll into court and just say I didn't do it the judge will just say you're guilty and then you have to pay court fees. Just an FYI, when the cop goes up to give his side of the story he says when the radar gun was last calibrated so that might not work. Don't really know how you could win this one. Maybe you could at least get the amount of points dropped down.
My step-dad is a motorcycle cop and I still think most cops are douche bags. No one said all cops are fucking idiots or anything like that. IDK where you live but I do know that i've been pulled over just because the cop figured I had something illegal on my bike. I can't even ride through Boulder without getting stared down by every cop on the way.
As for going 10mph, I make sure whenever I pass by a cop and I am going a little under the speed limit to give him a nice little wave. My way of saying "fuck you" try and pull me over. Also, watch out as you guys head from Lyons to Ned. The speed limit before you get out of town is 35 and there is an SUV cop that sits behind a tree and this dumpster so all you can see is his window and the radar gun.
