Cops, Proms, Checkpoints..

[Nikon]

Checkpoints are no big deal.

Agreed

(when you can flash your badge and keep going)

For the record, I've never flashed my badge at a checkpoint.

Fun being on the inside, isn't it?

Yes

Tell me, do those little blue stripe stickers on cars actually work to keep from getting tickets?

No

Geez Clay, I think this is the first time I've ever heard you act like a dick

[Slyder]

I can't believe I'm saying this but.... *gulp* .....I agree with Kham...

man down!!! someone dial 911 Nikon has gone awol!!!

by far the scariest post I've ever made

[poorboyspost]

no one said it was rational. if you really wanted to catch people you shouldn't need a checkpoint. just need to know the right places.... waste of resources if you ask me

Yeah I agree.

Even if they won't tell it people will still know and they will never catch people who are drunk in that way eventually.

Move here and you'll understand why. All citizens are treated fairly, unless you happen to have the appropriate sticker on your car, which gets you up a notch in fairness.

Nepotism is every where and not limited to this state.

anyone's daughter need a date from prom?

still offering my services

Nepotism is every where and not limited to this state.

The more you settle into an area, the more you discover who gets "special treatment".

Maybe I should start doing that in my job. If you have a "I give candy to the IT guy" sticker on your workplace computer, then I find porn on it, I look the other way and tell you not to do it again. No sticker, I report you to HR and you get your ass canned.

That's how this shit goes down, right?

[TheIglu]

BTW Nikon, I've never said anything but that I'm an asshole.

It's more of the frustration and hatred towards people that talk all kind of shit about how things aren't fair, special treatment is bad, etc, but then given the chance they hop right into that very spot. I deal with it 8+ hours a day.

I'm lucky to live in a town that is primarily policed by the staties. No cops turning a blind eye towards a drunkard who is nearly home in his pickup truck.

If I get a ticket, I get a ticket. If I don't, awesome. But for some people to get tickets/arrested/etc and others not simply because of who they know, that pisses me off.

My daughter Claytonia needs a date. She looks just like me wearing a wig.

You pay for the limo and her corsage, she will reciprocate by stomping on your nuts. She'll bring friends with video cameras to document the grape-stomp.

It sucks and is unfair but that is an aspect of life that will never change and it happens everywhere in every industry.

PS if you have a thin blue line sticker on your car and you get pulled over just having the sticker is not going to get you out of a ticket.

i'll only consider it if she's got the same goatee

It's all i know.

You mean like the piece of shit my aunt married, who got pulled, with his 2 kids in the car...shows his FD badge from CT and gets told have a nice day?

If that was me on my bike or cage, I'd have gotten arrested and probably hammered with the felony...yes he was going that fast.

I always wear an MREP or MSF Ridercoach shirt under my jacket when I ride. I don't get pulled over often but it works on occasion. It starts a conversation like "you should know better" and then a casual "yeah, I know, sorry". "Ok then, slow it down".
