4wheelerfred(edit) & MoldyCheese I WILL KICK YOU IN THE NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Its no good thinkin your a bad *** gettin a bad rap with the police. Dude I Have the longest rap sheet of prolly anyone. talk about profiling but I always stop and always am curtious and i have got let off on more crap than you could ever dream of. Its all about respect for your elders.

 

Just a couple of "turds" that will grow up??? thinking the world owes them a favor. There are two places we will most likely find them in the future....Prison or the morgue!

Come on guys, ride safe and don't give the rest of us a bad rap. Oh , and give me your address and I will send you a nickel for your part of my wages.

 

3 off like 20 cops that drive past my house in a day i live on a highway.
and the cops only have the right to do what you let them.

 

Well I give the NYPD the permission as a concerned citizen to do whatever they please with you. I think suitabley take you down to the Big Howy Farm (prison) and let the boyz have fun with ya for a day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Whats so hard about playin by the rules man? If your not liscensed to drive a car is it legal to drive it? NO if your quad is not street legal is it legal to drive on the roads? NO WTF is so hard about that to understand. Drugs are bad.. mmmm K

 

Now I know what we are dealing with here , or at least have it narrowed down.
4wheelerfred (going by spelling , sentence structure and riding an XR80 ), is either in the second grade , has been in prison before , or what the heck maybe both.

4wheelerfred, as a fellow ATV enthusiast , I hope your maturity catches you before the Grim Reaper does.

 

look at automobiles ive never seen a quad on most extreme chases. some one does not die on a quad everyday yet hundreds die every day in cars and i bet atleast 100 to 1 ratio of car chases to quad chases but we still have cars around and i dont think nascar is suffering because of all the people running from cops in there cars so i think all us atvers will be ok.the thing you have to understand is that most laws are not instated to save lifes or make the world a safer place there put in place to get your money for instance if all the goverment cared about were saving lifes why not lower the speed limit to 5mph make it so no care can do over 5mph how many deaths would we have then? why are car companys allowed to make cars that can go faster than the speed limit answer so they can take your money when you brake the law going faster than the speed limit,its all a big money game just like everything else in this world its all about the money.grownmancrying ill pm you my address for that nickel[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i dont think so. look at the nypd and the lapd. they beet the hel outa people. do you think people go up to the and say, "hey man, beet me with a night stick. i wanna look tough for my girlfriend". cops can use what ever force they see nessisary. and one other thing. i dont hate cops. i realize that they have a job to do. serve and protect. i will shake a cops hand when i see them busting drug dealers, catching crooks, beeting the hell out of those hippy protestors. i just dont think it is right for cops to bust the people that aren't doing ne thing. if one car speeds, does that mean that all cars speed? NO! if one quader does something stupid (me) does that mean all quaders dfo stooped things? NO!

 

I ride in 'legal riding areas' and I understand that it's not right to run from the cops, but if I was in that situation and I thought about the cops taking my quad, only one thing goes through my mind F*** THAT. Why? because I love my quad and I love the sport. I cant stand the thought of some cop in who hates quads taking my stuff away. I know theres a chance theyll be cool and just tell me I was doing something wrong but theres also the chance that the cop wont be nice about it at all. Id rather buy something for my quad than pay BS tickets.

And for whoever said that cops had let him off for doing all kinds of things, if you havent noticed law inforcement has changed. Like how back in the day if you got caught driving drunk they would escort you home to make sure you got there safely, instead of giving you a fine and/or suspending your lisence and trying to put you in jail.

I understand that when a cop does write you tickets and gives you a hard time hes doing what hes supposed. But the tickets and hassle are something I can do without so for now Im gonna either not ride where cops will hassle me or haul *** the other way when I see one.

 

CT- You are right when you say that times have changed. Like I said in another post society is sue happy. Everybody is getting sued not because of what they are doing, but what they are not doing. If you were a cop and stopped a guy that had been drinking and decided to let him drive home because he was not that drunk , here is what would probably happen....

He takes off and goes a couple of miles down the road, runs a stop sign, broadsides a Ford Taurus with Mom,Dad, Brother and Sister riding in it. Brother and Dad both get killed in the accident. Mom and Sister suffer a tremendous loss but have to go on with their lives. They sue the driver of the vehicle and his insurance company. They also sue the officer himself and the department he works for. Mom and Sister do not ever have to worry about money again, and that is the way it should be. All because an officer did not do his job.

Thanks for the input.

<<<so if you get your quad impounded, how do you get it back? >>>

Depend on your state and where you got caught. As with most things cops usually have a lot of leeway as to how hard you get hit. In NJ an impound can cost you upwards of $1000...........If you get busted by DEP guys in NJ you are screwed, even if you are a cop..

I have to say, every time I've been stopped the cops were cool. In this state I think most of them figure you and your kids are harmless caompared to the other crime we have.
