I hear ya! Being pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen wasn't so bad. All their movement did was force 2 to work for the same pay one used to make.

You guys are something else, thats why I love to spin.

 

Exactly. too bad the movment didnt help em any.. Look at a quote from Miss Susan B Anthony's Biography one of the most well known early womans rights activists
"In 1875 she attacked the "social evil" of prostitution in a speech in Chicago, calling for equality in marriage, in the workplace, and at the ballot box to eliminate the need for women to go on the streets"

 

No tell me what did womens lib do but Put the prostitutes indoors? LMAO [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] seriously though about the cops. if your a wrong doer you will never like em. if you live your life in a decent fashion you wont mind them. Hell i just checked my driving record !!! SPOT FREE BABY well at least thats what insurance sees. but the patrol car computer. Oh dam. Im just dumb enough to stop i guess [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I struggle because things nobody cared about 10-15 years ago are major issues today. I'll always have a little rebel in me. Just hope I never get chased! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Cops Dont just profile Colored people BTW i know first hand they mess with Long hairs in beater cars [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

On a serious note I not only mind them I have the utmost respect and love for them. I just believe we should always question scenarios and see if there are better alternatives.

This issue just hit a nerve with it being a kid on a ATV. I am a father and put myself realistically in those parents shoes and also in those officers shoes and realized on my on that the chase may not always be the right thing to do. I then researched that issue and found that agencies are actually making changes that parallel my opinion. I then decided if persons that actually are involved in these chases see a need to re-evaluate the process then, it is a problem.

My record consists of three speeding warnings (no more than 15 mph over the speed limit in any of them). One blown headlight warning, hit a bird going home from work but the officer just wanted to make sure I was aware and would get it fixed. 2 wrecks where I was rear ended once at a stop sign and once at a red light no fault on either of those. I think that is pretty good for over 16 years of driving but I still question force when it just does not seem to fit the crime.

Oh yea I got pulled over once for mistaken identity and actually had the guns drawn down on me. Ironically it was a person who eluded the law the weekend before in a vehicle similar to mine so you would think I would be on the other side of the fence here.

I pulled over and waited for them to approach my window for the reason I was stopped. I looked in my review and they were crouching behind their car door pistols drawn screaming put your hands were we can see them.

I was like ‘ol chit. Put my hands out the door and slowly exited the vehicle and assumed the position. They ran my license and let me go never explaining the situation. I respectfully went to the police station the next day and asked the chief, he apologized told me the story and asked if I wanted to file a formal complaint. I said no but tell your officers those guns can hurt people and they need to be sure before they point them.

 

Dammmm!!! I had a couple year period where i was pulled over almost everyday if not a couple times in teh same day. and they all in the puter. it was ridiculous then i went and got a freakin Neg 1 and thats finally off my record. wooo whooo.

 

Jeez guys, this is turning into the Daily Spin Zone[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I forgot to add in my last post.

From my experience as an innocent citizen wrongly accused I will always question force used and if it was justified. Did I deserve to have a gun pointed at my chest that could accidentally go off and kill me? NO!!!!!!!!!!

So what if I had been the one that outran them the weekend before. I pulled over and waited as you are suppose to do. Gave no indications that I was fixing to run and even rolled my window down while I was pulling to the shoulder so they could clearly view me and what I was doing as they approached the vehicle.

Were they doing their job? Sure

Did the actions they followed meet the crime, absolutely not. There was no crime.

Yes I will always question the rationale for the made decision but never argue to let the criminal go.
