There's all kinds of good cops as well as bad cops. People are more willing to point out their bad experiences with cops then their good ones. I've been stopped 3 times in the past year and only gotten one ticket. If you show them a little respect they'll do the same for you. My buddy got pulled over last winter doing 72 in a 55. The cop said to him, "Sir how fast were you going?" He said, "I had my cruise set at 72." The cop said,"Well I clocked you at 72, Honesty pays have a nice day sir."
When you're in the wrong and you know it, don't try and play the victim. It just makes you look like an A$$. I've ran from the cops before on my quad but I've also had cops wave to me when I was riding my quad on the road here.
Everyone calls cops names and rants about how terrible they are. Some day that "A$$hole Pig" might actualy save your life. You just never know.

FBI fired as victim unbuckled, lawyer says
Agents ordered man from car at gunpoint

Joseph Charles Schultz, the Anne Arundel County man shot Friday after being mistaken for a bank robbery suspect, was reaching to unfasten his seat belt to comply with an FBI agent's order when the agent opened fire, an attorney for Schultz's family said yesterday.
"They told him to get out of the car, and he was trying to comply with that," attorney Joseph C. Asensio said.
A single bullet from an M-14 assault rifle struck Schultz, 20, in the face, shattering his right cheek and jaw.
His condition was downgraded to critical but stable this morning at Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where relatives and his girlfriend, Krissy Harkum, 16, were at his bedside yesterday.
FBI officials, meanwhile, said police had arrested the man federal agents were searching for when agents mistakenly stopped Schultz.
Michael J. Blottenberger Jr., 32, of the 1600 block of Locust St. in Baltimore, was charged with bank robbery and made an initial appearance yesterday before a federal magistrate.
Schultz and Harkum, both of Pasadena, were returning home in her red Pontiac Grand Am after a shopping trip about 6 p.m. Friday when FBI agents in plain clothes and an unmarked car pulled the couple over on Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena.
The agents were looking for Blottenberger, who was wanted in connection with the Feb. 20 robbery of an Allfirst Bank branch and who was believed to be driving in a red sedan Friday.
Asensio, a Glen Burnie attorney, said yesterday that two agents carrying assault-style rifles approached the car that Harkum was driving and ordered her and Schultz to put their hands in the air.
After the couple complied, Asensio said, the agents ordered them to get out of the car.
Schultz was shot when he reached over to unbuckle his seat belt, said Asensio, who met with Schultz, Harkum and their families at the shock trauma center Sunday.
FBI officials have acknowledged that Schultz had no connection to the crime or to the suspect.
Special Agent Barry A. Maddox, a spokesman for the FBI's Baltimore field office, said yesterday that he could not comment on Asensio's version of events. Citing bureau policy, Maddox said he could not provide any details of the shooting investigation or names of the agents involved in the incident.
"It's an ongoing investigation, so we're very limited about what we can say about it," he said.
For the first time, however, the FBI indicated that the agent who fired the weapon Friday has been temporarily reassigned. "The agent involved in the shooting has been assigned to duties that will likely not involve armed confrontation," Maddox said.
A team of FBI investigators was dispatched from bureau headquarters in Washington over the weekend to investigate the shooting. The FBI's findings will be reviewed by the Justice Department's civil rights division, which could bring charges in the case.
Anne Arundel County police are conducting their own investigation; its results will be forwarded to county prosecutors. Two Anne Arundel County detectives were helping the FBI search for Blottenberger on Friday, but were not at the scene of the shooting, said Officer Charles Ravenell, a county police spokesman.
An arrest warrant charged Blottenberger with robbing the Allfirst Bank branch in the 8400 block of Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena on Feb. 20. A criminal complaint filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore charged that Blottenberger took $26,324 in the armed robbery.
Witnesses told police at the time that the robber left in a green pickup truck, and officers later recovered such a vehicle behind a nearby video store. Witnesses described the robber as a white male, 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing 160 to 200 pounds, according to police reports.
During an initial appearance yesterday before U.S. Magistrate Judge James K. Bredar, Blottenberger had short-cropped, light brown hair and wore wire-rimmed eyeglasses. He had a large tattoo on the back of his neck.
Blottenberger, who has previous addresses in Essex and Glen Burnie, has a lengthy arrest record for charges including burglary, theft, drug possession and assault, state court records show.
In court yesterday, Blottenberger acknowledged the bank robbery charge against him but did not enter a plea. Bredar ordered him held without bail after Blottenberger did not request a detention hearing.
Blottenberger was arrested late Sunday after a chase that lasted nearly three hours and involved at least a dozen officers, canine and helicopter units, Anne Arundel County police said yesterday.
Police first spotted him about 8 p.m. Sunday, driving a gold-colored Ford Escort at a Pasadena gas station. Officers in marked police cars tried to pull over Blottenberger, but he wouldn't stop, Ravenell said.
Blottenberger abandoned the Escort at Oakwood Road and Fifth Avenue in Glen Burnie and was eventually captured in a fenced area of Evergreen Gene's Glen Burnie Garden Center in the 400 block of Crain Highway.
County police immediately turned Blottenberger over to the FBI.
Schultz, who is expected to recover, remained at the shock trauma center today. He was attached to a ventilator, making it impossible for him to speak, and his face was covered by bandages. Asensio said that Schultz is conscious and able to communicate.
"He can nod his head. I spoke to him a little bit, and he can understand," Asensio said.
Schultz, an Eagle Scout, graduated from Northeast High School in Pasadena in 2000. Asensio said that Schultz was laid off in December from his most recent job, working with fiber optics at a local medical company.
As a result of Friday's shooting, Schultz had a shattered right cheekbone and jaw, as well as damage to his nasal passages, the attorney said. The bullet had lodged in his left cheek, and it was unclear whether or when doctors would try to remove it.
"There's certainly going to be some extensive reconstructive surgery that's needed," Asensio said.
Agents pulled Harkum from the car and threw her to the ground after the shooting, but she was not injured in the incident, Asensio said.
At the hospital, Harkum and Schultz's relatives declined to comment yesterday.
Asensio said: "Right now with regard to the family, they're just interested in finding the best medical treatment at the time and will go from there."

moose you need to control yourself on this forum. and i will remind you that i'm not a 14 year old. i'm simply relating a story that happened to me. whether you believe it or not i could care less. a little preparation h might help your attitude. i don't hate cops. several of my friends i graduated with are on the force around here. one night my house was broke into and all my tools were stolen. i had alot of other things that could be taken and i knew they would return. so i waited. sure enough he came back. instead of putting a bullet in him i copied his tag# and descriptions of his car. he pulled under my carport and opened his door. cut his lights off. but never entered my home. (good thing for him.)i guess something spooked him. when he left i called police and gave all the info. the cop asked did i have insurance because i was never gonna see my stuff again. now can anyone explain what else i could have done? i never heard anything else about it. i even called for updates. they never even knew what i was talking about when i called. i always had refresh their memories. same result when my car stereo was stolen. now i know some of you think cops are perfect and all, but things like this will change your perception a bit.

richieroadrash, I believe I was & am under control. Your story set off my B.S. detector & I stated that.
Whenever I see a story posted here you always seem to post a "that happened to me too" story.
I know that a police officer would not take your attitude & " walk away wet" without saying anything. So I stand by my post that your story is B.S.
I'm just stating my opinion.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I don't think so.
I also never said you were 14 the person who started this thread said he was 14.
The preperation H remark was totally uncalled for, it was childish & a personal attack. Anyone over 14 should know better. Perhaps you should check the filter between your brain & typing fingers before it gets you in trouble.
I have no problem with any one challenging any thing I say on this forum, I post as truthfully as possible. Just look at my post on my dyno test numbers, I could have put that I got 50+ HP but I told anyone who wanted to read it I only got 41.3 HP even though they are lower than they should be for my mods. I posted my actuall HP numbers so people could give me their opinions on if these numbers sounded right or was there something wrong that I could fix.
Posting B.S. on this forum just to make me or my quad look to be baddest doesn't help me or anyone else who is using ATV Connection to find information about their quads or the problems they are having with them.
Everyone on this forum has the right to challenge anything posted here mine, yours or any one else if they believe it to be wrong.
A good natured & friendly exchange of ideas & information is what this is all about.
If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

moose whats between you and ritchie is your buiness but calling the kid names is uncalled for im sure you were much smarter than him at 14 and im sure the cop could have said where did you get the quad from and checked the vin before
hauling him in???
as for cops they are paid public servants not dictators
and i have lead a cop off my property by his arm and got away with it. they only have the right to trespass on offical buiness and as soon as its determined there is no reason for him to be there he is the same as any other trespasser
and you can treat him as so.
cops do have a diffcult job but should remember they choose it and we pay them to do it.
and hondamarshal2 respect is earned not given

ASZAND I agree about respect being earned. Don't lump all law enforcement as being a$$holes. It seems to me from reading this ridiculous thread that there are a lot of people that dislike law enforcement. I take pride in my career and you are right I chose this job. But let's get back to the ATV post. I'm not at work and I come read this for tips and stuff on ATV's. I'm relatively new to the sport and it is a great stress reliever, riding quads. It is also a lot of fun putting mods on that make it perform better. I really cannot believe I wasted my time reading this thread. I'm going back and talking about quads with people that make sense!!! I only have one thing to say to the originator of this thread: You can't believe it, you got arrested? Well I have a fealing that it might become a habit with you in the future! Let's get back to why we are all on this site.
