if this fine was 'off the record' doesn't that render it a....a bribe? and if it went on the record then the court would have access to its documentation, right?

is it better for cops to take bribes 'off the record' or put people through the courts/whatever legal process it requires/paperwork?

i was considering becoming a cop before just to be a beacon of light amongst police, just to be that 'good cop' who sees people for who and their situations for what they are. i would totally join 'cops for legalization' and wouldnt put anyone through the system for entheogen/empathogen related charges, i'd regard the law with moral insight and wouldn't just do things because "that's the way the law goes", i'd come down hard on scum like rapists, violent gangs etc but for the average joe bloggs who enjoys a toke, let them be. oh yeh and fuck ice.

but no, i don't think i will become a cop, it just doesn't seem morally right for me to uphold these worldly laws decided, imposed and upheld by omnipotent politicians playing political football with our freedom.

But yeh, i reckon the "fuck cops" attitude is flawed, there are some decent ones out there.

That is the dumbest story I've ever heard. Don't you know that the police will pretend to be your friend to get the confession out of you and create a smaller hassle for themselves?

They don't care about your welfare. Some may be decent people underneath, but they are never your friends. And that fine trickles back to them. It's like you gave up your wallet and defense without a fight.

I was cooperating with two undercover police officers and when they asked me if I was in trouble with police before, I stated that I have a pending court date for shoplifting charge... I didnt mention fraud.

They said that if I cooperated and told them if I have any other stuff that I stole then hand it over... I said no comment but then handed over everything. They said they will keep the whole thing civilised, didnt put any hand cuffs on me and treated me with great respect.

They said I am under arrest and then asked me if I wanted to pay for my goods that I stole. I agreed to pay. I was really going out of my mind because I was thinking my life is over for sure now.

The police took me to this remote cop shop, which was an empty open floor... they decided to give me a ....FINE. I was so relived with this, because they could have easily taken me to court and Id get the double knockout... but now all I need to do is pay the 200 dollar fine and that is the end of it, then go to my original court and resolve it there. The court should not even find out about this fine as its off the record.

To be a cop, you must be fucked up in the head. Most cops derive sexual pleasure from exhibiting power and sway over their fellow man. Hannibal Lecter would've made a good cop, so would have Hitler and Stalin and Suharto and Mussolini etc etc etc

Anyone bashing the cops need to take a reality check, they protect your sorry asses every day, when you get shot at who do you call? when you get kidnapped, who do you call? when you have some crack heads breaking into your house, who do you call? when some crazed fools are going on killing rampages who do you call?

I'm sure alot of those guys wouldn't mind smoking a joint or at the very least sitting back chilling out with their family and friends having a beer instead of having to put on bullet proof vests and hope that it's not the day some loon they pull over for murder somewhere does not shoot him in the throat right before they shoot him in the eye so then his family gets to deal with a closed casket visitation.

Or better yet the guy's that have to look at crime scene investigation photo's for month's trying to catch some fool that shot a mom and her two year old to death....

If all of us were perfect we wouldn't need the police.
