Anyone hate majority of police?
    #19149043 - 11/17/13 10:23 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

How much of our time and money do they waste on worthless shit like minor speeding tickets?


Seriously, not that I would do it but  i wouldn't mind beating up some cops and whacking them with a baseball bat till they're face is bleeding. :hypnotic:

Also they seem so power hungry these days.  I feel like back in the day parents would tell their kids to go to police for help and now we are advised to avoid the police as much as possible.

The cops caught a serial killer in my neighborhood a couple of years ago. I think that was pretty good work.

Most of the police I've ever dealt with have actually been pretty cool. Even when they caught me smoking weed in my truck.

2 of my friends dads are cops and they're both great guys that truly want to help people. When I get pulled over in my town I name drop them and it probably helps 30% of the time.

Those are the only only 2 policemen than I actually know so in my little world cops are good. Seeing random cops pull people over for going a few mph over the speed limit does put a bad taste in my mouth though.

Whenever I get pulled over for going less than 5 over I never get a ticket, always just a verbal warning. and it's typically only when things are really slow. cops fly by me on the highway all the time when I'm going 10+ over and I have yet to get a speeding ticket on the highway.

i don't think most are power hungry, they are just people who have added power because of their job, and sometimes they use that power.

How many cops have you met? I've met a bunch and none of them seemed "power hungry" you seem to be watching too many internet videos of bad cops.

You also seem to think that speeding is safe for everyone else.... yeah I'm sure you love those dickheads who tailgate you for not speeding and shit.

I rarely have any interactions with police and have never had any real trouble with them personally, but I have seen a few act like assholes on occasion. I would guess that most around here are decent enough people.

I certainly don't 'hate' the majority of police. I've found the majority of police to be quite understanding, assuming I am being civil. What I do hate, are officers who will go beyond what is legal in order to persecute someone for a victimless crime. Police officers catch murderers, rapists, and thieves all of which I hate 10x more than the police

I have no problem with cops whatsoever even those who gave me tickets for failing to stop at a stop sign an other things.

You guys are all butthurt because you were caught with drugs (probably in a stupid way that all your fault).

that's almost pretty literal is that I have been searched 3 out of the last 5 times I've been pulled over.

I think it was just speeding violations and an outdated vehicle inspection sticker

(and 1 out of 3) I was caught with drugs...actually including all the other times I've been searched without reason I also never had drugs

I guess some police are good but there does seem to be a lot of corruption in the police force these days.    That's why I said we're advised to avoid police though, cause if avoided they can be no problem in a lot of cases.  There are some good cops too, but a lot of corrupt ones as well apparently.

You speed when you have drugs in the car and you wonder why you get searched? They can see what you've been arrested/ticketed for. "Speeding and drugs, repeat offender.... go figure.

Haha no but I could imagine people telling their kids to avoid police these days, or at least when driving on the road.  There's a highway here that has a speed limit of 50 mph, I'm pretty sure the reason for that is so they can make money off speeding tickets.

I think the majority of them are alright.  Just be upfront and honest they might treat you like a person.  Stop doing things in a moronic manner.

You think your job is stressful when you get an order for 6 hamburgers, try and imagine what they go through everyday around every corner.  Would scare me.

My interactions with police have always been pleasant. I got pulled over for illegal turn, and my drivers license had been expired for a long time. The cop gave me a warming for the turn, and made sure the no license case was dismissed in court. No fine. No points. Thank god I'm white.

Statistics also show that police commit murder and rape (or sexual assault) at a rate much higher than the general populace--though rate of theft is roughly equivalent.

The kicker? The arrest and conviction rate of police--for all crime--is dramatically lower than that of the civilian populace--but is this really a surprise?

ipso facto, police are either murderers and rapists--or complicit in the murderin' and rapin' perpetuated by their colleages

police forces around the worlds are cesspools--corruption is endemic--and it is only logical to direct a fierce anger and distrust towards the power and authority represented by a badge, and anyone who would choose to hide behind one.

it's really only sick when the speed limit drops down and the signs are not clearly visible. There's a town about 3 hours away from me that we always drive through when we see family.
It goes from 60mph to 35 mph really fast, someone is always getting a ticket when I go through there. The speed limit signs are poorly placed and by the time you realize that you're speeding you probably hear sirens

So you mean you LET them search you, you've been caught with drugs, and you're only CONSIDERING saying "No, I do not consent to a search" next time it happens?

Sounds like you need to learn your rights dude.  I would NEVER let a cop search me without a warrant.  Period.

Of course we all know its a social phenomena that when you give a group of people power, or one person, the power goes to their head and causes misconduct. We were just discussing this is sociology. The prison guard and inmate model. The question is; Do these misconducts do more harm than the police force does good

I certainly don't 'hate' the majority of police. I've found the majority of police to be quite understanding, assuming I am being civil. What I do hate, are officers who will go beyond what is legal in order to persecute someone for a victimless crime. Police officers catch murderers, rapists, and thieves all of which I hate 10x more than the police



I hear you on the victimless crime stuff but do you really want the cops to be the final arbiters of what is and is not law?  Blame your fellow citizens for that, not the cops.

The question is; Do these misconducts do more harm than the police force does good




Yes, they do.

Remember, in the vast majority of cases--for example, things like murder, rape, and theft--police don't prevent crime, they investigate crime that has already happened and provide an opportunity for compensation or revenge.

Though the argument can be made that a certain percentage of folks will not commit a crime solely because of the police presence, it can safely be seen that in the majority of cases this is not true. Making something illegal, or increasing the penalty, does not correlate with a reduction in associated criminal activity--for example, implementing the death penalty for murder is not associated with a reduction in murder rates. The only effective way to reduce crime is to increase the presence of police on the street level--which, while reducing civilian crime, inevitably causes an increase in crime perpetuated by those wearing the badge.

Once one understands that police generally have a negligible impact on reducing civilian crime rate--and that tactics that do see a measurable reduction in civilian crime, also see an increase in police crime--the claimed benefit of a police force, that of 'preventing crime', begins to make less and less logical sense.

Though it may be true to make the claim that the majority of crime is caused by civilians rather than police, this is merely due to the fact that the vast majority of folks are also civilians rather than police--when balanced, per capita, it is seen that police are much more likely to be criminals than civilians are.

So, what sense does it make to have police forces to prevent crime, when the only major result is the creation of a minority population who commits the very crime they are pledged to prevent, all while enjoying near immunity to any prosecution?

No. A majority of cops around here are actually really cool, and quite honest.
