$$ says that he will get off of the charges in court. its just a shame that he has to spend the money to fight an over-zealous officer.

Soo lets see the cops a jerk for ticketing the person operating the steering wheel who was drunk? The driver should have been issued a ticket also for being to fat to wait until he got home to eat.

However damn those cops...i mean im so sick of them doing the jobs they are payed by the public to do.....you know what lets write a letter to the president and tell him we do not need police. I think we are a strong enough society to police ourselfs?

Here print this out.

"Dear Mr. President

Please fire every police officer in America because sometimes cops become tired of stupid citizens doing stupid shit that kill innocent citizens. We are able to police ourselves now...We are big boys! I have personally stopped all the crime in my state and i also hear all the prisons are full of innocent people. You can free those people up when you get a chance after firing all those scum sucking cops. "

ITs a bullshit ticket .. how the fuck would a cop know that he was solely controlling the steering wheel ?He does not have eyes inside the interior .. had no way of seeing hands on the bottom of the steering wheel .. Lame

Ive done it before and for something like that Id do it again.. Id would straight up tell them to do their fuckin job protecting and serving the public.. while your writing a bullshit ticket wasting my time and your time as well as the taxpayers money for your car to run gas and ac while you dick around writing me a ticket.. your sorry ass couldve been busting someone robbing something .. stopping a rape or burglary .. theres soo many things out that need policing and dickhead lazy ass cops feel the need to nitpick and pull someone over for a bullshit reason hoping theyll get lucky and see something else to write up. My cousins a cop he tells me some of the stories the older lazy guys do its ridiculous.. fill that quota

Bigrus, defender of bullshit police actions everywhere, no matter the ridiculousness of the actions.

is bigrus a cop or something?

**jad628** · 08-03-2006, 03:58 AM

Bigrus is involved with law enforcement yes, just like I am.

In all fairness, what exactly are you all basing the validity or bullshit value of this stop on?

I didn't read enough to know which way to go on this. Was there a thread I missed? Touch the wheel, you ain't a passenger anymore, you are a DRIVER!!!

Here in NC, if the PASSENGER is the registered owner of the vehicle and the DRIVER is intoxicated, then the PASSENGER gets to share the wealth on the DWI charge. That's the law. Did that apply in this situation too?

Even if it didn't, if you are drunk do NOT under any circumstances touch the wheel of the car!!! Don't do that...period. Very easy rule to follow. He took the wheel so the driver could have a bite of a sandwich? If that is ALL that happened, I doubt the cop would have noticed. Something else is missing here, and my money is on it being something dumb done by either that guy on someone else in that car.

Anyone who has the ENTIRE story, let's share it and see if this holds water.

Seriously.

John (yep, a cop)

P.S. And for all you who hate cops, have a blessed day and let's be careful out there!

Whenever you take the steering wheel of a vehicle in motion you are in control of that vehicle.
Don't blame the police. Blame the lawmakers. Police just enforce the rules.

I bet they were very embarassed to have to do it!! I know I would be. But if the local government enacted an ordinance, they have to enforce it. It sucks sometimes, but remember the cops didn't make the ordinance. Probably got ordered to do it because a politician required it. That's the way it goes sometimes.

Still, it would seem some people would see some street justice in that for all those times bicyclists refused to allow traffic by in other areas. Ever been on the receiving end of that? Cars stop at stop signs (most of the time), why do bicyclists think they don't have to? Do ya feel me?

Again, lets not be foolish here. Police enforce the rules developed by the lawmakers. Learn the difference. Lawmakers...Law enforcers.

Thats makes all the sense in the world.

**TMF** · 08-03-2006, 06:51 AM

We've been round and round on this cop issue. I think, just like everything else, we hear all the bad stuff and don't hear enough of the good stuff, kinda like the "lefty" news media. Bottom line; we all have "bad cop" stories.

Unfortunately that is true. I'm quite sure there are more positive police stories than negative. In fact , I am sure there are more positive police stories.

Are the lawmakers responsible for the lack of common sense too ?
