YA cops are stupid, my friend got a ticket for RIDING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!! And it was a side street, not a big traffic street with a million cars, I mean how stupid, He has to go to court and everything. And I got a ticket a while ago for riding my dirtbike in the street which I was drying off, which was the same cop that gave my mom a ticket for parking in her friends driveway, which must be the stupidest ticket EVER!!!

Hey ass. When there are thousands of bicyclists out there fighting for bicycles to have proper rights on the roads, all we need it IDIOTS on bikes out there who are too freaking STUPID to obey traffic laws. A BICYCLE IS A VEHICLE. Of course you get a ticket if you operate a vehicle on the wrong side of the road. And then you act surprised that you got a ticket for riding an unlicensed and uninsured motorcycle on a public roadway. This isn't rocket science. You do things that are OBVIOUSLY illegal, you will get tickets.

well, i've had some stupid experiences with the police. I was changing my sparkplugs next to the auto garage where I work, using their tools and such. And I was on the street adjacent to the shop, because the bay and parking lot were full of other cars. I look up from what i'm doing and there's a BIKE cop writing me a $20 fix-it ticket. I start questioning him in his reasoning and he asks me to move my car. Well, it was kind of hard when there were 7 spark plugs on the ground and my car was an I4. When he handed me the ticket, I just laughed at him. Of course I argue it and win, and being good friends with the Sgt. here in this tiny town, he sided with me and thought it was stupid. good times.

That about covers it.

Let me get this straight.

You've had it with cops because you want to do illegal stuff. Cry me a river.

I'm not mad because I'm doing illegal stuff and having cops stop me, I'm annoyed because it seems like there would be better stuff for them to do than come up to me and keep asking me to move, or stop.There are more important matters to be worrying about, I have a few friends who got mugged and other such maddness... what I'm doing isnt hurting anyone, I'm on a trials bike, so I'm not grinding on any rails, therefore not tearing up the buildings. so why bother with the kid on the bike when there is real police work to be done?

P.S: I know to be very polite whenever I'm talking to a cop, they never get that mad but its just irritating.

Would you consider posting the editorial so we can get in a cat fight about it?

I'm pretty sure that there isn't a burglary in progress when they're schooling you. If there was, I'm pretty sure they'd go answer that call.

Many valley teenagers have stories of being pulled over and ticketed for curfew violations when out past midnight on weekends, and out past 10:30 p.m. on weekdays. Logan police officers are notorious for being sticklers with the curfew rule.
I was pulled over for a curfew violation recently, and suffered from a bit of culture shock, having just moved to Logan from Salt Lake. Curfew laws are in existence there, but they are not enforced, mostly because the police have better things to do than hunt down insubordinate teenagers.
I believe that if the police department shifted their focus from curfew violations to other things, like plowing snow, the city would be better benefitted. Perhaps we could put taxpayers’ money to better use by mounting a snowplow blade and salt machine to police cruisers to solve this complex issue. They would still be protecting the public, but this time from the horrors of ice and slush, rather than dangerous teenagers such as myself.
Think about it. There are plenty of car accidents in Logan due to dangerous driving conditions. With the addition of ten or so more snow plows to the current plow mafia (in the form of Crown Victoria police cruisers, of course), we could greatly reduce this number. By supplementing what seems to be an overworked plow force of Logan City with police officers and their cruisers, we could have the streets safer overnight, albeit full of trouble making teenagers out plotting to ride the carousel at K-Mart at 3 a.m.

I think they should make the curfew 7 p.m. *EVERY* night. Keep you little hoodlums locked out of sight where you belong.......... :angry:

Here, let me summarize that:

"I was out breaking the law one day, and the police took notice. I don't like the law at all, though, so the police shouldn't enforce it.

So here I am, making retarded suggestions like mounting snowplows on Crown Victorias.

The End."

Whaddya mean? Just imagine how useful a snowplow would prove during pursuits and civil unrest or for clearing the homeless from the streets. And the road salt dispenser? What better for backing off the caravan of cars that believe speeding directly behind a cruiser somehow puts them in the radar's blind spot and prevents 'em from being ticketed?

 

[llkoolkeg]

And now for a much-needed injection of levity:

1) Good
An Erie, PA policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but
wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A twelve year old boy
was standing up the road with a hand painted sign, which read "RADAR TRAP
AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a
sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell
lemonade!)

2) Better
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an
automated radar post in Pittsburgh, PA . A $40 speeding ticket was included.
Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police
responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

3) Absolute Best
A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the Pennsylvania State
Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she
said "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball".
He replied, "Pennsylvania State Troopers don't have balls".
There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what
he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and
left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

You gave the cops a name to hassle as well...

umm, yeah......that would really piss off the cops around here

although contrary to popular opinion, most of us cops are college educated folks that can pick out an editorial post that has merit verses an overpriveledged whiny kid that gets to post his mundane thoughts in the local paper.

i have one cure for every cop-hater out there.....do just one ride-a-long on a friday or saturday night, you're views will change drastically.

 

[blue]

It wasn't meant to be taken seriously...however, our PD is overstaffed, it's a pretty open fact around here. The police don't have much to do. A couple of weeks ago a kid at a different HS got arrested for lewd conduct after making the "jacking off" hand symbol.

When I was an intern at the LBS, a cop came in to investigate a bike that was stolen from the front of the store. After getting a report from one of the owners (took 5 minutes), he wandered around the store for 45 minutes looking at crap. If only you could know what it's like to live in small town, Utah...

and if your cops not manimal how can he tell the difference between a bike thats grinding things up and one thats just triials? and landowners put up no tresspassing signs for a reason. its very unprofessional for a big client to come into your building and have to watch out for some dude hoppin around on his back tire. also what if you fall? you get hurt and from the landowners viewpoint thats a liability. he doesnt want to get sued. so it makes alot more sense to just not let anyone ride there eh?

Well, it wasn't clever, it wasn't intelligent, it wasn't funny, and you kill your own credibility when you post something as utterly worthless as that.

Just something to think about. In a discussion, don't quote stupid people for any reason.

It's written for teenagers that love taking jabs at the local PD, not for seemingly omniscient egotists such as yourself. If that offends your ever superior and obviously far reaching intelligence and insight into such things as high school newspapers, so be it.

Wow... talk about over-reaction to some little article in a frikken high school newspaper that was obviously not meant to be taken seriously...

JBP asked me to post it. I did.

...and I told you what I thought of it. High school paper, or the New York Times, I thought it was stupid. It didn't offend me at all. It didn't even provoke enough thought or emotion to offend me.

I do admit my reaction was a little over-stated though
