Since we are doing the complain about cops thing let me jump in here. While driving my Explorer this winter I had a run in with Ice and wind. Well needless to say my peice of crap high center of gravity explorer blew/slid into a count ditch. It ended up sideways going down the ditch and hit a plowed field stopped and tipped on its side.
So since the insurance would need a police report I called 911 with my cell and had a state piggy come help me. I was super nice to him and did everything he asked. He then called a tow truck for me and such. After the tow truck got there the trooper asked me to get in his car. So I sit down and he hands me a "failure to use due care" ticket.
Now this is what pisses me off. When he first got to the scene he said "sorry it took so long I stopped a mile back cause I saw another car in the ditch" Second thing "I only drove 40 mph out here due to road conditions" Third thing he never asked me how fast I was going.
So back in the car he says "I am giving you this ticket because you were obviously not driving the way you needed to be since you are the only one in the ditch" He then ask "and you must have been driving too fast which was how fast?" I tell him 30-35 mph which I was. He then blows it off as if I was driving faster than him.
So I get my court date or whatever and Im using my dad's Expidtion which is same thing only a bit heavier as my wrecked explorer. Same weather conditions arise the evening before court and worsen through the morning. So I call the court house and they say sorry sir you can either come and fight, pay and mail today, or get put in jail for failure to pay ticket. I was like BS
So in the memo of the check I wrote "for borrowing county's ditch"
