NO NO Josh, it's ok... I LOVE the stories:
No one ever has any first hand stories like Tom,
it's always just: "My buddies dad", or "This one guy I used to know".
I sit back and realized that sometimes you may get pulled over for something you may not have realized you were doing, but all you dumbasses who say that cops pull people over for no reason are wrong. Forget trying to screw you into a ticket, everytime the lights go on, I can't think of ANY officer I've met that won't call out traffic (meaning he calls dispatch to tell them he's on traffic.) And every time you use your computer (MDT) to run a plate, dispatch sees it anyway. It's an officer safety thing. I don't know you from shit, and if you're going to shoot at me, I'm the one going home tonight, NOT you.
And if it's found an officer is making bad traffic stops, he is usually put on probation during an investigation, at which time he's usually fired. I've only seen it happen twice. I don't doubt it happens, but I do doubt it happens as much as everyone says it does. "Illegal Paint???" Come on....
You're bitching to the wrong crowd. The Police Supervisor and Internal affairs cares, Not us.
BTW, I'd say over 75% of departments around here use onboard dash cameras, which are all digitally archived and reviewed by supervisors...
