One time I was changing my tire at a gas station and a cop came up and asked if I needed help. He then noticed my jack sucked a lot and went and got an really good jack from his police station and helped me use it. He also offered to buy me a coffee but I said no thanks. It was really cold and wet out so it was pretty appreciated.

Are you sure he didn't slash your tires, beat you over the head with the jack and then dump coffee on you, and claim you resisted arrest? This story doesn't add up imo.

one time a cop harassed one of my friends because he wanted to get her phone number another time a different cop helped an old native dude who some white kids were harassing on the other side of the street so 50/50 in my personal experience i guess Exclamation Marx posted:I remember when Tokaii the former Chicago PD cop tried to defend being attracted to kids What was the deal w/ that anywys, is there more to the story than tokaii saying 'i like kids' in the archage thread then doing a banme after getting imp zoned?

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/epileptic-attacked-police/ I appreciate the fact that the police are so well trained in first aid that often they are sent to medical emergencies in lieu of EMTs. And that Holding cells are the equivalent of an ER to them...

One time I was riding with my girlfriend's CHP dad when someone alone in the HOV lane passed us going 90. He got on his cell phone, called local dispatch, and had them come out and pull over the guy (who we were now following). We stayed with the guy until he got pulled over. So thanks, Bill, for doing your job even off duty.

I got pulled over for speeding in South Carolina one time because I was trying to make the trip from Georgia to Massachusetts fast enough to not fall asleep at the wheel and die. Thanks for making the world safer cops.

I haven't been harassed by the cops in ages; It used to be that they would regularly pull me over and test for drugs and alcohol all while interrogating me on my recreational habits, but I must have finally gotten the right haircut or something in the mean time, because I don't seem to be setting off their gut feelings lately. I appreciate that.

White college guy, got pulled with bowl of weed while dwi twice in one week, once because I was driving without headlights turned on. Fumbled for outdated liscence and insurance card with the past three years in my glovebox. Each time it was a minority officer, a woman who got who called Mexican (I think) backup first time, African American cop second time. African American cop said he mistook me for a car making an illegal U-turn. Both times I got off without a ticket, only an incident report for driving without headlights on. Should thank my stars I was pulled by city/county PD instead of Campus Police, I bet they would have actually asked me to step out of the car. Campus Officer jumped me immediately after a no-right turn on red sign that was almost impossible to see at night, when there were no other cars in sight. This was before I'd started smoking, so nothing suspicious and got my first warning. Thanks cops! Triskelli fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Nov 18, 2014 |

But you are also apparently a loving idiot, on par with Apthous, so good job, since you are both advocating breaking the law (according to cops, anyway). It is illegal to take a nap on the side of the road, or so I was told by three cops in quick succession (the span of about 15 minutes) as I tried to do so in increasingly remote and out of the way places. All of them said I was lucky they were just letting me off with a warning. The first said the breakdown lane was only for broken cars, not naps, and trying to take a nap there was illegal. The second said the residential rural area (apparently most do) explicitly had laws against sleeping on the street in a vehicle. The third said that sleeping in abandoned lot of a boarded up gas station was trespassing and I was probably just planning a robbery being all suspicious in a place like that so I'd better get my rear end out of town immediately. So I don't actually know what a person is supposed to do in this situation. I just decided to stop driving completely, but I'm open to whether or not there may be a better solution here.

Rest stop s on highways have that name for a reason.. Not just because its catchy. Walmart parking lots or any big box stores don't care either. Parking and sleeping in a residential area is sketchy and they are right to at least check up on you. Content: would like to thank the police for illegally entering my parents house when I was in highschool. Due to the fact that you were convinced my underaged party was actually an ongoing burglary combined with your immediate transition into handing out underages to everyone means that I need to thank you. Thanks for the resulting settlement that meant I didn't have to pay for college. I guess its sorta ironic that a lot more underage drinking was supported by your funds.

Cops first drove me to the ER, then drove me home after I neatly wrapped my car around a lightpost ten years ago. They said something about charging me for reckless driving, but they dropped them once my bloodwork came back clean. For some reason the car was towed to my regular mechanic, and I have no idea how, but I never paid a cent for it. It sure as hell wasn't my insurance company, because they were never told about it. I just got a call from the shop asking if they were going to do an assessment, and that they needed my keys. ditty bout my clitty fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Nov 18, 2014 |

Hell, if the first cop (or any of them) had directed me to a rest area I would have been thrilled, it's a lot nicer napping in one of those well lit lots. (He didn't because there wasn't one). Nor are big box retailers conveniently positioned (the nearest one was probably 40+ minutes away at the time. They always seem to be 40+ minutes away)

If you are driving on high traffic interstate corridors it is typical to have rest areas ~1hr apart and places like Walmart are really good about putting their locations within a couple miles of an interstate exit (factors into supply chain models). However, if you start feeling tired after several hours of driving, pull over sooner rather than later. Cops trying to keep you off of a busy road is a safety thing (for your sake) and not them being dicks. Perhaps the delivery was poor (or misconstrued), but the fact is that they are watching out for you in those cases (except maybe the last one, feel free to get mad about that).

It was the middle of the night, and I was the only vehicle on the road aside from the cop and one other that passed me for the period I was pulled over. Not exactly a high traffic corridor outside of commuter hours, although it was an interstate highway. quote:a safety thing(for your sake) And now you are literally claiming that forcing a person who is too tired to drive safely to continue driving is "looking out for their safety".

Yeah, except you decided, 40 minutes prior, that you were fine to keep driving and totally could go further. Then decided to plop down on the side of the road. I also said that the safety thing was only something that I would apply to the interstate. Being in a parking lot is completely different. Feel free to reread though.

Nice try being angry, but it's not my problem if you can't find a place to sleep--if your alternative is continuing to drive. You don't get to haunt the freeways with your sleepy brain just because you're too stupid to figure out when and where to rest. Cops rousting vagrants is bullshit, but please don't try to make it an excuse for driving while impaired.
