My buddy got pulled over the other night, two other cop cars show up before the original officer finally goes up to his window. He says he has a headlight out. My friend is pretty damn sure he doesn't, but he didn't want to start anything. The cop goes back into his car for 45 minutes and comes back with a warning ticket. All the cops finally leave.

He checks both his headlights and they're working just fine. Takes a picture with them and the ticket.

Like. What even happened here? Cops/former cops have any insight as to why the cop was lying here?

Two possibilities:

1) the officer had one of his eyes closed

2) he was supposed to meet a contact/informant/illegal business partner matching your friend's description, but realized he had the wrong guy.

He thinks he got pulled over because he drives a white crown Vic and the cop thought he was going to get an easy bust. :)

Hey I've got a ADOT that profiles me in my dump truck. I have a power T on my bug deflector. He picks me out of all of us running together.

Damn piggie fans and their hatred of the vols for the 1998 game. They just can't seem to let it go. :)

Arkansas snatched defeat from the jaws of victory there. The football spirits were on our side that day.

Yep. If you don't wanna be profiled don't fit a stereotype.

Left the Joe one night with my Ex-Girlfriend. I have a Carson-Newman license plate border on my back plate and a UT Vanity Plate on the front. Turn the Corner, get flashing lights. He comes up, of course, doesn't smell alcohol on me (I took one sip of my ex's drink that night although it was the night we lost to Vandy so I should have been drinking). Mr. THP then proceeds to walk around my car looking for something he can charge me with so he doesn't look stupid for pulling over the obvious Christian School party Animal.

I was profiled and stopped in downtown Atlanta during freaknick once. I've felt the pain..

With all the perverts, pedophiles and general scumbags running around nowadays I'd say she was negligent, an hour and twenty minutes is an eternity when a child is involved. Hope she learns something from this ordeal.

I don't think you're going to get a lot of agreement on this one. This isn't Hometown USA where kids ride their Huffy through the neighborhood down to the corner store and pick up a soda from Bob the friendly owner that knows their parents. It's NYC, was over an hour and the kid was seven years old.

It's a pretty obvious case at this point.

Yeah, definitely a case of negligence. That store and its employees are not her babysitters.

Holy hell, dude. It's no different then when I was a kid, or when my parents were kids. It's still really small odds of stranger danger.

Of course it's negligence. Letting your kids watch too much TV is negligent.

Was it criminal negligence? There is no reason to believe the kid was in probable danger. Kidnappings are not that common and 75% of them are perpetrated by people who know the child.

Unless you can prove the kid was in real and present danger (like being left in a hot car in the summer) then it can't be criminal negligence.
