Because if there is an equipment issue on their cruisers they report it and the vehicle is maintenanced.

And to be honest unless it is a safety issue the officers often just issue a warning or tell the person to show proof it was fixed and the ticket would be dropped. Not always but often.

I meant if the Officer was off duty. Not in their cruiser.

No no no. This isn't about the employees at the Shake Shack. That comment was specifically made about the cops just doing their jobs. And cops have done far more than just hand out silly citations. They have also been behind the loss of life and gone unpunished.


This is what I was replying to:


That had nothing to do with equipment citations, nor does the larger conversation just revolve around that subject.

so has civilians yet you do t rail against them. There are bad in every thing. Cops seem to be a hit button issue with you. I wonder why that is.

And again, that is just one aspect of the animosity. Your comment was a dismissive one "they're just doing their jobs"... That covers everything from ticket writing to "we used the proper amount of force on to subdue the suspect".

What are they going to do fine the city they work for?

There is absolutely no chance that a civilian would receive such preferential treatment.
Busted windows and a busted face, or worse, would be how this would go down.

How is a mindless button man (whatever that is) worse than the overflowing buckets of trash protesting in that video? Gotta love the BLM black "protester" saying the things he does to the lady cop.....misogyny doesn't count for certain groups though.

I don't know of too many civilian jobs that allow them to detain people and use lethal force. Not saying there are none, I am saying I don't know of too many. And I'm sure even those people are held to a higher standard if they screw up than these cops.

I think you missed my point maybe I didn’t explain it right. Civilians kill people every day all day long but you don’t say anything about it. You (and I mean you vaguely) don’t want us quit calling us and STOP BReaking the law. You will never interact with us)

I was responding to one statement, it was not an overarching condemnation or endorsement. And it was dismissive, traffic cops enforcing federal, state and local ordinances regarding vehicles in the road is their job. It's what they should be doing. Let's hold them accountable when they go too far and put people at risk, not criticize them for doing what they should be doing.

That is so the judge can live high on the hog when he retires. That's another issue seperate from police issues. Don't like the court costs, and I'm not a fan either, try to have them abolished, expose them for what they are, the judges pension fund.

They almost always give them a warning, sure. Probably much more often than they do civilians. If that really what we're worked up over?

My sister is retired LEO in NYC.
The stuff I’ve seen and heard about is criminal. There is no “probably” about anything here.
The excuse that they are only enforcing the law is invalidated by the fact that they themselves are very rarely charged when off duty.

The law is still valid, the argument would be it isn't enforced on law enforcement equitably. I'm sure that's a valid assessment, probably even more so in places like NY.

They were both talking ish to each other. Cops are so thin skinned, one case of hurt feelings = a baton to the head.

I think what some of you are missing is your making a broad sweeping statement and it pisses good officers off. It pisses me off. Up north some depts allow officers to have two alcoholic beverages with their dinner. Which I think is wrong. Then that officer gets behind the wheel and arrests someone for dui. Come on really. I don’t agree with dui checkpoints that’s why I’ve never done one But pulling someone over and detaining them to find out if their truthful with you. Yeah it’s a good idea. I’ve arrested people Wanted for child rape and every thing else by following up on what they said. Criminals lie all day everyday. And the child rape guy was a dentist

You expose the Average Joe to court costs by handing them silly tickets and citations. It is a horrible way to make a living.

I would imagine most people don’t even go to court. That means they have to miss a day of work which winds up costing them more. So it’s just more profit for the police department.
