I see why some people hate cops with a passion...

[annguyen1981]

I was moving my bike from the driveway (kinda behind the house) to the side street so people can see that the bike is for sale.

While I ws walking the bike to the spot, a cop sees me and decides to head towards me.  He pulls up next to me.

Pig:  I don't want to see you riding on that bike.
Me:  (Thinking he was kidding, cause it was around 25 degrees outside...)  Not today,  it's too cold.
Pig:  I don't want to see you riding on that bike without a helmet.
Me:  (Wanted to say 'No shaZam! Sherlock') Yeah...

@$$hole.  I wish I did comment to him about his stupidity and to go find someone breaking the law...

[bubba zanetti]

But it worked cause you wont ride without a helmet will you

[annguyen1981]

I would never ride on the streets without one anyway.  Even if MA took away the helmet law, I'd still ride with one.

Parking lots going 5-10 mph is another story.  I haven't done it in a LONG time though.

Side street as in public street? Helmet law in MA? If both are the case, then you WERE breaking the law, and it sounds as though you're lucky  he didn't ticket you. If he did cut you a break, and if you weren't moving the bike 100% legally, then why the hate? I'm not trying to bust your ba....chops; I'm just trying to give a different perspective...

[annguyen1981]

oh, but I was moving the bike legallly...  walking beside it without the engine on.

In THAT case, that cop needs to go find a donut shop and get his blood sugar up, cuz he's trippin'!

Do you look like a punk or sumpin?

If you have a helmet law in your state you better put the helmet on before you even mount the bike   if you are pushing it.. as silly as it sounds.. you need to have a helmet on  

Just like sitting in your car.. even without the keys in it.. to be legal you have to have your seatbelt on 

You are lucky the cop was cool enough to warn you.

Being a cop in the Airforce I hate to see people post here ripping on the police all the time. While there may be some bad cops, most are here to honestly protect you! Remember your own post when someone snags your bike or hurts someone you love and you have to call them to help you. Just hope they havent read your post...Revenge is sweet... even sweeter if you have a badge

A pig is a pig is a pig.  

belive it or not there are good cops out there! there just not around because there hang out with big foot  

ha ha scottpA_GS posted that while i was typing mine
Ill mention i had a mustang stolen last year, they found it two days later... well the frame that is. want to know what the cop told me when i saw it "well thats too bad" haha cops 
ann didnt do anything wrong, cops just have to get that power fix now and then.

[annguyen1981]

I don't have the police.  I have MANY police friends.  I wave at police cruisers when I go by, even if I don't know them...

I just dislike THAT officer.  He saw me from about four blocks away, made a u-turn, and he made it a point to drive over and harass me.

[RVertigo]

I don't hate all  cops...  Just the ones that pull me over, give me tickets, and/or arrest me.

[scottpA_GS]

I still have to say... he was looking out for you... If he wanted a "power fix" or just to F^@k w/ you.. he would have gotten out of the car and found a reason to ticket you.

Did you have your MC Licence on your person? If no ... Ticket
Did you have proof of insurance on your person? If no ... Ticket
Did you have a helmet with you? If no ... Ticket
Was the bike 100% state inspection legal If no ... Ticket
Still have valid plates? If no ... Ticket
Proper signals and lighting? If no ... Ticket

on and on...

Trust me... If he wanted to ruin your day he could have

What did he do to you? Nothing.... Just like 100 people on this site he was just making sure you wear your gear  

for him to take time out of his day to make sure you are being a safe rider you are mad?

Just for you Blu we'll start a petition to disband all police forces because there are no good 'pigs' & the world will be a better place Eh

[RVertigo]

Totally scottpA_GS!

I mean...  It's not like he's a Bellevue, WA cop...  They'll ticket you for j-walking, "cal" stops, burned out LP light... and all kinds of other stupid shaZam!.

Like... WTF?  You got nothing better to do than follow a '69 bug for 12 miles?

OK...  I'm only mad 'cause all but one ticket I've had was in Bellevue.    And the one that wasn't, I totally deserved.

[scottpA_GS]

 

Yep.. Its one thing to cite you.. another to warn you

no...  he was an ass.  I've been told stuff for my benefit, and I've been told stuff because they were an ass.  He was being an ass.  I'm sorry this offends you Scott, but not all cops are good.  It's a sad fact.  They are people after all.

And yes, he could have ruined my day, and then I'd ruin his life in court.  I'm not the kind of person to sue.  I try to settle things without that crap.  I even was going to the PD to file a complaint, but what's the point???

[scottpA_GS]

Right....  You said it your self   What did he do wrong? Beat you? call your mommy names? What would you have to complain about that would hold up in court? Nuff said

Ok An the time has come to use your two hands, build a bridge & get over it
