Back in the old days they called this highway robbery. Now it's "probable cause".

I had an officer in Costa Mesa, Ca offer to take my cashed paycheck after he pulled my wife over for no reason. I explained it to him tnhat I would be taing him as a prisoner in my car to hjis desk sargent along with my employer as a witness as to where my money came from. The a-hole changed his mind about things along with the 2nd officer at the scene. Sorry, I am intollerant of B.S. in the city where I live.

Blah blah, Jealous? Good for the cops! Less on the tax payers. See all you sheeple are too bust thinking you are better then the nexy guy/gal. Police are a team and undersatnd group thinking. Not my fault your life sucks because you are a selfish MO FO out for yourself to make yourself better than the next. Cops are cops. God Bless them. You are just sheep. Enjoy your satanic live sheep.

I'm happy to see this news channel reporting on something that actually matters. It may not have been the "sexy", "feel-good", etc... story, but it looks like they felt it was important and took the time to investigate and report it correctly. Good job.

Always use a recording device of some sort when you are being stopped Key chain cams are Great Easy to turn on in while driving , totally stealth can be placed in many locations to avoid detection Plus they are very inexpensive Get one for your friends for xmas and USE IT If the Cop is dirty steals from you or in any other way interfears with your constutional rights SUE the hell out of them because you DO have the evidence to back yourself up Otherwise your SOL and wide open for abuse

Like the chubby chinned officer said "...we take advantage of the law". The people should take advantage of the same laws and vote all of these "legal thieves" out of office!

The law enforcement officers i have dealt with over the years have been very professional and honest. The only time i ever had a problem with a very dirty cop was on I20 at Big Spring Texas back around 1990. I was stopped for running 65mph in a 55mph zone. This state trooper was a asshole to the highest degree, he told me i could give him $200.00 cash or go to jail with my truck impounded.

What choice do you have?
