Thread is GD AF.

Three hour fishing trip is bullshit to any reasonable person or standard.

Kid was speeding and got the paper for it.

Cops continue to undermine their brand and value to society with this kind of stuff.

Same as it ever was.

Quoted:
If I were a drug runner I would absolutely pay clean law abiding folks to take road trips up and down that corridor by having them “win” destination driving trips.

For the cost of 50k worth of vacations I could move millions while the Johnny Laws strip search grandma and junior.

C’mon man, it has been happening for years.

I used to get hassled by the cops all the time when I was younger. I've had my car torn apart looking for drugs only to come up empty handed. Cops fuck with kids. That's just how it is. Lots of people here talking about suing, getting a lawyer, etc. Good luck with that.

I found a way to fuck with them back when I was around 20 years old. It's free and it works. Have your son call the D.A.'s office and let them know that he will be coming to court over the speeding ticket and if possible he would like to enter a not guilty plea over the phone. Two days before the court date, he should call and ask to reschedule since he is out of town. Two days before the next court date, do it again. Keep doing it for a year if he can and when they finally demand that he actually show up, he should put on his Sunday best, be respectful and request a trial date. Why do this? TO WASTE THEIR TIME!!. They owe your son a few hours of his life. Take it back! By cancelling at the last minute, his name should still be on the docket and the cop has top be present in court. There's also the chance that the cop might not want the scrutiny during a trial and he may ask the D.A. to just drop it. I've had had D.A.'s tell me to just pay court costs and they'll throw out the ticket. The worst case scenario is that he loses in trial and has a bullshit little speeding ticket on his record. Even if that happens, he will have wasted as much of their time as they did his.

Quoted:

    Rodriquez v. US, a seizure justified only by a police-observed traffic violation “becomes unlawful if it is prolonged beyond the time reasonably required to complete the mission” of issuing a ticket for the violation. This means that you have to let someone go after you complete writing the ticket.

The important is question, can I leave now? If not why ?

By all means, everyone do this. It's a minimum 4 hours of OT for an officer here. We sit in the lounge and watch the Sci Fi channel.  I've bought many a gun with court OT.

Quoted:

Who's budget does the OT come from?

Quoted:

Drag the officer and dog into court, ask the officer what the dog does whin it indicates drugs. Bring in a sample kit and have the dog find a sample in the court room in front of the jury. When the dog does not indicate the same way as the officer said it would or not at all, your son wins..
How do I know, you ask? Well I will tell you . That
is what happened  to a K-9 officer that I knew.
He got his ass handed to  him in court because his dog didn't indicate the way he said it would. His case was thrown out and the guy he  tickled
and arrested for another charge ( no drugs found) walked.

you know what would really piss me off about that encounter if it was me, is the fact they rummaged through all my shit and didn't even bother to fucking put it back!!!

i hear about it and saw it on livepd again and again, cops just toss ur shit then leave it lay in the fucking dirt and road while they peace out after finding jack shit.

My 21-year-old son has been on a road trip the last few days heading from ATX to Big Sky, MT.

He's a senior at UT in Austin and got a job for the summer working at the Big Sky Lodge, he has been stoked for weeks to get on the road and see that part if the country.  He and his girlfriend, and their cat left ATX yesterday.

I gave him some fatherly advice before he left, I let him know he was driving a known drug corridor with out of state plates and was going to be pulled over if he wasn't extremely careful with his driving.  Of course, I was right.

As they drove West out of Billings this afternoon, he noticed a Dodge Durango had been following them for about 30 miles.  At some point as he accelerated to pass a few trucks the Durango lit him up.  The vehicle was unmarked, so my son dialed 911 to confirm the car was actually a real officer, they confirmed that it was, and my son pulled over.

A plain clothes officer with a canine approached the car and immediately commanded my son the exit the vehicle, did not ask for license, or registration, just demanded that he exit the vehicle (I get it the cop was pissed he didn't pull over immediately). He was cuffed and placed in the back of the unmarked unit, meanwhile the girlfriend is hysterical in the passenger seat.  The officer call for a female back up to search the girlfriend, which takes an hour, and then she is cuffed and placed in the back of the Durango. While that was going on the dog alerts on the vehicle, or maybe just got excited by the cat in the car, and the officer decides he has cause to perform a search.

The officer and the backups spend 3 hours removing every piece of luggage and searching every item in the luggage (the car was stuffed full as he was staying for the summer), and finally, after finding nothing, and leaving all their belongings on the side of the road writes him a ticket for 10 over and tells him to slow it down.

I get it, it's a drug corridor but my kid does not fit the profile, both had paperwork that they were employed for the summer, they had a real destination, my son has a clean driving record, and no criminal record, they had the cat, driving a Honda Pilot, the search was just not necessary in my opinion.

I'm far from a cop hater, I respect the police, they have a tough job, but sometimes they just do shit that I don't get.  

I guess we should be happy that he didn't bring any cash with him for them to relieve him of.

I know, cool story, Bro.

LE or 911 call taker experience? I am guessing no if you think multiple channels, multiple agencies, and a single call center function with ease.

He was not charged with drugs.  There is no court case to take to court.

The silver lining is the GFs family is filthy rich.  They are like vacation homes in Hawaii, Aspen, and Idaho and their own private jet rich.

Pretty sure the not pulling over right away lit the fuse.  Or maybe the officer didn't like cats.
