Quote HistoryQuoted: His strawman was equating veteran license plates that have gone through a state's congressional voting process to institutionalized corruption by way of distributing courtesy cards Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: How about not being fucking corrupt? It's corrupt for an officer to have discretion? It's corrupt to give/have the cards/plates/badges/etc Either apply the same discretion across the board or not at all. There would be no use for the corruption gang cards So all the states that give veterans special license plates and markings on their licenses are corrupt in your eyes too... or are you picking and choosing? Alrighty then. Nice straw man, jack boot Please cite any local, state, or federal law that explicitly allows for the creation and distribution of courtesy cards. You can choose from literally any city, county, or state in the entire country. I'll wait Laws restrict what you're allowed to do. So if there's no law that means its allowed so..... His strawman was equating veteran license plates that have gone through a state's congressional voting process to institutionalized corruption by way of distributing courtesy cards I guess you're just going to overlook that states also have law enforcement support and organization license plates that "have gone through the congressional voting process" too. Picking and choosing... Yup. |

Around here the courtesy cards are actually badges that say "commissioner" on them.
I arrested a police commissioner's grand daughter once for a felony warrant completely unrelated to the call I had been dispatched to. Commissioner actually showed up to the scene because a family member called him. He was pretty cool about it but definitely let me know who he was. I responded by saying something like, "cool bro, her bond is $1000". I get done booking her and head back to the PD and let my LT know I arrested some chick for a felony warrant and some dude that claimed he was a commissioner showed up. You should have seen the LTs face. LT had to call the captain and chief at 3am because of me.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Should it be illegal for a less qualified person to be hired over a more qualified person - because they know the boss, owner, county commissioner, etc? Should it be illegal for me to go into the county permit office and get my permit approved quicker, because the office manager is one of my good friends mom? Should it be illegal for Trump to fire more qualified appointees and appoint less qualified ones based on the personal politics of the individual? Life isn’t fair, never was, never will be. It’s up to you to develop connections that benefit you in life. “But it shouldn’t be this way!” Oh? The perfect theoretical works doesn’t exist. And howling about but it should will get you no where.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I pulled over a car once, ran a stop sign. Walked up to the car, the driver was a Marine, in uniform. He already had his license out, and I was like, "Yeah, I don't need that. Watch those signs. Have a nice day." Uniform worked better than any card. Some people you just don't write. Never wrote cops, firemen, or military people. I let an Army captain go a few years ago on a borderline charge. Could have completely fucked him up, I think.

I can cut them a little slack based on their behavior, but being in the military isn't a free pass, just like being a cop isn't a free pass. I once stopped a USAF major, a pilot out of Dyess.

(11 at night on the interstate) He filed a complaint against me, wrote a letter to the governor and sent letters about his horrible experience to his entire chain of command who then filed ANOTHER complaint on his behalf.  |

Quoted: or other friendly entity. Say you get stopped...show the card...assuming you didn't kill someone they let you go. Or is this only on TV? What is a South Florida traditional is that some LE on their own accord will have a badge manufacturer make a "family badge" for their spouse or kid. It carries nothing in terms of professional courtesy.  It is mostly done as something to celebrate becoming a cop or getting a promotion. Since married folks usually have their spouse or kids pin the badge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When I was still working, many years ago, I pulled over a guy for speeding. While running his info he called the Sheriff (my boss, his buddy) who had dispatch tell me to call him. Guy was big in the St. Jude charity so Sheriff asked if I could let him slide, which I did. Didn't really like it, but there was no way for me to come out good any other way. "...and his Aviator sunglasses grew three sizes, that day!" Loss of respect for the boss and compromise of integrity is corrosive. The only "snitch" culture I think is valuable is that which publicizes this sort of low level corruption; if the guy, your boss, and St. Jude were all publicly embarrassed for throwing their weight around, they wouldn't do so again (or for more serious matters, which they almost inevitably have done) |

It's corrupt for an officer to have discretion? It's corrupt to give/have the cards/plates/badges/etc Either apply the same discretion across the board or not at all. There would be no use for the corruption gang cards So all the states that give veterans special license plates and markings on their licenses are corrupt in your eyes too... or are you picking and choosing? Alrighty then. Nice straw man, jack boot Please cite any local, state, or federal law that explicitly allows for the creation and distribution of courtesy cards. You can choose from literally any city, county, or state in the entire country. I'll wait Laws restrict what you’re allowed to do. So if there’s no law that means its allowed so..... And there are laws that specifically restrict courtesy cards. I assume from your username you are in California. California Penal Code Section 67.5 PC & 68 PC Someone acts with “corrupt intent” when they act in order to unlawfully gain a financial or other form of advantage for themselves or for someone else. I’m from Arizona. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I pulled over a car once, ran a stop sign. Walked up to the car, the driver was a Marine, in uniform. He already had his license out, and I was like, "Yeah, I don't need that. Watch those signs. Have a nice day." Uniform worked better than any card. Some people you just don't write. Never wrote cops, firemen, or military people. Makes sense, seeing as it's all about revenue anyway. No point in fining yourself. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It is a point in your favor, it means that at least you are not a career scumbag. Totality of the circumstances comes into play. As for the cards, that's a Yankee thing. Here, a thin blue line or a 100 club sticker on a hooptie is just a pathetic attempt to appear normal. LE can pull up criminal record when they run the plates so the LTC is pointless. You should know this. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you have ever been pulled over for a traffic violation but were sent on your way without a pinch, was the cop corrupt or derelict in his duties? Cops enjoy some discretion in how they perform their duties. I like that. I think it's a good idea to let them think for themselves. Otherwise, they would be required to shove the big blue weenie up everyone's ass. Formalized discretion is corruption. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I saw numerous people get out of a DUI arrest because they had a card when stopped by our precinct's DUI guys. I was referencing the silly LTC we have issued in TX. And we all know NYC is very corrupt so that doesn't surprise me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wow... that's abstract If you haven't been paying any attention to this country for the past decade, you would know we are on a crash course for a civil war. Shit... we're in cold civil war now, waiting to go hot. There are 2 sides. Those who worship the State and We The People. Us lowlife peasants don't care much for corruption from those that We employ Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: The country is due for a violent reset. The hard-working honest citizens appreciate you identifying early whose side you will be fighting for. There is is folks, the "I'm gonna kill you over a traffic ticket somebody else didn't get" post. I'm surprised it took this long. Wow... that's abstract If you haven't been paying any attention to this country for the past decade, you would know we are on a crash course for a civil war.

I stand a better chance of having Heidi Klum show up on my doorstep in lingerie that you getting that "Boog" you salivate about. Good luck.  Just a note, I'm 62. I was hearing that same BS from guys just like you at gun counters when I was 19. There wasn't a civil war when Carter was president and there will not be one now. |
