OK - he had the first person stopped ON CAMPUS, on University Drive, near T.R. Solomon Street/Avenue. He spins a U-ey, and zooms up behind her [Bland], STILL ON CAMPUS, at the light at Owens Road. She doesn't go more than a block before he pops his light, after she attempted to get out of his way (on his presumed "duty call").
He tells "the person" in the first stop that they need to "get with his/her dad" to send him/her an email to get that copy of the insurance.
He then starts asking personal questions, and it sounds like a she answering, and he has this strange disingenuous laugh. Of course, it COULD be a guy that he's hitting on - "not that there's anything wrong with that"....
I'll bet his superiors reviewed that video, and threw up in their mouths a little.
Probably why he got gigged for it.
I think you are looking for fault for the PD. That’s ok...everyone disagrees. Because I see fault on both sides.
I think people, if they see a police car, should just pull over, and exit their vehicle, locking it, and walk into the nearest area away from the police. Or maybe employ some other strategy to minimize their control over your day-to-day business.
Pretending that there's not a giant crowd of overpaid, interfering busybody jerkweeds just ain't cutting it.
I rolled down 5 blocks this evening to get gasoline, and saw a Sheriff's deputy vehicle, and a State Police vehicle.
They're like Jardinains - they're EVERYWHERE.
Or of course...you could be polite and comply. Challenge unwarranted behavior in court, etc.at an appropriate time. Not on the side of the road.
But that’s just me.
(I actually envy your police presence. I wouldn’t be annoyed at all if they were on my neck of the woods.)
