She got "uppity" because she had no idea who or what he was. If some idiot in an unmarked vehicle flashed a badge at me and told me to pull over, I'd be scared to death, too, and I'd keep on driving until I got to a safe place. I'd agree with you if this had been a uniformed police officer in a police car, but it wasn't.
Is there an EPA legislation that authorizes Agents to pull people over for percieved speeding, then refuse to give name and badge number?
How about the IRS? Is this one of their duties as well?
This kind of unprofessional law enforcement is the exact thing that gets women raped and causes the public to lose confidence in their public officials.
After going back and forth with the "cop" who kept telling her to get out the car and yet refusing to show his badge, she finally just put the car in gear and took off straight to a police station.
Needless to say, he didn't follow her. She finds out at the station there is someone running around acting like a cop and pulling women over, telling them to get out of the vehicle and then rapes them.
So be smart out there, gals. Go at a respectable speed to somewhere where there's others around, keep the doors locked, windows up, and cellphone ready. The creeps are out there.
Sorry you took offense. I have no information the speeding woman was a bimbo. Therefore I will call her a twit... just kidding. How about someone who wasn't paying attention to a school zone and endangering the life of children. There, feel better?
I don't consider maxing out at 35 MPH in a school zone equal to "endangering children" with an automobile. Going 35 MPH is, in my opinion, driving pretty slow.
35 in a school zone is pretty slow? What happens over 40, you spill your beer? Sorry, no freebies on speeding in school zones.
I just read the article. You are exactly right. This guy was out of his power of authority.I think they need to dig into this and see what his real motive was, if they can.
I suspect this guy may have had something on his mind besides kids safty, ya know?
It may have been a real good thing for her that day having a cell phone to call her family when this happened.
Absolutely correct! I wouldn't have stopped either. Just b/c he "flashes a badge" doesn't mean a thing. No uniform, no badge. WTH!
Someone w/o a life!
Whoops! Should be "SAFETY." Doh!
Yes. Get a grip.
No, you misunderstand.
I did not take offense, I simply wish that we (as a group) withold our attacks for those that have demonstrated a uniqueness in qualifying for labels.
Examples:
John F'n Kerry. Is there any doubt in your mind that he is a horse's ass? He demonstrates it daily and his record proves it.
Terayza. She has demonstrated on many occasions that she is a idiot. Her actions and bleatings are indicative of a sweat hog status. This we know, this we cannot deny.
Hitlery. Needs no elaboration. Simply posting her name is enough. She has been labeled so much that we have exhausted our repertoire.
And the list is endless. I do not hesitate to label those that have publicly demonstrated an overwhelming qualification for such.
As for the lady in the story; twit may apply, since she showed little in the way of intelligent thinking by endangering children, assuming there were children in the area to be endangered.
Now the EPA agent is a horse of a different color.
Obviously, he is a self-admitted idiot by accepting employment in an armed agent status for a federal agency concerned with whether or not someone complies with overly-restrictive and downright silly regulations pertaining to, say the amount of arsenic residue in a treated piece of lumber, just in case someone were to eat it.
Of course, we, as conservatives, should question ourselves as to why and how we have allowed the EPA to get to a point where they would feel a need to be armed against the citizens of these United States.
I'll stop now, my head hurts.
Our Federal governement is way to big and way to involved in affairs that should be under its waterline and intrudes into affairs of states and now cities and towns.
Is she cute? That used to happen here...
Very well put.
I didn't see any pics of her and have no idea what she looks like.
WE could use him right here in RENO, he would be right at home.
I agree completely.
Umm, let me guess: "Speed limits are unconstituitional infringements on my liberty which soldiers are dying for even now, and besides, no blood no foul."?
Speed demons - and in a school zone, even one MPH over the limit is demonic - ought to be strung up and their heads put on pikes.
