Sign the ticket!
I like to say it's been nice talking to both of you.
Yes, I'd really like to.
Goodbye
It is not so much a question of degree as much as direction.
"Sign the ticket!"
Why? I wasn't speeding. I am not even driving.
Lololol. :-) I see your point.
Couldn't have put that any better myself.
I thought it odd that she refered to her baby as a fetus too! Geez, by the time your eight months along you've got a name picked out and a nursery ready - how weird!
It looks like you got plenty of answers in your question to me, all of which support my assertion that it was wrong to taser an eight month pregnant woman. The woman could have been arrested at home at a later time, or perhaps backup should have been called in this case. I'll ask my son, who is a police officer, what he would have done, and report back to this thread.
"See...you did it again. Aloha."
Auf Wiedersehen comrad
Thanks for the clarification. About a year ago, I did a rolling stop in an unfamiliar location, I got lost and had to turn around on a side street. I was pulled over by a Chesapeake police officer who approached my SUV with hand on gun. I always have get the willies around police even though I am (usually) a law abiding citizen. I remembered the DWB rules to survival, I kept my hands on the steering wheel, made no sudden movements and complied with his requests politely. ... we should all remember these rules
HA, HA. Did you see the Chris Rock video on how not to get arrested? One of the ways was to not drive with a woman. The sample video then shows the guy getting stopped and the BWOCS in the passenger seat gets him seriously mauled by the arresting officers. I had tears streaming from my eyes I laughed so hard.
Sorry about the erroneous duplicate reply. Your approach definitely would have been better than the taser.
I was thinking the Oleoresin Capsicum nebulizer therapy might have done the trick.
>>You can see 300 yards in both directions.<<
What about kids with jet-packs?
BTW, 20 IS slow enough for me to avoid a kid coming out from a parked car - if I'm looking for it...
>>It is not so much a question of degree as much as direction.<<
That true. I think it is both.
Thanks-I try to help people understand what happens and why
As you can see, the "All cops are Nazi Tax Collectors" types have gravitated here.
They can be amusing, but the song pretty much stays on one note. I find that bothering them with facts can have disappointing results
I'm Kumeyaay (Southern California Indian).
I am very dark-skinned, and I have some mestizo ancestry, so I look like I may be an illegal.
I sometimes get greeted in Spanish (which I don't speak) if BP/ICE pulls me over...
I concentrate on being very polite, and not making sudden moves.
One advantage is that where I am is pretty rural, and I know the (very few) sheriff deputies who patrol this region. So they recognize me...but I still stay cool, level-headed, and polite. They're usually asking if I've seen something they're interested in.
Never have a problem.
She sounds too spicey already........Just needs tenderizing !........:o)
BTW, the way to handle POMS is to announce at dinner "Nobody's checking out to play this weekend until this pigsty is cleaned up!"
