Don’t these stupid cops have GPS? Google Maps? Any intelligence?
“That seemed to give the officers some pause,”
L.O.L.
3:30 Knock on the door.
Are you Sam P.?
No.
Is Sam P. Here?
No.
Does Sam P. live here?
No.
Do you know a Sam P.?
No.
OK, sorry to bother you.
Um, can I ask you a question?
Yeah, I suppose so.
What’s this about, why did you come here?
We have a warrant for his arrest, and he registered a car to this address.
Oh, OK, have a nice evening, morning whatever it is [it’s so hard to tell on outer space]...
Three of the biggest cops I’ve seen in a while. Two of which where in the shadows.
Sucks to be Sam P...
Alex Clemens founded Barbary Coast Consulting, a public affairs firm, in 2003. He's worked in government, private industry, telecom, advocacy, private investigations, and education. Back in 1995, right after Al Gore invented the Internet, Alex invented the Usual Suspects, San Francisco's political homepage. He's got lots of opinions, and he occasionally shares one here on the CMR.
wow, I take it your never opened your door? and I take it they never entered?
Great compilation.
I opened the door, but not the screen door.
Same as when they showed up at 10:30 PM a week later.
Knock on my door. Right now my temporary resident, formerly a permanent resident, is a govt bomb-sniffing/explosives dog with big teeth and, when necessary, an attitude.
She’ll be glad to “take a bite out of crime”, police crime.
Idiots!
ANd my son is a good cop!
PS: We babysit a lot of animals. Wonna see our Boa Constrictor? Sorry, the python has left the building.
Fortunately they didn't own a dog, but their pet goldfish was declared DOA.
lol, in my post, I was talking about the couple in the article and their new baby...
But I can empathize with you on yours. I was in the process of buying a couple of acres on the side of a lake to build my retirement cabin. It had had a mobile home on it previously, and it had beautiful just plain wrought iron fencing already built around it, which you need for there for the deer. It had a water well, meter loop, septic tank, et al already on it, and the price was fabulous. It also had a big concrete slab right in the middle of it. And the day before I was to sign the papers for it, I went to make sure I had the right measurements on the slab cuz I wanted to make sure how big a pre-cut log cabin kit I could order and put in front of the slab so I could use it, instead of digging it up.
Annnnyway, I was measuring away like a happy camper and enjoying the prospect of my new happy home, when two big black vans show up and agents march right over to the corner of my lot and start digging away. lol
To make a too long story short, the prior owner had been a mid-level drug dealer and evidently they were getting info out of the jail on his stash. When I asked them if they might have to come dig again, they could not assure me that they wouldn’t. ROFL
I went ahead and bought it anyway. I’m not afraid of much. And haven’t had any problems for three years...so far.
That’s what made me think of the prior owner druggie across the street in that article, lol
can we all say.....Keystone Kops...
you skipped that part. I take it they didn’t enter the second time?
You got yerself a metal detecter and are sweeping the property though, aren’t ya?
No. But that one doesn’t count, they were at the correct address for a recent former roommate.
And this time it was two female cops and a male lurking in the shadows.
It shouldn’t happen at all, even to someone who happens to be rolling, smoking or selling a doobie.
Is it just me or is the I.Q. tests/education standards of modern law enforcement dropped over the last few years ?
It used to be that you had to at least be able to read at something approximating the 8th grade level so you could at least read a street address .
It is obvious that this is no longer the case.
Being able to read would be a good start but in this day & age that is to much to hope for from either the locals or the Famous But Incompetent.
Really? That’s a question?
