Police officers are trained manipulators. They take classes to learn how to read peoples body language and how to ask open-ended and innocent-sounding questions in order to surreptitiously obtain information they can use against you.
They also have a knowledge of the laws that you dont possess and laws differ from State to State, and even from one jurisdiction in a State to another. Police have also been known to invent laws, place evidence that can be linked to you and twist your words into meaning something you did not intend.

Cops would be even more dangerous if gifted and genius IQ people were invited on the force. As it is, they are like bumbling, amiable beagles, if they haven’t had a lousy day. The worst police can usually do is to arrest you, then it’s chucked into the hands of the judicial system, in which the true evil geniuses so often reside.
I'm glad they're going after criminals, rioters, thieves, rapists, mass murderers - and yeah, even those folks who think they can drive 60 mph in a school zone.
I am tired of paying police departments to babysit certain high crime areas - and strongly feel neighborhoods should pay for police protection based on usage. We don't 'share' a collective water bill - and there's no reason we should have to pay a 'shared' bill for police protection when some people use a lot more than others...

The mistake was “being” in DC.
Not all police are your enemy. I have known our local constable since childhood. I know several of the Sheriff’s Office personnel, and the County Judge and District Attorney are old family friends. I do not fear the police.
Now I have met individual officers who were exceptions to this. But not many.

Sure hope you never find out who's using ambulances for taxi service.

I understand your attitude. But there is another side to the coin.
I have been *harassed* by the police and accused of lying while on my own property (a good neighborhood BTW) because a low life gave my last name and address when arrested, then apparently jumped bail.
The brilliant Lakeland, FL police department was too stoopid to verify anything the man told them before cutting him loose. They sent multiple cars and officers to my home and treated me like sh*t. Looking back, I realize I was fortunate they didn’t break my door down and cuff me in my living room.
Did I feel safer knowing these (gun toting) clowns were “protecting” me? Duh.
Trust me, when they do this to you, it’s hard to be rah rah about idiots wearing uniforms and carrying firearms.
Watch those TV shows like Cops , Bait Car and P.O.V, you’ll see LOL
I reject this notion that if you criticize something you are morally obligated to present a fully formed and thought out alternative.
This is not a think tank. This is a forum for citizens to get stuff off their chest and share information.
All written by brilliant, if PC idiotic, writers. Not saying it never happens, but I believe the first prize for true evil genius ought to go to prosecutors’ offices (they’re the folks who make the twisted cases in the courts), and sometimes to cynical judges, but seldom to police and detectives.
Good advice, but the Diana Avera chick from the story is an idiot or a liar. You don’t confess to making meth to keep your grandkids out of temporary police custody.
Our police state is going out of control. Most have lost respect for your Constitutional rights and will use investigative methods that will distort what you do or say to get an arrest.

As an ex-cop, im not crazy about them and don’t associate with them. I was deputized as a us marshal. Major illegal shit happened. They get the bad guys, but not legally..
Yes. I’m usually more careful...
I think you’re right. But it’s still a good idea to be very careful what you say to the police, because they’ll put it in their report and then the prosecutors will have more stuff to twist and distort.
Thank you so much for the links.
Those *talks* are classic legend ...and ya knnow what? Using the info in them works. :)
