I know that some of you are police officers, but do the rest of you ever wish you had a badge?
There are times I wish I could pull over some of these morons out there and beat them with a night stick!

Riding today, car in front of me, car behind. Going straight through an intersection when these kids in a bmw roadster came up beside me in the right turn only lane and decided to go straight. Forcing me into oncoming traffic and laughing about it the whole time. Thank god the car behind me saw this and let me in. Next light I pulled up next to them and said "Play with your own life a$$hole, not with mine!" They thought that was funny too. Probibly stoned.[:@]
Ruined the nice ride I was having.

 

Sounds like a bad deal & glad you are ok, but to answer the question given...NO.

Take care,

Often wish I could write tickets. My neighbor hood is 25 mph posted, school area. Idiots who think posting is 40 mph or above with kids playing. Idiots who go through stop signs, especially with cell phones to their small brained ears. I worked with seniors, elderly for years, get them off the road when driving becomes irratic or re test. Punks who have no controll of their autos, except for gas pedal.

 

Sometimes I wish I could find something else to do with the same money and job security I have now. Want my badge? Been doing it for 16 years now.

 

I did it for 7 years in the suburbs of Detroit. No thanks. I had enough of that.

 

Sometimes for a day.... just to write that "one" ticket to that one idiot that is just being completely stupid.

What's worse is being retired L/E and no longer having the ability to pull over the a$$holes. Talk about frustrating![:@]

 

Like dawg, I somtimes wish I wasn't a cop. Our hands are tied, but then again we know what the rules are.

 

As an older officer, I found that it is just too much of my time and effort to stop and write someone when I am off duty. There are too many idiots out there doing what you saw everyday, every hour, everywhere to concern yourself with any of them. You learn to just ignore that sort of behavior and maneuver yourself to not be endangered by them. I look the other way even when I am on my way to/from work. If some one's life is endangered, I might step in and start a "police stop", but if not, I'm out of there. Even if I am on duty, I am assuming a lot of 'risk and liability' in making any sort of stop. Why should I assume that same risk and liability if I am not on duty?

Most states have some sort of "citizens arrest" law. Find out how your state law reads and try it out sometime. You will regret ever even considering the possibility. ................ BC
