That's usually the first thing I look into when I am considering a move to a new city.

Because some of us know some of them. District policy regarding revenue targets isn't the same thing as beat cops out trolling for dollars because they just like fleecing sheep. I could have been done for 75 in a 55 by B-Tron local, but they let me off due to circumstance (was being hounded by a car). I was even on my R6, so there was no question of who I was or what my hobbies were. Some cops are pigs, others are decent people looking out for our safety.

I figure he'd be more happy over at Freeperville. They like being unhinged over there. It's a sport.

If cops can patrol unmarked, we should be able to dress as cops

I remember a time when traffic enforcement officers were required to be in well marked, visible and distiguishable vehicles as a matter of law. The people we vote for changed this for no better reason that to sneak up and collect alternate taxes known as traffic fines.

You can, nothing stopping you. Long as you don't try making someone think you are a cop, you're good to go. Pay no attention to people telling you that you're a complete moron, what do they know, do it dude!!!

I'm ALL for ultra high profile police! What if I need to flag you down in an emergency, and all I see driving by is some douchebag in a fucking black SUV?

Is their a level of emergency that requires you to flag down only an officer? Just flag down anyone you can. Or just call the police yourself.

I'm going to go ahead and quote myself and see if I can rack up any more negative reps for not joining the "I hate cops" club. Mxyzptlk was the latest taker with "poor taste" as the comment. Anyone have anything better?

If it was up to me, there wouldn't be any marked cars at all. People shouldn't have to see a white and black car with lights on top and the word "POLICE" written all over in order to do the right thing and drive responsibly, and within the law.



It's not a business, it's law enforcement. If you don't break the law, you don't get any trouble.

Okay it is like a business:

Starbucks: You don't like their coffee? Think it costs way too much? Think it tastes like shit? Hate the music? Then don't fucking go in there.

Cops: You don't like getting pulled over for speeding? Don't speed.
You don't like tickets for little/integrated turn signals? Don't use little/integrated turn signals.
Don't like getting arrested for doing wheelies? Don't do wheelies.
Don't like getting hassled for a plate that is way up under your tail? Put it where you know damn well it should be.


It's the same stupid ass logic that people use when they sue for spilling hot coffee all over their crotch, or because they got cancer from smoking cigarettes, or the bag didn't say that it wasn't a toy, so I let my kid play with it. "well they didn't tell me that my actions would require the most basic of common knowledge and ability to conduct myself as a motherfucking adult. Therefore it is somebody else's fault"
