Hey y'all, sorry about my rant. I love cop humor as much as the rest. I guess I am just sick of all the crap talking about how corrupt we all are. I dont like being lumped in with POS's in this profession. Just like I am sure we, as riders, dont like being lumped in with the people who make our sport/pastime/lifestyle seem bad. Unfortunately, in my current position, I have had to investigate fellow cops for misdeeds and criminal acts. They do not get any special treatment and I have arrested those who needed arresting. I was also taking out a bit of frustration caused by our wonderful governor. He has told us (Nevada LEO's) that we will not fly flags, at state facilities at half staff, and we will not shroud our badges in honor of the Oakland guys who were killed.
I would be proud to ride with anyone on this site, and I am not a stickler for the traffic laws. In fact when I was a patrol cop, I used to get written up for not writing enough tickets. I like to drive a bit fast, and I find it hypocritical to write someone for speeding, when I have been known to do it. Now I really wanted to write a ticket to the idiot (State Legislator) I saw driving with his knees while using both hands to eat a bowl of icecream. I was off duty and being a detective, I dont have a ticket book, but I figured this was probably one of the guys sponsoring the bill to keep drivers from texting.
