Mark, I must say, That WAS a very very good discription of the typical shift of a police officer. It is so nice NOT to be in that stream

I saw an episode of COPS today where they were doing an undercover sting of male prositutes in west hollywood.
They had an undercover cop in a limo driving around soliciting gay male prositutes. They busted this one guy who had been out of jail for the same crime only one hour (he had been in for 6 months).
They showed part of his trial where a psychiatrist was testifying that the guy was HIV positive and knew it when he was out soliciting. He also testified that the guy had said he didn't care, he hopes everyone gets it.
They said at the end of the show that the guy was charged with felony prostitution and the case was thrown out of court by a federal judge on a technicality.
That is why I couldn't be a cop. I couldn't take doing the same work over and over because someone else kept undoing it.
This guy is out there right now knowingly infecting people with HIV, when everybody knows he's guilty of this crime, but because the cop didn't tie his shoelaces right that morning or something the case gets thrown out of court.
Man, convicting criminals who are caught red handed is almost as hard as getting building permits. Who could put up with that.
God bless you guys for doing that job, but half of the people out there I'd have to deal with as a cop would make me go ballistic. It takes a special person for that job.

A majority of Police Departments have very high standards and do extensive background investigations on candidates before hiring them. You notice that I said majority not all departments. The same is true when it comes to training. Most departments have extensive training both in the Police Academy and "OJT" (On the Job Training) after graduating from the academy. Again I said "Most". It sounds like there is a good possibility that the officer lacked both proper training and or didn't meet the high standards required of an officer in today's world. If his department's administration refuses to investigate your complaint....file a complaint with the local state police and they will do an independant investigation.

Did the cops car have a video camera? If so it should prove your case. At least on atttitude. If it has a camera and there is no tape, I would ask why? Would think a jury would wonder also.
Is it possible there was a sign for the intersection and the hay load blocked your view of it? If the cop was sitting on a road then it probably was an intersection.
I have no idea how hard it could be to be a cop alone in the field. You have no idea what he had just run into or a buddy of his did.
We all expect them to be professional but they are humans and often have a chip to prove they are the MAN.
Hope you well.

I like the idea of cops being 30 years or older. Preferably with army experience as a commanding officer. With exemplary character as evidenced by multiple references. And no women. And give them six figures to start. Then we won't have to complaing about asshole cops. One bad one ruins the reputation for 99 good ones.

I never wrote a speeding ticket unless they were doing 10+ over and then it was usually dependent on passing the "hello test".
Mark, I just now read that and I had a good laugh. I was the same way only it was Good Morning, Good afternoon (whatever) followed by a sufficient pause. Heaven help those that didn't answer.
