PROPER RESPONSE:
“Officer, if you believe you need to arrest me, please do so now. Do not waste your valuable time yelling at me and trying to scare me. We will let the jury sort it all out.”

That said, many times law enforcement officers hope to correct bad behavior by putting the fear of the long arm of the law into you. If it works, fine. If it fails, it was a waste of breath. And then there’re those rare occasions when they have had a bad day and are taking it out on you.

I had an officer release the students on my bus following a minor riot. He was chewing me out for not having them under control. When he paused for breath from castigating me I asked, “So you are accepting responsibility for all the children you just let off the bus?”

You could see the look of horror come over his face as he realized what he had just done and that if any of them were hurt it was all on him. He rounded up maybe half and convinced the parents to put their guns away. I felt pity for him. It’s a hard job he had.

David with the better job

An officer never knows what he is walking up onto, they are not
clairvoyant.

I also as you say have had a young officer who stopped me and
said I cut him off when he pulled out of a gas station.
Well if you come out into traffic from a gas station it’s your responsibility
to wait till it’s clear. i didn’t tell this punk this but thats exactly what I
was thinking.
What he did was bluff and bluster and yell at me and carry on about
how he was doing me a favor by not writing me a ticket for 30 minutes,
and the whole time he had his hand on his gun. Intimidation I guess.
He was such a hot shot with his badge and gun. About a year later
he pulled my daughter over and read her the riot act for 15 minutes
and said when she pulled into a parking lot, because he was behind
her she was evading him. She was pulling into a denny’s to have
breakfast with me for crying out loud. Of course he did her a favor
and didn’t give her a ticket either.

There are good and bad people everywhere who do all kinds of
jobs.

Lets do be careful that we don’t hinder our officers so they can’t
effectively do their jobs like we did when we agreed not to use
nukes.

We let someone tie our hands of our power and now all we do
is lose wars. We are fast losing our battle with drugs, gangs and
criminals. Sometimes there will be casulties. Sometimes there
will be over zealous boys with guns who will shoot someone fleeing
from them in the back of the head, but do we really want to tie their
hands? How many lives have they saved? How many times have
victims been grateful because some wonderful young officer saved
their life or more important the lives of their children?

No system is perfect you just hope in most cases it is the best
that can be done.

One thing I don’t understand is with the threat that officers feel when
they don’t know what they are walking up onto, why in the world
are they not ticketing people who have black windows.

They scare everyone on the road. We don’t even know
who we are sitting beside at a stop light. The only reason you need
windows that dark is because you drink going down the road or worse.
Windows don’t need to be that dark to protect your seat covers.

If you violated the law while in your car like a drive by shooting or
even running a red light, no one could prove who was driving the
vehicle. This I don’t understand and I see no good reason why
they don’t chase these people down and give them a ticket.

I would say the chase in brewton from the police station through town , is considered dangerous and evasive action

So if the policy is to not chase someone due to those circumstances, why did they do it?

That could have been your family driving on those roads.
