Anyhow, I pull this guy over for a red light violation and he starts in about how he is good friends with Officer XYZ of my department. Only problem.. he used MY name! I'm like, really? "Oh yeah, we went to school together and he was best man at my wedding!" I'm looking at this guy trying to figure out where I know him from and it comes to me.. I had arrested him for DUI on Christmas Eve, about 2 months earlier! I let him dig himself deeper about how he is the Godfather for my kids, then I walk back and write the ticket. I come back and he says, "Why are you giving me a ticket, can't you call XYZ and he can vouch for me?" (Real balls, huh?) So I have him step out of the car and ask for the keys and he asks why. I said, "I'm towing your car, not so much because your license is suspended from when *I* arrested you for drunk driving on Christmas Eve, but because you are the biggest liar I've ever met."
He looks at my nametag and looks at me and says, "Man Dude, you look totally different with that helmet on!"

JesasaurusRex said:No im saying that because now adays these LEO's tow your car depending on what mood theyre in. Its his car, i dont even think police should have the right to tow vehicles. Atleast they should let the driver have a chance to tow it home themselves.
He doesn't hate them.. He's trying to understand the reasoning behind some of the things they do....As a matter of fact I've heard him say several times over that he respects their job, and how hard they have to work.uhmeebuh said:No - officers can't tow cars without a valid reason. It was in your thread where you got towed that an officer revealed this (Brash I believe).
This guys license was suspended. What should the officer had done? Let him go? Leave his car on the side of the road where the tickets can amount to more than an impound?
So, why do you hate cops so much? And it has NOTHING to do with the fact that you got towed for riding with race plastics and then mouthing off to an officer?
