lol, In Cali it was illegal for a stereo to be heard outside the vehicle past 50 feet... well, my Mustang and Integra you could hear from about half a mile... when I was playing it loudly, and passed a cop, Id just pause it and pull myself over... even before the cop would move sometimes. Confused the shit out a few of them, they'd be all "why did you stop", and I said "cause you are going to complain about my stereo, right?" half the time theyd laugh and just tell me to turn it down and let me go... was pretty funny to see their reactions... shit happened 2-4 times a WEEK, so I just started to help them pull me over so they wouldn't have to chase me...

A five year Plano cop with no write ups or incidents makes 100k+. The same can be said for Frisco and Highland Park officers. It's good money for people with a normal job, but that is not near enough for what those guys have to do everyday.

Everytime they stick their hands in someone's pocket they risk getting poked catching AIDS. Screw that.

Fighting people everyday who might bite them could have AIDS. Hell no!

Get run over giving a ticket or working a wreck because some idiot is texting and driving not looking for a cop in the street. Fuck that!

Get called to a domestic dispute to intervene only for one of them to turn on you /shooting/stabbing you for arresting the person THEY called on!

Make a human mistake only for the city to throw you to wolves rather than back you up so the city doesn't get sued. FUCK THEM! lol

It takes a special kind of person want to be a cop and put up with that bullshit everyday. Getting paid 70k a year to babysit societies degenerates is not near enough and certainly not enough to put my life on the line for every day!

Yeah, cops don't make enough. Evn in departments where people think its "safe" if you're a cop it's not safe bottom line. I was on the path to try to get on at ft worth but got offered the job I have now and I couldn't turn it down.

I always wanted a plate with a bunch of 1's and I's so it was hard to read at quick glance.

Something like... I1I II1I

I've been pulled over for that in Plano about 10 years or so ago. I did get the ticket dismissed though. Gotta watch out for the Plano cops though. Years ago I'm pretty sure I paid ones salary. Lol

I got a ticket today for "No Right Turn On Red"...in Irving. Anybody know a good traffic attorney that represents Irving? F-ing motorcycle cops. Asked me for my license and came back 30 seconds later with ticket in hand. "Have a nice day day sir. Watch for those signs..."

I guess you should pay attention. It's not the cops fault you broke the law.

That's like saying you shouldn't be speeding, but Lord knows we all do...are you a cop?

No but if I get a ticket for speeding I don't blame the damn cop. I was speeding, am I pissed I got a ticket yes. But I'm mad at myself for getting caught not mad at the cop for catching me. Most cops have treated me fairly through the years but there have been the occasional dick.

Wow...I didn't realize your primary job was a Life Coach. I expressed that I was upset and that a motorcycle cop stopped me, but I never bashed the guy. I was more upset with the situation than anything.

Born and raised in Plano. I can't speak for all Plano cops, but the majority I met have always given me a more than fair treatment.

Now Texas state troopers on the other hand......
