Human course of action in a situation is not relevant to how a police man is trained to approach situations? Either way you see it, things reduce to one thing: We are all human.Quote:

Quite honestly most police officers I've ever really encountered are pretty nice and encourging and never really raise their voice. Hell, even my uncle was one, and he's pretty calm. I think a lot of people get the imperssion they are like that becuase of video's like that. I'm not saying you're wrong, the dude in the video could have been much calmer and professional, you're just generalizing.Quote:

My two buddies and I usually go fishing late at night for catfish / bowfin. Generally go out around 11 PM and stay out till 4 AM or so, sometimes later. We fish on public property so we need to have fishing licenses, which we all have. Anyways, we're heading back one night from fishing and pulled into McDonalds to order some food since we don't take anything but water or powerade with us when fishing. We sat in the parking lot in my buddies truck eating and proceeded to leave. Upon pulling out of McDonalds, 3 cop cars come up behind us and turn on their lights. We promptly pull over as one pulls up behind us, one boxes us in from the front, and the third pulls up near the driver side. I'm driving and start questioning if I pulled out wrong or something, but my buddies assured me this wasn't the case.
Cop approaches us and asks what we were doing. We explained how we were fishing, pointed to the fish in the bed of his truck in our buckets, and said we stopped for food before going home. He then demands to see our fishing licenses. This immediately is odd to me because 1) ive never had a cop ask only a game warden and 2) we arent in the act of fishing when hes pulling us over, so how is having a license relevant? After this he then asks for our IDs. Before I can pull em out, he looks at me and says "Boy, you're incredibly fucked right now." I'm like, what do you mean sir? He tells me he ran the plates and I'm driving under a suspended license. I kinda chuckle and say that he's mistaken and I'm not the owner of the vehicle. My buddy in the passenger seat is and he's the one with the suspended license. The cop looks at our licenses, realizes he's wrong, and walks back to his vehicle.
Following that, he returns back and demands we all leave the vehicle and consent to a breathalyzer. We all pass since we weren't drinking in the least bit. At this point my other friends eyes are starting to water a bit at the fact its almost five something am and he's still not in bed. The cop flashes his light in his eyes and asks if he's high. He says no, again because we're not doing a damn thing wrong or have been doing anything wrong. The cop then tells us if we'd like to have less jail time we need to turn over our weed right this instance. We tell him we don't have any but he honestly doesn't believe us. After this, he calls for a drug sniffing dog who comes and sniffs around the vehicle. What's he find? Nothing.
The cop comes back from his car with our IDs and throws them at us and tells us to "have a good fucking night and thanks for wasting his time". The other cops never even said a word the entire time to us. This one cop was just a total asshole.
Any other instance ive had with a cop has been rather good so this one is an exception, but I didn't find it right how hardcore he was trying to bust us for something we weren't doing wrong.
Meh, if you think that's bad, cops in my region threaten to plant coke on you: http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2013/05/08/durham_police_constable_threatens_to_beat_up_man_a nd_plant_cocaine_on_him_video_shows.html
Yes, this is Canada. There are bad apples in every basket.
I like how he remained employed. Such misconduct in any other line of work would have you out on your ear and facing charges.
Yeah, I realized that after posting. Must be some stereotype.Quote:

One of the officers gave me some water and an ice pack for my hand which was swelling due to a broken bone.
Another officer offered me a dip (chewing tobacco) which I accepted.
That was it. God I love living in the American west.
