I had my truck in the dealership last week. When I picked it up one of the service advisors went to the back lot and brought it out front. When he hopped out he looked at me with a big smile and said "Wow! I was expecting a little growl but nothing like that, it sounds awesome!"

Generally you get the attitude back that you portray. Yes it can be frustrating if your in a hurry but chances are because you were in a hurry is what made the driver do or not do whatever it was to initiate the stop.

Not all are ***** but when they get challenged or bad attitude like the "what did you stop me for" or the "why are you always picking on me". Keeping in mind you've probably never met this guy or girl and yes of course the police have a picture of you or your car/truck in the office and actively hunt you down for the days objective. My suggestion would be just act natural, when something is out of place it puts them in a heightened state as many hate leos and it's praised by some groups to have killed one simply because of the uniform not because of the person wearing it.

Chances are if a person is constantly getting stopped its because they have a driving issue. No one is the perfect driver but the extreme cases stand out.

Not all are pillars in the community, they have the ***** just like any other profession or community but before anyone paints them all with the same brush think to yourself if you may need them to help you one day and when you call for help will your opinion be the same...

Seems people forget that law enforcement show up because someone else is being an ******* for lack of better terms. There's plenty of ******** in fire, ems, military etc yet they never get shit on, they're considered the heros because they risk life and limb working tirelessly to protect the community while the pigs are out causing trouble for everyone. I have yet to see someone call police because everything is well in Mayberry.

Before anybody ***** on ALL Leo's try meeting one off duty or on a positive note/interaction I bet you will be pleasantly surprised. Kinda the same reason people in the middle east hate north American military? (to them it's like they're policing their country isn't it?)


Anyone preaching that police are useless, no good ******** etc are generally the ones upset that when needed they can't get enough there and certainly never fast enough completely forgetting that they hated them minutes prior.

And please, anybody who comes upon law enforcement interacting with some in a manner you feel is un necessary, stop and think for one second if you know all the details and what initiated this contact. When you say no think if there might be a reason. Example would be officer safety. Did you see the knife clipped in the suspects pocket? Then go home and look up knife attack videos on the Internet. Then replay what you saw but put yourself in the boots of the officer and think, what if I was that officer killed because of my uniform, what if I lost that fight for my wife/husband/children etc because I didn't want the opinionated police hater to think wrong of me. It starts to hit home and anyone that ***** on law enforcement will always give the same answer when asked.. "hell no I wouldn't do your job people are crazy". remember example^^^

I won't use rant as people are simply sharing opinions (this is mine) and it's not personal by any means. I respect that people may have had a negative experience or a real bad day before.

I got stopped once on the 4th forgot to put my lights on. Had the kids with and we passed the cop and I'm doing my usual oh no he's going to get me as I tell the kid's they are just keeping bad people off the roads. well pretty soon the kids are saying you have fireworks behind you. I had to pee my oldest had to pee worse. We where laughing having fun I have to try and get them to calm down. Asked if I knew why I was pulled over I had no idea well lights. OK figured he say go a head but took my license to the car and came back with you need to step out of the car we need to take you in. I was what then he finally gave a little chuckle and said you have the same name as someone that has a warrant out for his arrest. well I really had to pee now but the wife and I made it as good of an exspeiranc as we could. The morel of the story is help your kid's know the cop's are on there side what to do if they are alone and how to maintain a steady speed until they get to a populated area. They still talk about it. I remember the first time I got pulled over I was scaired shitless being 15 train your kid's.

LOL! Love it, TiFJ! With a growl like that, the Raptor is perfectly named. :)

He didn't say anything as I walked past to get in my Raptor but when I fired it up I looked in the rearview mirror and I saw him standing there staring blankly and talking to himself. Then as I slowly pulled away I thought he was going to break his neck checking out my Raptor. I just smiled as I gave it a little more peddle.

I Lowe's today picking a washer in the contractor loading area, guy and his wife walks by saying "Kick ass truck man". Then one of the cahiers says "that is a beautiful truck". I thought it was nice of them to notice...

I got flipped off by some chick in a Camry hybrid as I pulled up behind her at a red light. Felt like a compliment to me!

Taken my 10 yr old to pitching lessons this evening, as we are heading toward the local college where he takes them, 2 boys I am guessing that 6 or 7 coming running to road and stare at my Raptor, one of them has his mouth wide open. I honked the horn at them and they got a kick out of that. My son said did you see that one kids jaw hit the grass?


Sent from my dumb apple products my work makes me use.
