Citizen Honks At Cop For Speeding With Phone In Hand, Receives Ticket

//

Are cops allowed to do business on unencrypted cell phones? I mean there is a several thousand dolar radio suite in the cruiser that likely offers encrypted (and monitored...hence the issue with a personal cell) communication. You are right, I don't know what he was doing. Maybe he was responding to a call. Or maybe he was arranging to pick up some smack from his dealer. No one (but the NSA I suppose) can know because he was communicationg outside of the established channels that exist for official police business.

Well, if he were speeding and talking on his phone while gathering information and enroute to a call, I'm sure glad he took time away from all that crime prevention to pull over some jerk who honked at him.

It has nothing to do with cars. It just plays well with a significant portion of the TTAC audience, and therefore generates clicks between actual articles about cars.

Do you have to hate someone to want them to be held accountable for their actions? Police are public servants they are not above me they work for me. And if you can't figure out the connection between police and cars then perhaps you are in the wrong place.

They've come a long way, though. I can remember when every fourth article here was a police piece, and "pig" was used half a dozen times.

@cartunez Hmm, I didn't realize that Police and cars are the same subject. I didn't know it was the truth about police. The whole "they work for me" thing is a joke right? Tell me you aren't the guy who yells that your tax money pays their salary...Classic.

@Drzhivago138 I'm kinda surprised the PC police lets the word pig in on here. I mean, is it really less offensive than say nixxxr?

@PonchoIndian I guess you missed the point yet again which is not surprising. You probably vote based on the "issues" as well.

@cartunez You must be too left wing and entitled to understand yourself.

@cartunez The fact that you see this as a left or right anything lets me know how far down the rabbit hole you are. This is about accountability which last I checked is supposed to apply to everyone. This is why democracy is doomed to failure. The ignorant have no desire to seek knowledge only slogans and empty promises.

@cartunez The fact that you keep taking personal shots without any merit tells me you live in your own world anyway. Not exactly sure what kind of accountability you are looking for, but your first comment about "fuck the police" pretty much says it all.

Ok Poncho lets try this I get a kick out of people who hate the cops until they need one. me: Who needs a cop? Or do you mean if I run into trouble who would I call? There are shitty people in every form of work. It just so happens that it is usually the shitty cops that get the press, not the hard working ones who really do love their job and want to serve their town/city. me: How many jobs do these "shitty" people work in that give them the state giving power of life and death of you? How many of these people are authorized to lie in the course of doing their respective jobs? How many of these people are so well protected from any oversight or accountability that only a merciful deity can put an end to their bullshit? Not sure what this anti-cop thing has to do with cars. As someone said, click bait maybe? me: once again its not hate. Sorry my NWA references and my lack of giving a fuck about team blue or team red seems to go over your head. I will try to make this simple for you. I believe in freedom but I also know and understand there are consequences for every action. Blind faith in these so called peace officers is getting a lot of innocent people killed.

@cartunez ok cartunez, once again you've showed your maturity level to be lacking. I can do with out the "make it simple for you comment". You sounds like you need to go back to your bomb shelter and prepare for the apocolypse. So far you haven't really come up with any justification for your comments. Life and death, lies, merciful deity... I never professed to have a blind faith, it just makes me chuckle when someone like you has the balls to condemn people who go out everyday knowing it could be their last. I'm sure if you had to deal with the lowest denominator of society on a daily basis you perspective might change ? Probably not, I suspect you are among the lowest denominator already. They are usually the ones tho are the internet tough guys such as yourself.

@PonchoIndian lol @ everyday could be their last. Power linemen and gas station attendents have a better chance at death doing their respective jobs. Regarding my position in life. Who cares. Even if I am a bum on the streets I should be afforded the dignity of being a human being. Internet tough guy? I think you should rest Poncho this thread is making you cranking.

@PonchoIndian I almost forgot you wanted to understand why I demand accountability from these thugs. http://www.policemisconduct.net also check out the work Radley Balko puts out regarding these "heroes".

@cartunez you have a unique way of skirting the questions. You really haven't come up with a legit reason for you side. My lowest common denominator comment has nothing to do with one's financial position in life, it has everything to do with their character. Once again, what justice and accountability are you looking for? What did this officer do wrong?

@cartunez sweet jesus, you are a whack job! there are web sites for everything out there. And like I said previously, there are shitty people in every job. Why don't we go to the websites such as worldstar hip hop and start making some racial remarks... now wait, lets go to some gay/lesbian site and start in that direction.

@cartunez Huh? You are inviting me to racist gay bashing dumbshit? Sorry you lost me again but I am going to end this convo we are not communicating well.

They're public servants, which really can't be defined any other way than that they're hired to serve the public. Public funds are used to pay and authorize people to enforce the law and keep the peace. When the people we've hired use the authority we've granted them to violate the laws they should be enforcing and harass citizens on technicalities because they're annoyed with that citizen, rather than because they routinely enforce the technicality, they're no longer serving the public interest.
