What is the best looking State Police/Highway Patrol cars that you see on the road?

It has been my experience based on my admittedly small amount of experience with LEOs you will find 2 kinds, the ones doing their job, and the ones looking for trouble. The former know the difference between an aggregious infraction such as a driver with a pos truck falling apart running 90k skipping a weigh station and the driver running empty who just made an honest mistake and blew past.

Then you have the guys looking for any reason to pull someone over and ruin their day, they sit right at a new speed limit sign getting drivers as they are slowing down for the 20mph difference in speed that had no warning. These ones seem to feed on misery, maybe they had a bad day, maybe their wife left them and took the dog, who knows. But they have the power to make others just as miserable and lack the scruples to resist using it.

I will say I think the latter are in the minority but they are out there and a few bad apples can spoil the barrel for everyone, just like a few bad drivers give us all a bad name. The difference is we get ridiculous sanctions put on ourselves for those few bad drivers while abusive law enforcement can and does go generally unchecked.

 

Interesting. So you lump all cops into the same group. That is a very intelligent thing to do.

You just lost any respect that I had for you Harv. However, even though I no longer have any respect for you, I can still TREAT you with respect. Something you might think about.

 

Its just the way I feel about it and nothing will change it. Ive never had a good experience with a cop.

 

Broke down and wrecked ones

 

Best looking state trooper cars are the ones on the side of the road with someone pulled over as I speed on by honking and laughing at the driver pulled over.

 

I was looking for that picture. I seen one similar in 1996 on I-5. I think it was a FLD then? It had blue lights up top, so I know it ain't the same one.

Edit: Doh! I see it's Maryland now. CHP use to have one with a similar paint scheme. Might of been all tan. Alzheimers.

 

Who said getting a ticket was a good experience?

If it wasn't for men like DB and scalemaster. There would be total anarchy amongst the yahoo's! Don't let one bad experience make you prejudice. They do make a positive difference.

This past Christmas our police dept collected a almost a warehouse full of toys for the kids. Bad cops! How dare you!

 

Budget cuts are a #####.

 

Thats one way to slow'em down.
