    Worked Dead Man shift for a bail bond company in a large southern state, and would catch breakfast before heading home. Usually a group or two of cops were eating there as well, talking about what had happened that night. I was shocked to hear at different times over six years admission of, drug placement during a search, tuning up a person for there different preferences,or the old I took him to the back of the car "uncuffed" pinned him down on the trunk shouted "stop resiting stop resisting" and beat him to a pulp. If you allow a cop in your car or truck other than DOT you are asking for trouble. If they get a warrant there shift supervisor or dog does the search. If you give permission to search to a bad cop its over, if he wants it to be. At time of stop noticed white powdery substance on shirt or nostrils witch led to probable cause. Pull you out of car/ truck place in custody, put placeable evidence in there closed hand, reach into any compartment in car or truck with closed hand drop in compartment "possession". in process of testing substance rub a little on there finger then brush on your shirt. There chem test shows you had it in possession and on your shirt as well . Case closed your doing time, usually 14- 20 is offered because an innocent man has nothing to hide? If they ask you out of the truck / car open door, roll window up, and lock door. If they question why you did say its the only habit you have and don't open it unless a warrant is present with a shift supervisor depending on state. Don't believe a word i say, go sit a table or two away from a group of cops working night shift blowing off steam.

    sure there are bad apples but there is in any proffesion to even try to act like all cops are bad just shows how comepletly stupid you are and i for 1 take offense to you trying to treat me like i am that stupid to believe it.as far as profiling there are certain crimes that certain races commit more and times when profiling is just.times when it is not.sorry but if you are looking for a terroist with a bomb an middle eastern is it,crack a black ,meth a white it is just the way life is.if you have nothing to hide be cooperative and get back on your way faster.if you take that jackarse attitude guess what do not be surprised when you get it back.

    GAH!

    I would love to comment on your post, but, truth be told, I can't read past the first little bit before becoming lost. Please, use some punctuation. Not only will it make your posts easier to read, but it will add a little credibility to statements like, "shows how comepletly [sic] stupid you are".

    [[DROY-If statistics prove a certain crime, such as the transportation of illegal substances, is committed by a certain race of people 75% of the time, is it racial profiling to check that race of people 75% more than other races? Should law enforcement agencies be required to keep a running total, to insure we do not infringe on some peoples rights, halting any checks on that race of people until a balance is attained?

    I totally 100% disagree! There are certain races who do not seem to place a lot of emphasis on "earning their keep" (for lack of a better phrase), and would instead prefer to receive that handout from the government. The ones that want to work seem to prefer selling drugs to flipping burgers.
    I find your statement about racial profiling keeping that race in a better likelihood of getting arrested and convicted utter nonsense. It is very hard to be arrested for a crime if you are innocent. Would you try to have me believe that the majority of arrests are not justified?

    well, i would guess that we'll just have to agree to mostly disagree, yet partially agree....ah, maybe we'll both ponder a different view....such is the beauty of a discussion forum.

    Good discussion, I hope you think the same, even though you didn't win... If I didn't convince you over to my side, I guess I didn't win either... LOL

    The key word your using here is "Segregate" or separating a particular crime suspect due to race. Is it possible, that the crime(illegal trafficking) only appears to be directly correlated to race? Is it also possible that the said crime could show a greater correlation to socio-econmic status independent of race?

    Yeah, I guess we do disagree. I've also known quite a few trust fund idlers too... It's the same concept, just a different socio-economic status. Again, some of these trust funders that want to work, dump investors by disolving corporations with the sole purpose of getting the investment capital(happens all the time, it's called fraud and is a crime). It's just LEO's don't pull them over and arrest them for these crimes. (Trailer park/Meth... Crack/Inner city housing projects...see a pattern?)

    Crimes may change with socio-econmic status but they are crimes nevertheless.

    Peace :biggrin_25525:

    All I can say is wow
    I did work for a a racist black cop once, against his own race
    He said all cops become racist, I guess depending on the part of town
    This and the quoted post shows why the burn out rate is so high
