Caught this COP in action today while out on the road...

Ok.....

Say you are a criminal who just ripped-off an old couple in a home invasion robbery.
You ease out of their housing tract and cruise back to the barrio.....

You see "John Law" coming your way and peel out and pull a 180* in front of him.......

That's not "suspicious behavior"?

 

"Victorious?"....
What is this.....a battle of obtuseness on your part?

Perhaps no one wants to give an answer to such buncombe.....

 

I understand - I feel pretty much the same way myself. That is why I would have to have all the facts to make a judgment call. I would hate to accuse a hard working cop of being brutal when in fact he was saving someone's life or protecting me, just as much as I would hate to see a motorist being beat for speeding. You just don't know either way from looking at the pitures.

 

There's no law against turning 180 degrees infront of a cop...and unless the cop has reason to suspect you of something...like a 911 call of a robbery...there's really nothing they can do...

'suspicious behavior' is a real subjective term...

Suspicious behavior to you, might be normal behavior to someone else...

Example: I turned 180 degrees cause I forgot something at my house...
I turned 180 degrees because I realized I was going the wrong way...ex ex...

 

Ok......so if you toke a bowl in front of John Law and it's normal behavior for you...John Law should just go on his merry way to the doughnut shop right?

 

Also...you didn't read the whole scenario.....I did say "peel out" did I not?.... or are not familiar with that terminology......

 

Another truckstop lawyer. Jailhouse lawyer or whatever. Look I think a village somewhere is looking for you.

First off I'm glad we are in competition here. Second, you have no clue what you are talking about on many fronts. Third, go hug a tree and get an expresso.

You let me see a turd hook a u-turn and try to manuever away from me. When I see that, I'm thinking one thing. Fellow is in a panic with something to hide. There is a broad spectrum of probable cause I can use to stop any vehicle. Trust me, if I want a vehicle stopped, I can usually find a reason. It's not hard. Your comment about 95% of the time the cop is called to a call is the reason the contact is initiated? Again, no clue. Quite frankly reading your post sounds like you have had an a z z whopping, and I can fully understand why. Do I beat people that I contact? No. Have I used force neccesary to effect the arrest? Yes. I have been assaulted a few times, shot at twice. Been in law enforcement 13 years, the last time I had a use of force issue was 2007. Before that was 2005. Everytime I have had to get physical with a suspect, they forced my hand. Most of the suspects have been high or drunk. Only two I can think of that were stone cold sober, but the space between the ears was empty.

I can't imagine you have had any law enforcement classes because you have no clue of Terry stops, probable cause or the use of force continuem. For use of force, I may need to go up more than one level to control the suspect. I am not limited to one step up, again wrong.

 

Reasonable suspicion requires a lesser degree of evidence than probable cause. If a reasonable person in a similar situation would think the same thing, then you have reasonable suspicion to initiate further contact to see if probable cause develops.

I think the average reasonable person would agree that if a vehicle suddenly peels out and goes in the opposite direction in front of a cop, that would be suspicious behavior.

 

I think im with Ghost child on this one

 

I remain neutral. Without more information the pictures tell me nothing.
