I would have thought that failure to report a federal crime worthy of indictment would be a serious offence for an officer of the law to make. Guess I was mistaken.
last year i almost got 203'd, only my gps which showed my max speed of the day reflected an impossibility of me doing a speed the cop was accusing me of saved me (this was just after the cop in mississauga got caught making up charges). the cop decided he didn't need that kind of attention. how do you avoid getting in that situation? i know its rare, not every cop will round up/make up stuff how ever it just takes a cop having a bad day/out to pad his pocket to ruin your life. some one making 30k a year would be penalized 1/10th of their gross pay just from impound and defending. so how do you avoid being targeted like that?
Stay home, dont try doing anything fun
if everyone does that they will make it illegal too so that revenue can be generated.
Yeah because police never abuse anything.

Take your riding out of the city. Police in the city are ******** because they always have to deal with so many ********. Where I live if you get pulled over you got a decent chance of talking your way out of it. Most officers here arent old so they havent forgotten what its like to enjoy speeding or wheelies. I got pulled over last night for doing a wheelie cop said he was not going to give me a stuntin ticket only cause he was imnpressed. He had never seen anyone do aa wheelie in a car before lol

Guys, cops are not The Enemy...
Just mind yer business, drive defensively and save the 200 clicks for appropriate moments.
Lots of cops keeping their eyes on the cagers (making sure they stop for yellow lights, etc.) is an okay thing.
Piloting motorcycles is not a joke, it's serious business and you must play nice with cops, pedestrians, traffic laws and other users of the roads.
I never have any problems - but then I have all my paperwork, a tight rein on my bad attitude and quiet exhaust mufflers on my bike.
Running from the cops is just insane, but I did try it once myself, many years ago...
It didn't work out well.
But you could talk to the cops back in the day. They were more human, less computerized.
These days everything is under heavy surveillance - but that makes it even harder for cops to be corrupt, doesn't it?

They aren't your friends either, even thou they always make it seem like they are doing you a big favor...
"Heres what Im gonna do, talk to the JP and they will reduce the ticket for you" But what they really mean is "Talk to the JP so I can get booked for 5 hours of court overtime for the 5 ticket I wrote this week, but be out in 10 min because you all took a plea before trial".....Oh thanks!

you could also get a "good luck making it home" comment when the cop pulled you over and you were wasted. times have changed!
This is no joke.
It burns me up inside when all of sudden a cop is "my best friend."
More often than not they are looking to send someone up sh*t creek to further their own career.
Guys, cops are not The Enemy..:laughing8:
Um anybody that tries too screw me over is my Enemy i don"t know about you .

the police are the problem not the solution. I vote we ban police from doing anything at all. How dare they enforce the laws of our great country. I believe you must practise restraint on the street, I own a 2004 gsxr 1k "fastest bike ever produced" And I have decided that its best to take it to the track for aggressive style riding. Its safer and cheaper than the cost of getting caught on the street. And if you must ride beyond societies laws then be prepared to run. However be prepared to die. You could crash and burn. Also if you take out an innocent person... "for instance" my son I would then skin you alive and feed you to fire ants while you watched piranhas eat your penis in an aquarium in front of your very eyes. Don't forget I'm a Buddhist now but in my younger days it could have been worse for said person.
I'll pull over when cops dont gain anything from writing me tickets, besides getting their regular pay...
I make doors for a living, doesnt matter if I make 1 door a day or 500 I get payed the same...Now put me in the position of a cop where the more doors I make the more money I can make, and you can bet your *** I'll be making a **** ton more doors a day...The difference is I dont think I could even do it, if it meant I had to screw people over...
Same with parking enforcement, Im not sure how their pay system works but they must be getting some kind of bonus or have to meet a quota. I just couldnt do that job....

^ it's not so black and white
Cops now have a vested personal interest in handing out as many tickets as possible because it stands to mean a bigger paycheck for them at the end of the month. No person in a serious position of authority should personally be making profits from law enforcement. They should be getting paid their salaries, and getting reimbursed for the actual time spent in court as witnesses. Actual time spent there!
Instead we have street cops making over $100,000 in taxpayer dollars by handing out dozens of charges (how many are questionable?) in order to line their own pockets. Not cool.

I guess you believed Blinky when he told you cops are your friend..:lol:

now they got cops making doors wtf no wonder they are writing tickets they want to stay out of the woodshop.

so cops now make a percentage of the tickets they write. I disagree I dont think this is correct.

They make money by showing up to court (for 30 minutes) when you decide to fight that ticket.
No they get payed for court overtime, so more ticket + more court = more money....And then there is the really good part....They write a ticket for speeding, and tell you to book a court date but talk to the JP before the trail and they will reduce it for you...Your thinking oh great this guy is doing me a favor....Im sure alot of you have heard this line before?
But the real reason he tells you to do that is because, the court looks at the charge and decides how long they think that trial will take. And the cop gets booked for that court time, so for exampls lets say he hands out 5 speeding tickets in one week, and speeding trials are booked for 1 hr in court eact. They will group a few trials to be on the same day, and he gets booked for 5 hours of court time for that day...
If you actually went to trail he would have to actually be in court trying to prove his case against you, but because you took his advice and talked to the JP before trial and took a deal he only goes in to talk to the JP for 5 min, then has the rest of the time to blow doing whatever....If everyone of those 5 people takes his advice, he is in and out of court in 30 min but gets 5 hours of court pay...
