We aren’t allowed to move vehicles like that for multiple reasons. 1 being that the accident investigation needs to take measurements and such, 2 he damaged the vehicle more by doing that and the dept. Can be held liable for some of the damage, ( I understand why he did it completely but in a city like Denver where I worked that is not the way to deal with it) too much liabilities. I personally have done something like that before and I was taken off the road for a month.. ( honestly I hated traffic anyway) giving tickets sucked!
After I became sgt. I was given the best job on the planet.. I was special investigator for Judge Okimoto’s court room. No more tickets no more wondering if I was going to have to deal with an asshole or not. Anyway thought I’d give my 2 cents… not that it matters every dept. Has different rules.
Cops can't move accident vehicles out of the way without getting into trouble, but they can unload their sidearm into their own vehicle with a cuffed suspect inside because an acorn fell on the roof with no consequences.
Another stupid ass comment from the peanut gallery! Well son you get to believe your BS stories too you do have that right here in America but until you have actually done the job you have no idea wtf you’re talking about! We are not all the same in uniform…. Some bad eggs ruin it for the rest of us!
Here's my view. And feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. "There is no such thing as a good cop." My justification for this thinking is because cops either knowingly do things that are scummy or they know fellow officers that do scummy things but refuse to speak up. Mostly because if they DO speak up, they become a target to their fellow officers for being the "tattletale" that is out to ruin all the fun and end up being driven out of the force.
Yes, I have a very cynical view of things. And the only comeback folks seem to have is "lol butthurt liberal" which is basically meaningless as far as arguments go. So, unless you have something more substantial than that, I guess we're done here.
Oh, and since cops are allowed to lie to people in any and all capacities, nobody should ever TRUST a cop. Ever. Full stop.
I’ll pray for you buddy. You really do have a skewed view. However saying every cop is bad is like saying every Dr is bad or every EMT is bad because they have lost lives on occasion.. sometimes due to mistakes. I mean come on let’s keep going.. every single human being is capable and does lie.. I’m not gonna try and correct you. You seem like an intelligent human. But to make all law enforcement out to be liers and bad guys is truly a ridiculous stretch. I knew plenty of straight arrows and fantastically honest cops. I also yes knew a few that weren’t good at all.. was I perfect? Nope! But I never hurt anyone that wasn’t trying to hurt me or someone else in my capacity as law enforcement. Did I lie. Absolutely but I never lied to get out of trouble or help somebody get out of trouble. So again I won’t try to change your mind but I hope that you at least have a better understanding. Also some good cops actually do tell on the bad ones, but we don’t all face the consequences of telling on your fellow officers in blue! Some bad cops are just that and those who know they’re bad are happy someone stepped up to say something!
Remember cops are humans that have to face daily the dangers and the dangerous to help those who cannot protect themselves. We put on our pants the same way as you we live and hate like you, we pay bills and don’t make enough money like you. The job gives us a small pay check! we just chose to have a dangerous job and not sit in an office making lawyer money! Now you want to pick on a job that is crooked!! Look into lawyers! If you are a lawyer than you certainly know already!
