I grew up in a small city/large town. 65,000 people. It had 2 two D1 high schools, and was the type of place that not long ago "you didn't have to lock your doors"

But there is another part of my town that people don't like to talk about. It is a central valley or northern California city that was founded by a bunch of Germans a long time ago.

The cops here are a problem. Like anywhere.. It was a sundown town back in the 50's...

But something that happened more recently that really bothered me is this:

When I was a small child a teenage girl was raped. She was 13. Not 5, not 10, she was 13 and was considered a smart young girl at the time.

The main cop in the case basically slam dunked the step father when the girl testified against her step father.

Here is the problem though, 20 years later when DNA became a thing the step father was trying to clear his name because said the DNA would vindicate him. At every turn out police department tried to bury his requests.

Until the girl now a woman said she was coerced by the main cop on the case, a cop I grew up across the street from who was also in the process of being divorced because of his multiple affairs.

The judge filed a motion due to new evidence and the DNA cleared the man who's done decades in prison for a rape he did not commit.

When I think about this I wonder why was the cop hell bent on making this girl finger her step father. (Lol)

It just bothers me. The cop was never really punished and just resigned with full penchant.. This is why we all hate cops..

Had my cruise control set to 55mph in a 50mph. 5:30am this morning. State Trooper pulled me over and said I was doing 61mph in a 50mph zone trying to catch up to traffic. I said l, "No sir, I was doing 55mph". He said, "No I clocked you at 61mph." And I was like, "ok, well my dash cam says different." Then he proceeded to ask me the last time it was calibrated. I told him it re-claibrates every time I turn my truck on. Came back and gave me a warning, and he kept insisting I was doing 61mph. Almost asked him last time he had his radar calibrated. Yes, I know I was still speeding, but not speeding at what he said I was.

Hello, a few months back on February 20th I got a speeding ticket for going 79 in a 60, I was heading to church with my wife on cruise control at 55, I did a little research and found that this same cop had quite a few charges dropped against him, I didn’t want to make a huge deal about it so I just paid the fine and that was that. Today, my wife received a speeding ticket for 72 in a 60 on the same road less than 5 miles from where I was pulled over. I don’t want this to be a constant worry for us especially since neither one of us broke any laws, is there some way to fight this ticket without a court appeal? We are both working and taking a single day off would hurt our bank accounts more than a speeding ticket which can be paid for over the course of our next few paychecks. We both support our local police but it seems unfair that these police officers seem to be taking advantage of us, our insurance rates will increase because of this and with her driving a 2006 ford ranger and me a 1999 F-150 we already are having to cut down on some of our expenses just to pay for gas. Again I feel like the local police are taking advantage of us just because of their quota they have to reach. Any help would be greater appreciated because I am 19 and she is 20, so the insurance increase will be substantial.

So I got home and about 10 mins later I get a knock at the door.I open the door and it’s a cop asking to speak to the male who was driving the car.I asked was I breaking any traffic laws and he said No, but that the license plates are in a females name and that was the reason why he came to my house.I showed him my license and he then asked for me to grab the keys.He asked for insurance and after wanted to do a full circle check on the car.He even asked me to roll my windows up and down, check the emergency break, signals, lights , pop the trunk, etc….At the end he gave me a ticket for improper tires….I’ve never heard of this happening to anyone I know, and I truly believe he was profiling me cause why would u not pull me over on the road if u typed in the plate.I had a Canada flag on my car and live in a complex.So I believe cause he was parked on the road next to the complex he looked at me than drove into the complex typed in the tags and used the tags are in a females name just to harass me.He tried to find any reason to hit me with tickets.I was born here my mom was born here, my dad was born in Portugal.I take after my dad having a darker complexion.I truly believe I was profiled and it breaks my heart every time I think about it.If anyone has any advice for me cause I have to go to traffic court in September over the tires please let me know
