Cop arrests cop, gets harrased

A Miami Police officer, was late for an off-duty job. While in full uniform, he ran his marked police cruiser up to 120 miles per hour on a city freeway trying to make it to work. Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Watts was one of the cars he blew past.

Uncertain of who was in the speeding car, Watts spent seven minutes with her blues-and-twos running, trying to catch the speeding Lopez. Once she pulled him over, Watts confiscated Lopez's gun and cuffed him. Lopez eventually lost his job.

after the incident, Watts alleges that she started receiving threatening and prank phone calls (some were even to order pizza), along with other forms of harassment including police cars and unmarked vehicles idling outside her house. According to MSN News, a public records request with the Sunshine State's Department of Motor Vehicles revealed that her driver's license information had been accessed by 88 different officers in 25 different agencies over 200 times in just a three-month span.

I suspect she's been harrased for not giving him a pass for being an idiot in uniform. They expect that from everyone else in uniform. So astoundingly corrupt.

If you read past hte link you'll see she's got a damn good case and is sueing every damn department that has run her info, in violation of a law that gives police secrecy of their residence, furthermore, for no cause to run her info. I'm shocked nothing in the news from her department head, division officer, etc decrying the outrageous behavior of everyone that has searched the database for her info, and demanded their resignation for being unprofessional, etc

speed trap warning is given the green light by judge, overbearing - power tripping Ellisville Missouri police subdued by the 1st ammendment Free Speech provision

According to a federal judge in St. Louis, flashing your headlights to warn of upcoming speed traps is a legally protected form of free speech and is therefore protected by the First Amendment, says Fox 2 News. The ruling came after police in Ellisville, MO, pulled over Michael Elli, a retired man with a clean driving record, for flashing his lights to warn motorists that police were using their radar guns ahead.

Elli sued the city, and the American Civil Liberties Union joined him in the suit shortly thereafter.

ACLU attorney Tony Rothert, "In our view that's speech that's protected by the First Amendment and it's also good for the public because it tells people to slow down, to use caution. That's never a bad thing."

Baltimore Maryland stoplight cameras grossly inaccurate and ripping off residents. City didn't bother releasing this info, the newspaper did

a secret audit from 2012 of the traffic cameras in Baltimore, MD should heat things up a bit. In an audit of the city's 83speed cameras, The Baltimore Sun is reporting that 13 had a double digit error rate, which helps account for a system-wide error rate of 10 percent. Of course, the secret part of this secret audit was that the findings were never released to the public.

City officials originally said that the cameras had an error rate of less than a quarter of a percent, but the audit found that most were not only off, they were way off – three specific locations in the city had error rates that varied from 35 to 58 percent. As the article points out, a total of 700,000 tickets were issued in fiscal year 2012 averaging $40, and a 10 percent error rate would mean that close to $2.8 million in fines were collected erroneously.

WTF is the deal in Queensland Australia with cops needing to give a biker a dressing down for riding a bike while wearing a vest? 6 cops needed to stand around and ask stupid questions without writing a ticket or making charges

Thanks George for letting me know!

What a waste of time, Aussie tax payers dollars, etc. Readers, this is the most foolish cop pull over I've ever seen. Two cops had to ask him the same questions about his vest, his bike, his job, etc

They act like they are confronting Chopper Reed after a murder, instead, they have Joe Businessman refueling!

I wish I could drop in, ride a harley, while wearing a clever Mickey Mouse MC vest. Just to spin the the hell up.

Just suppose that every highway patrol car, motorcycle, and vehicle were on GPS and that location was live streamed online for the population at large

Would this change the amount of cops on the roads?

Would knowing where the speed traps were change the way the public drives?

Would cops flat out go on strike against their locations being made public? (how many at station, location of speed traps, diversity of patrol areas, etc etc)

Just wondering. That tech is already on their vehicles, it's how their dispatchers know where their vehicles are. Big flatscreens in dispatch show where the units are

Cops in Vienna hit a bicyclist, break his collarbone, and make him blow in the breathalyzer... he wasn't guilty of anything if I translate this German article correctly
