As it is here as well. And as indicated, not only will they take your car apart, but your life as well......

Of course....if you simply tell the cop who your father (aka your Attorney) is.....there should be no problems.

No offense, but if I were a cop, and an adult tried to play the "Don't you know who my daddy is?" card, I'd do as much as I could to get said adult in as much trouble as humanly possible.

But, I don't think that's what the situation is here with the Emory bus being pulled by the University.

It's far more effective to cooperate with the cop and let his boss ream him out when they find out who your daddy is, anyway.

First part I agree with and the second part may depend on where you are, size of police force, type of department et al....In New York State, the husband of a candidate for AG has been pulled over several time by patrol units....and if they are doing it more than once: the guy has problems driving and the troopers are not being told to stop doing their jobs.....

Personally, I think most cops are power tripping assholes and deserve to get somewhat embarassed in public. Obviously, this is from my own experience.......but I just think it is far more pleasurable to actually see the cop get told over the phone or in person that there isn't a damn thing he can do and that it would be in his best interest to simply let me go.

It is even more hilarious when you have someone like the Chief of Police or the Smith County Sheriff on speed dial in your cell phone.....and get them to tell the unfortunate officer these things.

true story.

My true story is that I have NEVER met or known any officer who seemed to be a "power tripping asshole' (and by your own posting that would also include the Chief of Police of Smith County [would that not be the Sheriff of Smith County himself?])

My parents brought me up to respect Officers and other public servents.
As I posted before, if one put themselves in the positon that the officer is in and treats them as one would like to be treated, matters generaly come out rather well.

But that is just my POV based upon my experiences.

Yeah, you are right about the Sheriff/Chief of Police thing....I dunno what I was typing.

I never said I would treat an officer or public servant with disrespect, of course I wouldn't. Do I think, in my own experiences, that cops are tremendous assholes? Yeah.....especially in Austin and my hometown.

....I am going to take advantage of my resources though if it can get me out of trouble. I really have not ever been in a bad situation....but there have been a couple times where knowing people has helped out and helped others out.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

My opinion is that most adults who can't handle a situation without calling daddy are the power tripping assholes who deserve to get somewhat embarrassed in public.

Very true-would agree with your POV.
One would also have to wonder about ethics, public trust and laws being broken as well.......

You're making it sound like i'm 30 years old or something.


I guess I have the liberty/ability to avoid being "embarassed" in public.

True-I would agree with that..

Hummmm-my father was both an Attorney and an Officer and he never played that game and told me never to to it either.

Told me to always treat the Officer as you would wish to be treated by them....and to put myself in their position.

I know you're too young to remember this, but your posts are starting to make me think of that song The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
