mercman Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hey OFC, i had quite the scare today an undercover police officer ran up on me today as i was parked at a little caesars with my buddy having lunch. He suspected us of having drugs and he walked over and before anything was even said there was a glock 9 in my face. We were searched and we were clean and he left after appologizing. Was what he did legal? I am 17 years old. here is the original post, for those who have forgotten about it. The question is, was it legal. The correct answer can only be addressed by a lawyer or judge. Any lawyers or judges out there who want to put this to rest ????? I admire Cops and what they do. Humans are the most unpredictable animals on earth, and should be dealt with accordingly, as unpredictable. To Serve and Protect.....If this situation really happened(big if) then he was serving and protecting IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Or just take a car. About five+ years ago my daughter owned a VW Jetta and there was always a cruiser parked in front of our house Tavio Way (FandA you probably know it) one night she lent the car to her fiancee and got promptly stopped (11 pm) I called and asked what the problem was as my neighbours were starting to ask ?s regarding this activity. I was told there were stolen cars in the area etc. I'm sitting reading the paper when I spot a cruiser outside after my call. I went outside and invited the nice man in and questioned him about it . . . The stolen story was not true but what was, is that the previous owner's daughter was mixed up with unclassy people and they were checking to see if she had returned in the area! And advised us to change our locks. I called my daughter down and he showed me a picture of who they were looking for and it wasn't her obviously she is not of Asian descent. As the conversation lasted about 10 minutes and was very friendly I asked him if he would take her outside and put her in the cruiser just to get the neighbours going? He turned me down but we had a good laugh and was on his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch312 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 So you be offended if I came up and asked how you were doing...wow such a travesty of justice lol yes, i would. you can thank the "bad apples" and "power trippers" that hide behind badges for many people disliking police and having this attitude towards them today. it's actually quite sad that the majority dislike or fear the police, but i don't blame anyone for feeling this way. it only takes one power tripping cop to make someones life much more difficult...

Old Man Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) That is Awesome! You know what I think was Awesome?

cram Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Why? Its suspicious. Don't you get it? If you're sitting in a car you are probably up to something. Same as if you see someone drinking a lemonade in a park. Likely a troublemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Okay I'll give you guys a basic idea/scenario For those who live near/in Woodbridge will be familiar with the plaza at hwy 7 and woodstream...plenty of people hanging out there... I'd drive in and park I see three guys sitting in their honda civic, engine on, windows down and its -5 out...strange right? Maybe not, but windows down means their smoking right? So I walk over and talk to them Me: hey guys how are ya tonight? Kids: good Me: what are you up to tonight? Kids; just grabbed a coffee and having a cigarette I don't see or smell anything but coffee and cigarette smoke Me: have a good night guys, stay warm 9 times out of 10 this is the extent of the conversation. Not lengthy, not a violation of their rights. By all means they don't have to answer anything, but most of the time I gets answers like that. You also didn't have your gun pointed at the driver either did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 yes, i would. you can thank the "bad apples" and "power trippers" that hide behind badges for many people disliking police and having this attitude towards them today. it's actually quite sad that the majority dislike or fear the police, but i don't blame anyone for feeling this way. it only takes one power tripping cop to make someones life much more difficult... The same applies from a cops perspective...so really ...who is wrong??? everybody??? because of a few bad apples on both sides of the fence...Cops are just doing their jobs...

fishing n autograph Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Why? All depends on the situation and contex I guess... 2 guys in a work truck outside mcdonlds at noon? No I wouldn't bother 2 guys in a work truck in front of a closed plaza at 1am then yeah I'd see what they're up to because my experience and info I get a lot of commercial break ins are done w/ pick ups and vans 2 teens in a plaza at noon near a school? Yes, because its been my experience that kids jump in their cars and leave school to smoke weed on their breaks Each scenario is different and requires a different approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as if you see someone drinking a lemonade in a park. Likely a troublemaker. Give me a break!!! When I lived back in the "civilized" world I would eat my lunch in my car all the time. Guess I was engaged in the suspicious consumption of a Whopper meal. This is the middle of the day folks. Now if those same kids were parked out back of some strip mall at night...................THAT's SUSPICIOUS. What's the difference between sitting in your car listening to tunes while eating lunch and sitting on a park bench eating lunch listening to tunes?

Grimace Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I am sitting in my truck reading OFC in my iPhone. I just drove over here to shovel my parents driveway for them.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 what scares me is people who blindly support things regardless... i'm so sick of being told i have to support police no matter what! i support officers who do their job, not arseholes! and cops can be arseholes too, just like any profession! if the police ever accidentally pulled a gun on me, i'd make the biggest stink i possibly could so that the officer in question NEVER makes that error again.
