Oh I've seen this one! He was pulled over for failing to appear in court.

He'd been pulled over for an over-dark tint several times (the Facebook post said 8) so he added the "cops suck dick" saying it was harrassment at that point. One gave him a citation he didn't pay, resulting in the court appearance that he opted to skip. All the links are dead at this point since it's 9 years old.

Thank you for sharing this gem, banana

The people who do this kind of stuff are always the kind of people who are constantly doing illegal shit, and they call it harassment.

Sovereign citizens are that way too, so many of them have criminal records, they latch onto the sovereign lifestyle so they can learn spells and incantations to help them get out of trouble next time they inevitably have a run-in with the law.

There are many, many, places all over the US that basically fund their local government by pulling over people who don't live there, and fining them. They absolutely abuse their authority to do this. There are so many infractions, many very vaguely worded, and broad, the cops can basically pull over anyone, just because they want to, and they do. There are also plenty of people out there with long standing video evidence of being harassed by the police, because the cops don't like legal things they do, or don't like their families.

If you think this is the end of these programs, prepare to be wrong.

It's like when a Discord moderator puts a rule that says no politics on their server. Everything is political, so now they can remove anything they don't like with a justification.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

correct, to a point. most of the time they will only kick people for expressing extreme and highly intolerant views, or for fighting in their server over it, but theoretically they could just kick anyone who talks about any topic they don't like under that guise. Now take this position, vague laws allowing for power abuse, power abuse is awarding to many people on its own, especially those drawn to positions of authority, then add to it training regimen that teach these practices, periodic seminars to reinforce the practice, personal profit motive to enforce this practice, and a societal structure that pressures them to do so. This is machine for shaking down the general public under color of law.

You'd like to think so, but my dad, as law-abiding a person as you could ever meet, kept getting pulled over as he came home from work at 1AM almost every night by the local RCMP for about 2 weeks. And it's not like he was shit-talking them and earning their ire, until maybe the 8 or 10th time, since he'll be unreasonable friendly to pretty near anyone. It only ended when he contacted the detachment sergeant and chewed on him, then it was suddenly done.

Sometime cops are just dinks.

First really good laugh of the day. I had to walk over to a coworker and show him, too. Thanks!

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And then all the guys in your precinct started sucking each other off.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 days ago

While I do work a government job (state, thank goodness), I am not law enforcement. I do support them sucking each other off, though.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?" "I can only assume, officer. And I'm not interested."

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 3 days ago

"Only gay cops pull me over"

[–] Oisteink@feddit.nl 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Doesn’t look very pulled over

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"I can't pull over anymore"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago

"I'm freaking out, man!"

Just don't look that close

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 8 points 4 days ago

He should swiftly reach for his dick once they're at the window, just in case you know

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago

They really like those dicks

[–] Unleaded8163@fedia.io 6 points 4 days ago

Truck is clearly owned by a cop.

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

That's right

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 4 days ago

Probably for using the possessive instead of the plural for "cops" - wait, no, cops would never be that just. Never mind.
