Here's what makes me think of it as loading/unloading.
That cops are supposed to look the other way when other cops break the law.
Laundry. Oddly enough she was getting her laundry at 10pm. Don't know if I said that or not.
I was gonna say laundry because I thought I remembered you mentioning it.
Loading and unloading includes passengers.
I can get you too.
I can see this going either way and I couldn't really argue with it. I can see how both sides are right in some ways and both sides are wrong in some ways (assuming we have the full story). Like I've said, I don't think the officer should have given the ticket, but I don't think he was wrong either. If it was my decision alone I would overturn the ticket, more for PR than anything. In my experience with Tech PD it seems to be a mentality of "when in doubt write the ticket" which can cause some PR problems.
The standard for conviction is beyond a reasonable doubt.
The difference is that I don't go around telling people that I don't break the rules nor do I pretend that the law is black and white. There are areas where common sense should be applied and this is one of those areas. If he wants to pretend the law is black and white, he should enforce the same black and white rules evenly.
I agree completely.
AG forgets he was cut a break and not taken to jail for fighting at a Tech baseball game. I'll spare the details, but numerous witnesses advised he started it, which should have resulted in his arrest. Now he bashes the very officers who spared him a criminal record.
Two days. Impressive.
Were those numerous witnesses you're talking about the other parties involved? Were you there? Did you gather details for yourself? Seems like you might be walking on dangerous ground by using your position as a police officer to spread around information like that unless you were absolutely certain that you are correct. May I ask why you're sparing the details?
Yes, so everyone knows. There was a fight in the student section of JC Love field where I stood my ground to more than a few McNeese baseball parents. The decision was made by both parties to drop the incident. What the man above is ignoring is that there were really two separate incidents. I pushed a man back out of my face. At least two or three minutes later, other people not involved in the original altercation threw punches at me, none of which were returned (but only because a guy was holding my arms).
It was advantageous for me to drop the charges because I did push a guy (also, you kind of know something like that will eventually happen, so to me the fight wasn't a huge deal). The guy dropped the charges because he would have had issues of his own for standing at point blank range and initiating physical contact. Additionally, he was friends with the other people who threw punches.
The difference is that I'm not claiming to be perfect. You ARE claiming to be perfect. I'm not really meaning to bash "the very officers" who spared me a criminal record, just your claim of perfection. The officer with who dealt with that situation did a good job of communicating my options and the reprocussions of those options (can't remember his name). The officer who dealt with the situation, as well as Mr. Speed who spared me the University proceedings, both acted with a sense of understanding.
You want the rest of my dealings with police while a student? Let's see, I was kicked off of HWY 167 for wearing a mask in public while wearing the gorilla suit to raise money for Reno. Technically that was a crime (I had no idea). Also, I was caught with a group playing golf on the Tech golf course after dark (I didn't think that would be a crime either). I've also had five parking violations (methinks) and three speeding tickets during that time. Point is, me = not perfect. Maybe that's why I feel like police officers should be people instead of self righteous men who apply black and white to other people while ignoring their own grey.
Dude you have officially been proven an asshole. I thought at first maybe you were one of the good Tech police officers (I thought most were actually good). Now I don't know if any exist. As far as I am concerned after reading your latest comments, you are all just a bunch of pigs.
Now my feelings are hurt...:bigcry: Get real - I have tough skin. You aren't the first person to call me an asshole and you certainly won't be the last.
If someone getting upset with a parking ticket or someone calling me an asshole is the worst thing that happens to me in any given day, I've done pretty good. Unfortunately, it isn't the worst. Not even close. You don't have the first clue. We don't wear body armor and carry weapons for parking tickets.
Please appeal the ticket. I hope you get it overturned. As a matter of fact, I wish you good luck in your appeal. Maybe you will save yourself the $50.00. Just remember....Handicapped zones are for handicapped people.
