Point is a lot of you guys say "Oh if you are speeding then you are breaking the law and have no right to complain" but I been harassed so many times when I was doing nothing wrong in and out of a car. Then you act like if a cop lets you go when you weren't even doing anything wrong in the first place, he is a cool cop..... he's not a cool cop if he had no reason to be harassing you in the first place.
Last night I went to meet up with some car buddies at a mall, we do a mini meet every other week and all go out to eat dinner and actually give business to the restaurants in the mall. as soon as I got off the off ramp on the freeway I was followed for about a mile to the mall, through the mall parking lot then up to the roof of the parking garage where we all meet up. Cop asked what we were doing, and the guys who were already up there said they were just waiting on me and we were all going to get dinner. The cop waited for us to get in the elevator and start heading down before he left.... I was not traveling in a line of cars, it was just me. I was not speeding, I was not blasting music, my tags are good, there was not one legitimate reason for him to follow me. I know he followed me because I'm in a sports car .....my DD stealth which is bone stock, no loud exhaust [I even swapped the cone air filter for a stock one to avoid harassment if a cop ever made me pop my hood]. My car is quiet, it's legal, but I get escorted from the freeway until I park..... Is this a "cool cop" because he didn't harass me and run my license or pop my hood when he had absolutely no reason to follow me in the first place? I'm sorry, I think following me and running my plates is harassment enough as I never broke one law. The cop was probably just smart enough to know he had nothing on me. I'm not saying every cop out there is bad. I'm just saying whether I was harassed for no reason or I even went to a cop for help, not a single one of them has ever helped me in the least bit after countless run ins with them. They say power corrupts, and when cops enforce the laws and are allowed to be above them they have all of the power. This guy killed 2 innocent people because he was irresponsible and I don't know what the laws are where this happened but it's illegal to text or talk on the phone unless you have a hands free headset to talk here in CA. This guy wants money so he can be taken care of after the injuries HE CAUSED HIMSELF.... I say take care of the guy, give him a cot and 3 hots.... in jail, for manslaughter.
