THAT is jacked up. [:@] I wouldn't have wasted the time and energy to stop ya.....
For those of you that would like to find an off duty officer in an alley somewhere....good luck. Most of us have enough class to not hang out in alleys.
joel....I can see the officers point of view.....in 27 yrs of this stuff, I have seen your type of accident just ONE time.....so, I can understand how he felt.

Went to watch grand daughter play T Ball
saw a friend he was there he plays Soft Ball. he rode his bike some one stole his throw over bags.
On the way home we rode together had no place for batting helmet so he wore it
Started through 25mi zone new chevy 4 dr pickup with hidden lights plus him over said it was the illegal helmet (non helmet state) sites him for it because it has to be legal or not at all
also sited him for 27 in 25 then asked him are the SE2 pipes stock he said no and got a ticket for them also
We were not making noise i did not get pulled over
He was nice to officer. officer said nicely take it up with the judge
we both were just over 25 not 30
Why did he not say my pipes are ticket able

I agree that the citationprobably did not have to be written, however, I have learned a few things in the many years of working in the LEO field and one of those is that when someone is telling a story usually( not always) but usually theyleave outvery important details. And to the guys who downright despise cops, I understand where your coming from also, but think about it like this, one of your family members is in a rollover crash and they are hurt andbleeding and crying out for help on a dark rainynight and all alone, and the only person that shows up is a cop, I really dont think you would not want him or her there. Anyways, I for one would not have messed withthe baseball helmet at all.

The only big liars I've ever seen under oath are cops. (And lawyers, including Bill Clinton.)

RE: Helmit Ticket +
The cop was a ********. He made all cops look like ********* just thru association. If all the reasonably good cops would take these all these ******** cops aside and say.."Hey..yer making us all look like ********* by being such a fuggin ********." then maybe we might all start respecting and actually liking cops. Respect is earned by me,not given freely andmost of us can tell a ******** when we see one...some cops just make it more apparent. And that's a shame.

I am 55 years old and to this day I still haven`t got much, or maybe(ANY)respect for Cops.[:@] Wonder why?
I have seen this kind of thing many times in my life. I know there must be a few goods LEOS out there, but I`ve really NOT seen ONE yet.

+1 for preferring the citizen with a cell phone too. I'd need the ambulance and the fire dept. and be really happy to see them. Who needs a fkn cop strutting around acting important?

RE: Helmit Ticket +
Sounds like he was having a VERY bad day and opted to take it out on your friend. The helmet thing is crazy - never heard of being able to get a helmet ticket in a no helmet state. But 27 in a 25 is the part that gets me the most.
Perhaps he can't afford a bike and is jealous and wants to take it out on everyone he sees that is riding one - who knows?

Was the "speeding" in a construction zone or a school zone? MOST leos I know are pretty cool regarding speed as long as it's not in either of those two. I did some LE work back in the 80's and I never did chickenchit tickets like that described above. One time when my teamate on the football team had his car die in the parking lot and he needed a ride home, he tossed on his football helmet and hopped on the back of my bike. This is in helmet mandatory New York by the way. Cop pulls up next to us at the red light and rolls his window down. "What position do you play son?", Friend's reply, " Middle Linebacker, sir." Cop laughs, "Carry on then. If you were a glamour-back (Offensive back-field), I'd write you up." VERY cool cop.
