RE: YOU KNOW THE TYPE...
How does one control an ******* buddy from the backseat of your car? It's unfair to penalize one person for what another does. Why didn't you yank the fool who was flipping you off outta' the back seat and teach him something? How would you like it if you were screwed because of an idiot friend of yours that you have no control over?
My guess would be "Pick better friends"
technically, he is not being punished for the actions of his buddy. remember, he was doing something wrong to get pulled over in the first place.

The officer had already made the decision to let the guy slide, but changed his mind because of the actions of his friend.
I don't question the fact that he was cited, the officer has the right to change his mind, I just disagree with holding the wrong guy responsible for something that pissed the LEO off.

True. I agree that he deserved the citations, but not because hispassenger flipped the cop off, but because he broke the law in the first place.

I expected all the stupid (and somegood)comments when I post this. But damn there are a lot of know it all in here that will go on an on to prove there point, thinking they are never wrong.
You do not know my intentions when I made the stop… the initial stop is citable and that is all that counts… if I choose to cit then change my mind then change it back again that is all my prerogative. See I am an adult that has a job that does not require DIRECT supervision as I take it yours does.. That is because I have been tested and trained and allowed to make my own decisions. (and still held accountable if I am wrong)
But see your actions of just wanting to argue to make everyone see your point just makes me believe that you are the one in the back seat that can not keep his mouth shut and gets everyone around you in trouble… your point was made and every time some gave you an answer you want to argue about it.
Just my $0.02 on this again.

Yup, The baby cop has had his say, must be a pretty good feeling to be highly trained as you are.

P.S. usem lowley treined profesionels don"t nead no spell chicks.

RE: YOU KNOW THE TYPE...
There is an old addage that women change their minds like that. Sorry girls, as I'm sure this will offend some of you.
This guy was a jerk as far as I'm concerned. He was so bent out of shape he had to YELL his subject line like we wouldn't be able to read it otherwise.
I am a responsible person and try to obey traffic laws. Like everyone, occassionally something will catch an officer's eye and I get pulled over. I don't drink and I have no problem being a DD. But if an officer tells me, it wasn't that great an offense, you have a decent record, I'm going to give you a warning. I'm saying thank you and that I aprpeciate it. But to be held accountable for an action that someone that might be or not be drunk and the officer changes his mind, I think is poorly weak state.
I have friends and ride with folks of the law but given some of my encounters and all anyone has to do is watch the news, there is skeptism to be had. The law has all the leverage in the world when it comes down to any encounter, right, wrong or indifferent.

My job does NOT require direct supervision. I rarely see my boss. He knows how well I do my job and leaves me alone to do it. So there goes your firstassumption right out the window.
I have not been pulled over since the early nineties for speeding. The State Trooper was courteous and professional and let me go with a warning. I was courteous and respectful towards this LEO. You see, I have the utmost respect for LEO's because of who they are and what they do. Unless, of course, they give me reason not to, such as you have. So there goes your second assumption out the window right behind the first.
You may call answering posts arguing, I call it debate. Isn't that one of the things we do on these forums, or did I miss the change?
I never questioned your intentions as far as this particular stop was concerned. I have no right to do that. I never said you couldn't change your mind. I have no right to do that either.As a matter of fact, I said the opposite.
What I said was the reason you changed your mind to cit

RE: YOU KNOW THE TYPE...
Back to the top...Who the hell cares what the guy was wearing!!! I'm not in a rock band but I do wear a Led Zepplin t-shirt everyonce in a while. Maybe the guy just really liked Harley chit. Who cares if he has one, dosen't have one, rides a little on weekends or rides all the time. Hell, I respect you LEO's (my brother has been one for 20 years). The majority of the initial post was you having developed an opinion of the guy because of his attire and vehicle.

It not always the driver that gets the driver in trouble! Yes lippy passengers will get the driver in trouble if I can’t tag the passenger for anything…..
Had a car load of 20 something’s, the driver sitting in my car as I was half way through a warning citation when I noticed one sitting in back seat giving me the finger….had a little talk with him and returned to my car and tore the warning up and had the driver sign 3 citations that he was getting the warning for. He was a little confused and I just pointed to his buddy still flipping me of and said be sure to let your buddy know he is the one that cost you the $$$ in place of the warning you would of gotten because of his actions…. This driver was pissed and cussing at the guy on his way back to the car as I pulled away…
The moral of the story control your passengers’ too.

Me thinks your intentions werecrystal clear.At first you decided togive the guy a warning citation... then,changed your mind out of anger at the idiot with the finger and retaliated on the back seat shmuckresulting in 3 citations. There is no way in the world that you can convince me now, that your actions were the result of a sudden revelation (in the time it took you to walk back to your car and pick up your pen) that this driver did wrong and should be punished afterall and that your temper towards the passenger had nothing to do with it. That's absurd!
And just for an added note .... Your comment about controlling our friends ... also absurd!
