A LOT OF THINGS THE PUBLIC WANTS COPS TO BE AWARE OF HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, SLICED AND DICED RECENTLY…OK, IT’S ONLY FAIR THAT COPS WOULD LIKE THE PUBLIC TO KNOW A FEW THINGS. MAYBE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A SITUATION LIKE THESE…LET’S TAKE A LOOK:
- YOU ARE RIGHT, I SHOULD BE OUT
DOING SOMETHING ELSE LIKE CATCHING REAL CRIMINALS. BUT NO, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU A TICKET BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SEE THE BIG SIGN THAT HAS THE SPEED LIMIT IN BIG BOLD NUMBERS - YOU CAN’T TALK YOURSELF OUT OF A TICKET..BUT YOU CAN TALK YOURSELF INTO ONE.
- “I DON’T WANT TO BOTHER YOU WHILE YOUR EATING, BUT…” WELL, YOU ARE BOTHERING ME, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL CONTINUE.
- DO NOT USE COPS TO SCARE YOUR KIDS. “IF YOU DON’T EAT YOUR VEGGIES I’LL HAVE THAT COP PUT YOU IN JAIL”
- ON A RELATED NOTE, THAT COP WOULD LOVE TO SAY TO THE KID…”HEY LITTLE BUDDY, LET’S PUT YOUR MOM/DAD IN JAIL AND WE GO TO SIX FLAGS. I DON’T PUT LITTLE KIDS IN JAIL, I PUT GROWN-UPS IN JAIL. NOW, LET’S GO TO SIX FLAGS.”
- CSI AND NCIS AND ALL THOSE OTHER SHOWS ARE NOT REAL. THEY ARE CALLED “FICTION” FOR A REASON.
- EVERYONE WHO ISN’T A COP KNOWS HOW TO DO THE JOB BETTER THAN THE COP HANDLING THE SITUATION.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS COPS WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW…WANT MORE? CHECK IN TOMORROW. I’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DIG UP.
STAY SAFE!!
