I don't even want to get in to how racist cops are over here. Short answer: yes I have had run-ins with the Po Po, but I have never been given a ticket or arrested.

The Police and Army have never got on well with me.
Uh, careful there. In Canada, "peelers" means strippers.Originally Posted by Mister Adequate
Funnily enough, the paragraph:Uh, careful there. In Canada, "peelers" means strippers.still makes perfect sense if you interpret it that way.
The New Zealand police force are responsible for some of the most traumatizing events of my life, having used a combination of excessive force and negligence to fail to do their job. I cannot comment on the United States police, other than it worries me that they carry guns, and sometimes I pretend to be this guy:
I've gotten traffic tickets a few times. The cops weren't rude, I suppose. One was nice enough to hurry my ticket when he saw I was a teacher on my way to work.
The only bad interaction I've had with a cop was when BJ and I were teenagers. It was pretty late and we were on our way to one of those obscure places at the edge of town where teenagers go to drink and make out and the like when we ran into a dead-end. The area was under construction, and they were turning a through street into two cul de sacs. It was just a patch of dirt at the time and it was late so he just drove over it. A cop happened to be nearby, pulled us over, asked BJ to get out of the car, and just swore at and berated him for several minutes, telling him how he could "smurf up his life" and such. For driving over a patch of dirt.
It was just really irritating.
I've had about 35 too close calls. Ha like that was a joke.
No seriously.
I've been stopped so many times where I -should- have been arrested and taken in, but there wasn't enough evidence / there was someone in the car with me that could pull off being sober enough to drive/ The cop was too lazy to do it all right.
I've also been violated by a cop, but I didn't know that what he'd done was against the law until several years later. A state male trooper did a "body search" - digging his hands in my pants pockets, my coochie (not inside my pants, but yeah), etc. I didn't know until a couple of years later that even state troopers were supposed to call for female back up when it came to searching women's bodies.
Why they're called Peelers

smurf da police!

i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
I've had a good few run in's with Police (or Gardai as they are called here). Been arrested twice. Once was when I was 16 my cousin was getting started on by some guys, I tried to defend him, what happens? I get arrested, they leave the rest there, they kick the trout out of him. Parent's had to collect me, not a pleasant experience.
Another time was when I was out in San Diego. I started to dance on a cop car bonnet (it was July 4th) and I got arrested. But instead of going to the station they sent me to a drunk tank when they found out I was Irish. They were like 'I got an Irish grandfather, you Irish are crazy man!'
Other than that the only other run in's were 3 other times being sent to the drunk tank in San D, getting into bother because I had a fake I.D., and refusing to give it to them. Other than that it's been dealing with them over drunken brawls or something. All in all though, apart from the first one, the police I've dealt with have been good people trying to listen & help. Haven't had a run in with them in years and I'm sure it will stay that way. What do everyone of them have in common? They all involve alcohol.
So.... From now pretend to be Irish is what I am really hearing.Another time was when I was out in San Diego. I started to dance on a cop car bonnet (it was July 4th
Boldly go.
The very first ticket I was issued was when I was sixteen. I got pulled over and thought that he might let me go on the moving violation I had just committed (making a U-turn without using my blinker) because I had only had my license for about two weeks but he did not and I was angry after that.He wasn't a superjerk about it, just unrelenting.
The rest of the times I've been pulled over have all included super nice cops who have let me off.
edit: oh, I lied. Rantz and I had an encounter with a super mean lady cop when an ambulance was blocking the entrance to my apartment for an hour after we had a very, very long day. Suuuuuuuperbitch.
My interactions with cops have been okay I'd say.
I was driving home late one night from work in the countryside and a cop pulled me over. He thought I was drunk driving... I wasn't, I was just tired from work! He told me to be careful and offered to follow me home to make sure I didn't die. I said "sure". Whatever, it wasn't a big deal.
Another time it was raining and I was in a new car for me and I tried to brake but I accidentally hit a lady's car on her back bumper. The lady was a mega bitch about it even though there was no damage to either car. She called the cops and a cop came, but the cop basically told her that she had wasted everyone's time. xD He didn't give me a ticket, just told me I got lucky and to try to be more careful next time.
I'z doin' donuts in my car out by Sky Harbor Airport (there's this like massive dirt area where people used to party on the weekends and stuff right before VanBuren turns into Mill Ave.. IDK if that's still a thing or not.. Anywho).. My car's a 5 speed so the person I was with was teaching me how to do donuts and I smashed a trashcan. Like.. Slid into that MFer and obliterated it - did no damage to my car, though. I'd drank like 3 40's of budweiser (I was a relative lightweight back then) and we left. I popped some gum real quick and of course got pulled over. I'd left my license & insurance & everything back at my apartment, but I knew my license # by heart, so I gave it to them. They asked if I'd been drinking (No! Of course not! with 3 empty bottles under the passenger seat...) and then said something about gang activity and we could get shot or stabbed and I should go home. Which was exactly what I -didn't- do. heh.
I've never encountered one, not that I can recall.
