How bad do you want your day ruined in lieu of saving the argument later with the dept's Internal Affairs when you can pick the time? Don't judge all cops the same.<br />Sort of like Curtis's comment about dead right.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123182758615857310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-10462595236778192982009-04-24T22:29:00.000-06:002009-04-24T22:29:00.000-06:00This will sound paranoid, but I usually ride with ...This will sound paranoid, but I usually ride with my camera on and around my neck. I do it to take pictures as I see them arise, but I have also known, that in a situation like this, I would hit video record in a heartbeat. I tend toward the fight for your rights side of things, so video is a good tool (that cop in NYC comes to mind)Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-46792990587594873292009-04-24T13:16:00.000-06:002009-04-24T13:16:00.000-06:00Yesterday, two bike riding police officers were co...Yesterday, two bike riding police officers were coming towards me as I was on my bike also. One was riding on the wrong side of the road while the other was weaving back and forth across the center line. It was rush hour and I rode right between them. Is cycling just a form of fun for these guys or do they have no appreciation of what is right and wrong when on a bike?<br /><br />Education of law enforcement officers, the front line of respect and STR, is greatly needed. Ugly story and unfortunately an indication of what many cyclists may be up against. The call to support your rights takes me back to the 60s.<br />JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-40009236743215580232009-04-24T11:51:00.000-06:002009-04-24T11:51:00.000-06:00So, you can get convicted for doing something NOT ...So, you can get convicted for doing something NOT illegal. That, and being tazed, strike me as pretty good reasons to roll over, no matter how unfair the situation is. Like that old public service spot: "You could be right.
