In this next short video, a 12-year-old named Jeremy approaches a Las Vegas Metro motorcycle cop who has illegally parked his motorcycle on a sidewalk, apparently in order to get a soft drink. The young man politely asks the cop if he had any emergency reason to park, and then requests his badge number. The cop refuses to answer either question, and asks Jeremy if he is a lawyer. Jeremy reiterates his request for a badge number. The cop continues to refuse, and eventually drives off. Perhaps the officer can be identified through this footage and reported to a superior who can work with him to correct his misunderstandings about his relationship to the law and his obligations to the public.

Both of these were on http://boingboing.net/ and

about one in six drive home the govt vehicle.

About 90 of the one in six, if I read that correctly, don't even live in the San Diego county.

the article is at http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/mar/26/tp-sheriff-grows-take-home-auto-program/

Why would they? They get to drive a govt vehicle home, they get the gas for free, and expense the entire commute.

http://www.utsandiego.com/video/play/53813/ for a video recap of the article

Must be nice to be driving a cop car, not even a chance of getting a ticket, and not have to think about how much driving costs you... because it doesn't. And your private vehicle? Less miles, less use, less insurance costs to you.

Nice "benefit" perk

to explain the situation before watching the video (skip the first minute) the driving takes plave in North Carolina, the asshole in the police car is a South Carolina sheriff, out of state, and holding up taffic but even worse, not acting professionally when the videographer waits til the freeway opens up from 2 lanes to 3, hits the right hand new lane to get around the cop in the leftmost lane, the suv being a good boy in the right lane...   so once around the traffic block caused by the cop and the suv that didn't want any problems, the jackass out of state sherriff instead of using a radio or cell phone to call locals to notify them of speeding past the posted limit videographer, pulls all the way around the guy, and hits his brakes. Causes a collision.

so always have your cell phone, or all cell phones in the car on video recording when tangling with cops. You already know they don't follow the laws, often break them, will arrest you in a flick of the eye, and then lie about their unprofessional behavior. You see, they break laws, act like ass hats, and then realize that they have to protect themselves from your accusations in order to keep their high paying jobs, and save their pension providing career. You have any idea how motivated that makes them to not allow you to show their illegal behavior?





in the above, it's the handle she ( a blond who isn't aware she is perpetuating the stereotype of)  has in her hand that makes it comical




looks like an attempt at a motorcycle based on the "I Robot" movie cars

I actually do spot cops like this, it's rare to get to photograph them like this though.


But I circled back to get a shot from across the intersection, to give him a chance at redemption if he wasn't sitting to snipe the oncoming traffic, but that is exactly what he's doing. Big surprise right? Is there anything impossible about a cop hanging out where they can be seen?

So for the first time in 6 years of posting photos of police behaving badly, I can applaud the motorcycle cop here for standing out from the worst behaving cops you'll hear about, the vast majority that I've photographed parking in the streets, not the parking spots, smoking cigars in their cop car at a gas pump, parking against the traffic pattern,  radar gunning from the shade where they are hard to see, and all the rest.

thanks Steve for the story! (he wanted me to see the cool tow truck (side forks that allow a narrow street parallel parked car to get hoisted onto the flatbed while parked beside it in traffic))

Here is the great part, it was all captured on a security camera across the street, and the car owner was smart enough to check for that. She's avoided the fines (total $365 USD) got her car back, an apology from the mayor, and publicly (using facebook) exposed this scam.

Top photo from http://www.scoutingny.com/ I'm pretty sure

maybe you see why. The bottom photo is from the Clairemont Fire Department wall of interesting photos http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/09/betcha-never-heard-of-aerial-truck.html and you can see that it's an "Aerial Truck" and I didn't make that up... and that has been posted for over a year and I've never had a comment about the term Aerial Truck yet. I still think it's pretty odd.

in this photo provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a silver Jeep Cherokee that suspected smugglers were attempting to drive over the U.S.-Mexico border fence is stuck at the top of a makeshift ramp early Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012 near Yuma, Ariz. U.S. Border Patrol agents from the Yuma Station seized both the ramps and the vehicle, which stalled at the top of the ramp after it became high centered. The fence is approximately 14 feet high where the would-be smugglers attempted to illegally drive across the border. The two suspects fled into Mexico when the agents arrived at the scene.

It is believed that the headlights make for ideal lighting solutions when growing marijuana indoors. The high-intensity discharge bulbs give off more heat and require much less power than standard grow lamps, yet, critically, they offer the right quality of light and heat. According to De Telegraaf, as many as 20 Porsches fell victim to this trend, resulting in thousands of dollars in damage. The cost of a typical HID assembly for hydroponics can run from $100 to $500, and up.

It just annoys me to see cops doing things they give tickets, or probably give tickets for. I know I'd get the 3rd degree and a couple hundred dollar fine if a cop rolled up on me parked like this
