My Officer was very nice about things, said he even got a ticket recently which I am not so sure of but I am 41, my long hair is long gone and I don't want any "new" relationships starting up if you know what I mean.

That's the thing -- an officer can be courteous & polite (maybe even friendly) and treat you with a degree of respect, and even if he writes you a ticket, you won't be as inclined to think of cops in a negative way. Unfortunately, not all cops seem to realize that, and I think their attitudes tend to create a poor image of cops in general.

I will say that the few times I have been pulled over, the officers have, for the most part, been polite and respectful -- and I have always reacted in the same way.

I am not pouting, I am asking a question. That is all friend. To be clear, I do not support the comment about a Police Officer getting killed. In my opinion, the limits are too low in Boise. That is why I have received tickets and I was curious if driving my truck daily would exacerbate it. But that is just my opinion. Let's take it down a notch and just end this thread. It's gone bad.

I think we should start a thread and post nothing but positive things the police do. Like the cop that holds a guys hand who was just involved in a car accident and is trapped in his vehicle. Trying to comfort the guy and reassure him he isn't going to die, even though every limb is broken with compound fractures and things aren't looking good with EMS over 1/2 hour away. Or the cop that solves a burlgary and gets the woman's original wedding ring back for her and she is so happy to get it back she breaks down in tears. Or the cop that gets a confession from a Grandfather who molests his grandkids and put him away where he belongs.

There are a lot of jack@$$ cops out there, I realize that. But there are also ones who genuinly care about helping people.

Cops love my truck. I was eating dinner with the wife...cop came over. Got out of his car...circled it, came to the window, pointed at the truck, and gave me two thumbs up

Only time I get any attention from the police is just say they like my truck and to BS.

I've been pulled over several times for not wearing my seat belt - I have no shoulder harness. Every time I remind the officer that in 72 a shoulder harness was optional, assure them I was wearing my lap belt, and that I am completely legal. Most officers are cool about it, but one young sheriff's deputy didn't like being told he was wrong and detained me for 35 minutes while he was "running my info".

My blazer blends in I guess as I dont get too many tickets in it... I get more tickets in the better halfs car.
