Quotas are illegal in New Jersey. However performance objectives are not. Try and figure that one out. I can’t complain too much because if we write 10 a month they leave us alone. It could be higher. You might ask why any tickets at all? Well we have been hired and are paid to enforce the laws, including the motor vehicle laws. It is a unique job in that most of the time you are your own boss on the road unless sent on a call. TPTB like to see some evidence that you are not just reading the newspaper but are on the road patrolling. There is no other way to quantify the amount of work we are doing. Some supervisors think it is more important than others. Like I said its part of the job. Not my favorite part but I did take the job so I take the good with the bad. Otherwise I could have stayed chained to my cubicle. bleech.
Prove it! You don’t have that on tape do you?
Loach, glad to hear your little girl is feeling better. I think you have had a great first pitting. I am jealous.
I am also very glad to hear that “Quotas are illegal in New Jersey”.

Yes I am pretty happy with my first Pitting, I hope they all go this way. I’m still a little miffed that the original thread shitting ruined a perfectly good GQ thread. I think I’ll just let this one sink to the bottom now.
That’s great, but the third out was recorded about ten minutes ago and the other team is scared to take the field until you stop stacking garlic fries atop your head and suspending soft pretzels from your erect penis.
5 pages, no shit you should be happy! Pretty cool. And at least you noticed it. My only Pitting, I didn’t even notice it until it was page 3 and several people had jumped in to defend my comment.
But I don’t think it counts unless the opposition has, you know, a point.
Not counting the one on the top of their head.
Now you are just showing your jealousy.
**Besides many pittings are completely pointless. **
Having read the thread, I have a few suggestions:
-
change the thread title to ‘Loach is a cop who knows his business’
-
could we club together to send Eleusis a dictionary (so he can look up ‘hypothetical’, legal’ and ‘pig-headed ignoramus’)
-
I’ve never seen such unanimity here. Cops, prosecutors, defence lawyers, people who’ve been stopped, left wingers, right wingers, Americans and foreigners all agree with Loach. *
*clearly this means Eleusis is the victim of a clever conspiracy. :rolleyes:
We’ve all lost track of the original question. And I’m sticking with my original opinion. Loach is a dickhead for stealing the guy’s gun and using it to crack his windshield during that illegal search. What kind of monster are you, Loach?
Hey, at least Loach didn’t give him a ticket for littering.
Had she consented to the search I doubt that any evidence resulting from the consensual search would be thrown out. Giving permission to the police takes care of all sorts of rights issues.
Just in case he decides to come back, I have a question:
Eleusis , if (hypothetically, of course) some scumbag breaks into your house and commits some unspeakable horror against you or one of your loved ones, who do you plan on calling?
And if said scumbag is arrested during a routine traffic stop for, oh, I don’t know, maybe a cracked windshield , and the officer finds a weapon and some of your worthless shit in his car, are you going to demand that he be released because the officer didn’t have PC to search the vehicle?
You have a lot of stones calling Loach a dickhead!
And calling the windshield cracked!
Oh, wow. Someone actually said something worse than what Eleusis said. You actually don’t think police should have to respect our basic constitutional rights?
Wait, hold on (checks between lines)–nope, didn’t say that at all. But what if the driver was acting in a suspicious manner–as someone who just commited a crime just possibly would? What if the vehicle stopped matched the description of one seen leaving the crime scene?
I’m not saying all cops are perfect, but they have a tough job that sometimes requires a judgment call. Believing the worst of them only makes their job harder.
Like it or not, they are the only line of defense between law-abiding citizens and criminals. As long as they don’t abuse their authority, I have no problem giving them a little leeway.
Or would you rather try living in a society without them?

YMMV
Priceless!
Good job, Otto. There’s hope for you yet.
Pulled over and ticketed, yeah. Why the hell not?
What better place for my first post.
I have a(n) (un)healthy disdain for the law, but even I am siding with Mr Loach here. Although illegally stopping a guy and switching his intact-windshielded-car for one with a crack is a bit over the top…damn cops and their evidence planting!
