i hate cops

[jimmyboy8301]

maybe where you live, but where i work ( i work with about 150+) officers i would have to say that most of them are decent guys and are just trying to do their job. Listen, you are going to have a bad apple in the bunch everywhere you go. And it can be said that there are many unfair and unjust judges out there also, taking their bad days out on whatever poor dumb schmuck happens to walk into the court. This carries out for any other profession. I find it hard to believe, actually I don't believe that every single cop you have ever dealt with in your life has been a dick. FYI no one here is saying cops should be allowed to do what they want when they want, but believe me they have far more traning in what to look for than you.

this doesn't even warrent an answer, however i highly doubt the officer decided one day to go tint his patrol car at his own expence because it "looks cool". Many of the patrol cars that are tinted are stealth cars, and K-9 cars. The main reason for tint on police cars is because they are stuck inthe cars sometimes as much as 12-16 hours a day and the constant glare from the sun obviously is not good and the tint lessons the strain on the eyes. You cant have tint because when an officer stops your vehicle he needs to see in the vehicle and tint prohibits that. Many ambulances are tinted also.

So cops in other states dont need to see whats inside your car when you get pulled over? weird...

almost every other state has SOME type of tint law, NJ just happens to be one of the most strict states as they are on most things. Or did you not realize NJ was a strict state. Hey guess what we need front plates too, weird huh?

i'll tell you what - show me where i said it's not an honorable, respectable profession, and i will acquiese. you're acting like a woman when she argues, bouncing around from one subject to another; because she is not winning her points she bounces over to something else that she thinks is winnable.

i never said i don't have respect for cops. i never said they are honorless cretins that should be treated like lepers. i just don't think they, because of their job, should be treated any differently. and just because i don't put a badge on and strap up doesn't mean i know nothing about what they do. remember, law enforcement is a huge money maker - you either know a cop personally or know a criminal personally, it's big business no matter which side of the fence you're on. i have a brother--in-law and a nephew that are state cops. no one forced them to go into that profession, they made up their own minds. and i treat them no differently than any of my other relatives.

ohh im aware that jersey has strict laws and thats why i hate it. I cant even pump my own gas for gods sake! I used to live in florida and no tint laws, no emissions, ur car can be as loud as you damn please and i didnt have to wait for a douchetards at the gas station to get to my car to pump my gas. I know, i know i should move back, right?

[jimmyboy8301]

did you check the link?? florida DOES have a tint law. Tint can only be 15% on back windows and no darker than 28% on the front with a 3% margin. The windshield tint can only come down to the AS1 line. Yea I agree that jersey sucks, but ya live here and have to deal with it. Your post made it sound as if you were shocked we can't tint our front windows at all.

You posted 1 minute before i did so i didnt have a chance to check it out. And i know that jersey has tint laws, ive gotten a ticket twice for it before i took it off. Yea i guess they do have a law in florida about tint but i guess its poorly enforced.

See, that's where we disagree. When was the last time a firefighter thanked the engineers that were responsible for saving HIS life? Rather indirect I know, but it's a point I'm trying to make. The engineer might not have the desire to go into a burning building for money but he/she did a huge service in helping the front-line so to speak. It's a mutual respect from my perspective. Nobody earns more respect from their choice of profession. My final reasoning on this subject is this; If I was somebody's only hope I would do the same job as the professional and not expect to get paid or have a parade. So if you're in the profession for fame and glory then I don't like you. It should be more about doing your community a service because you get paid to do what you signed up to do, not paid to be worshiped. If you need an ego boost because things are slow going then fine, I'll give it to you because you need it more than I do.

see i know not all cops are bad, i have some friends that are cops and ive gotten to know alotta local cops and most are bad, its just the ones that are, REALLY ARE bad around here, especially when they examine everything on your car and pile you up with tickets and take your pba/fop card. i mean, yeah cops take alotta ****, but they should always be so jumping to conclusions sometimes.

im not sayin it is jus for fame and glory...i cant say all take this perspective towards it but its not for the money its goin home at nite knowing u have made a difference..i understand what you are gettin at but for the most part my argument is without these people takin the resk they do who would? so i look up highly to these people be it a local firefighter or cop or marine in iraq... Â* back to the other comment by jims 69camaro. Â*the reason i came off as i did was because of the way you approched it in the first post towads "no one is forching them to go do what they do go out an risk their lives". Â*i guess i took it wrong but i got worked up towards the way you worded it.

thats what the sign says Â* also some times (not all of them) i tryed i got yelled at.

Here i even googled it for you.

Law: You cannot pump your own gas. All gas stations are full service and full service only.

Country: United States

State/Province: New Jersey


Explanation: Oregeon and New Jersey are the only two states in the United States that require attendents to pump gas at gas stations. There are many arguments for it, but many are not very well substantiated. It is claimed that it should not matter because gas prices are lower in these two states. Insurance costs for gas stations go down slightly if a "qualified attendent" is pumping the gas, but they must also pay for the cost of hiring an extra worker. Combined with varying taxes on gasoline between states, its true affect on gas price is anyone's guess. It is also claimed that having your own gas pumped for you is superior because drivers don't have to brave the elements and fiddle with the gas pump and their gas cap. With the exception of a few elderly and disabled persons, most people are perfectly capable of getting out of their car in a covered area for five minutes and place a nozzle in their gas tank. Another argument is that by forcing consumers to go to gas stations with attendents, it helps out the job market. Opponents argue that employing these people is merely a waste of money, and if jobs are needed, other opportunities could easily be created (i.e. city beatification). Regardless of the truth behind the matter, Oregon and New Jersey are keeping this law on the books and fully enforcing it.
