Bad day

[juicedimpss]

I am angry. Angry that events have transpired that lead me to write this statement. To begin with, if I seem a bit untoward, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with Diamond lane cop on its own level. Assume for a moment that Diamond lane cop's fibs, while ideologically grounded in a rhetoric and practice of commercialism, are surrounded by a cloak of secrecy and "plausible denial". It therefore follows that I find that some of Diamond lane cop's choices of words in its endeavors would not have been mine. For example, I would have substituted "opportunism-prone" for "physicophysiological" and "heartless" for "phytosociological."

Trumpeted so many times, Diamond lane cop's declamations have begun to feed on themselves, to generate their own publicity, to cow their opponents not by argument but by sheer repetition, and to arouse inter-ethnic suspicion. As will be discussed in more detail later in this letter, Diamond lane cop insists that there is something intellectually provocative in the tired rehashing of unimaginative stereotypes. Sorry, Diamond lane cop, but, with apologies to Gershwin, "it ain't necessarily so." Armed only with a white shirt, pocket protector, slide rule, thick glasses, and some other neat stuff, I have determined that Diamond lane cop's cause is not glorious. It is not wonderful. It is not good. You may have noticed that the little I've written so far already buttresses the assertion that the only way for Diamond lane cop to redeem itself is to stop being so malicious. But you don't know the half of it. For starters, Diamond lane cop used to complain about being persecuted. Now it is our primary persecutor. This reversal of roles reminds me that there are two kinds of people in this world. There are those who understate the negative impact of collectivism, and there are those who expose its fulminations for what they really are. Diamond lane cop fits neatly into the former category, of course. Diamond lane cop has a strategy. Its strategy is to threaten the common good. Wherever you encounter that strategy, you are dealing with Diamond lane cop.

I overheard one of Diamond lane cop's associates say, "Diamond lane cop can change its venom-spouting ways." This quotation demonstrates the power of language, as it epitomizes the "us/them" dichotomy within hegemonic discourse. As for me, I prefer to use language to upbraid Diamond lane cop for being so disreputable. You've never heard that Diamond lane cop's intention is to goad what I call barbaric, uneducated ogres into hurling epithets at its enemies? That's because its goons have been staging a massive cover-up for quite some time now. But if you keep your eyes open, you'll notice that its reasoning is circular and therefore invalid. In other words, it always begins an argument with its conclusion (e.g., that the moon is made of green cheese) and therefore -- not surprisingly -- it always arrives at that very conclusion.

Jejune trolls are sharply focused on an immediate goal: to bombard us with an endless array of hate literature. The largest problem, however, is that throughout history, there has been a clash between those who wish to expose Diamond lane cop's malversation and those who wish to dissolve the bonds that join individuals to their natural communities. Naturally, Diamond lane cop belongs to the latter category.

Diamond lane cop believes that it is the one who will lead us to our great shining future. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. Diamond lane cop's demands are just a rhetorical ploy to get away from the obvious fact that if I didn't think Diamond lane cop would supply the chains that bind the individual to notions of self-loathing and unworthiness, I wouldn't say that it extricates itself from difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. We must, in one voice, cry out that we will not tolerate Diamond lane cop's mephitic bait-and-switch tactics. So I give you this letter. I hope it helps.

3points and $77.00, plus made me late for work.....argh

[deciuss]

[Teufelhunden]

:goof www.google.com

[deciuss]

so um hes talking about a cop in the carpool lane?

[juicedimpss]

i was only cutting across the diamond lane on rawson,then moved into the regular lane (the cloverleaf ramp) prick got me.I didnt really skip anyone, other than those on the other ramp...

[deciuss]

that sucks :(

I HATE carpool lanes...they don't do **** but hold up law abbiding citizens, and rewards those who don't care to follow the rules. :fire

I know exactly where you did that, and that turnon for the onramp was put there for the explicit purpose of the car pool. When i still had to use that onramp, nothing would torque me more than to see some lazy fvcker in that lane then switch over to the regular onramp lane on that side of rawson.

I am glad they finally started watching for people doing that crap at that onramp. Why not take the regular onramp on the north side of rawson like a normal person would and wait your f**king turn like everyone else? :flipoff2: Personally I hope they don't drop that ticket one bit but I unfortunately know they will.

I agree...even as I use car pool lanes everyday legally. I'd rather see all the lanes open to everyone. I've had people try to block me from using the carpool lane, I guess they couldn't see my kids in the car. I'm an excellent driver..

You damn well bet I'll block ****ers from using it if they're all alone, I have done and will do it every time I see it. Man thinking about this really fires me up :fire

You damn well bet I'll get around them everytime because I'm using the lane legally. Take a good look before you go "Vigilante".

Note I said "IF they're all alone" It's pretty easy to tell if they're not carpooling or if they are.

[juicedimpss]

im not saying i didnt have it coming, even if i was only in that lane for 100ft, but dont these cops realize i already pay their wages with MY property taxes?? I mean come on, there must be some CRIME to fight in O.C. Taslk about the puss way out to try meeting qouta for the month....

No, you broke the law technically. Take it to court if your that upset then to write a 6 page text on how your just another victim to the man. How about I write up a thesis on every time some one flips me off for wearing a uniform, or everytime I do something nice like helping an old lady cross a semi dangerous road because peopel in Wisconsin seem to forget that the pedestrain has the right to cross the street at any intersection, marked or unmarked. I've worked bail lift duties more than a few times, I've heard more b.s. stories spoken from one view point than you can imagine. I've seen long winded lawyers come in and defend a drunk kid that had a half pound of weed and a bottle of pills that took the police on a chase that ended with him running out of gas only to blame the police for not ending the pursuit or that they police didn't correctly identify themselves to the subject because he was unaware what red and blue lights meant.

Wha wha whaaaa, just another BCM cops are dicks post.

Get over it or go to court.


Love,
Officer As.shole.

It's pretty easy to tell if they're not carpooling or if they are.

Sometimes it's hard to see the kids in the back of a minivan, thats when I run into problems. Like I said before, I'm for all the lanes open for everyone.

Juiced: We pay enough taxes thats for sure. This state is a tax hell. Thats something that gets me fired up everytime. :fire

We hear that alot. Get over it, you pay us as.sholes that have nothing better to do than pursuit you in an unending quest to ruin your day by enforcing traffic laws bestoyed upon us by the Legislative branch of government. Last time I did check, no one citizen had his named signed on my pay check, so I guess I dont' work for anyone person.

And there is no quota, thats just the excuss and urban legend people like you use to defend your own actions to make them justified.

[juicedimpss]

pigpen,sorry if you took personal offense to my little rant.
you seem to have taken it very personally, are you an OC officer????
oh well, i guess i should be classified as a felon for this MAJOR traffic offense, I guess my voting rights are gone..
LOL

[Cjburn]

You did something that is against the law, you got busted, shtuff happens. You were late, because YOU decided to break the law, and YOUR actions caused your lateness, not the police officer doing his/her job. Traffic infractions help keep your taxes down, they're an awfully great way to make money for a municipality.

[juicedimpss]

yeah, i guess 3000 a year is pretty cheap for 900 sq foot house..
whatever, I know i had it coming, i was wrong, but i also know there is more serious crimes here also. I guess it was ok that a guy passed me in the corner turning onto rawson,through the intersection,almost causing an accident.
im out

Just as Cjburn stated, YOU were the one who broke the law and for every action there is a reaction/consequence. You knew it was wrong and illegal so there for you knew what would happen if you got caught. I dont know how much clearer one can be with this for you to understand. You broke a law. Therefore is you get caught you will pay for it just like the rest of us. No one is any better than the other one here or anywhere. The same rules apply for us all my friend.

minivan

heh.

All u gotta do is look past the soccer ball decal and you can make out small figures. Don't worry, I won't block ya.

Well he didn't get caught, you did. Spare the whining and "I pay your wages with my taxes" comment. That's so lame... and I don't even work for the govt.

I'm not quite sure why you told us what you paid in taxes? Were we supposed to feel sorry for you or something on that one?

[Teufelhunden]

whimper :rolf

I couldn't care any less. :punch:

[97PontiacW68]

Where in Oak Creek are you.. What do u drive .. might have seen you around somewhere

not to get off topic or nething.. jus curious :)

[Flight_740]

I have a question for Pig pen. How many times have you been let off for doing somthing stupid just by flipping your badge?

[Irish]

Police Officers don't get as many breaks as some people may think. They are held to same standards as everyone else, if not higher. They may get out of an occasional speeding ticket, but so can anyone else that doesn't act like a complete asshat to the officer that pulled you over. I have gotten pulled over, acted decent to the cop and got away with a warning. I find that if you don't try to bullshit them or act all lawyer tough they are usually pretty fair about ****. Just my humble opinion.

[y2kws6]

Nothing against you Pig Pen, but there might not be a quota, but there has to be a account of how many tickets you write/what for/how much. My wife and I seen 17 HWY cops on April 2nd in the morning (8'ish) from the 76th enterance to the ILL. boarder. I did get pulled over, but then with that many was not even attempting to speed.

The car pool lane is just for that. No one should skip others using that lane just as using it all together for the wrong reason. This is to help the traffic conditions and also incourage people to car pool. Save some of the environment.
Since you did not completely use the lane, you might be able to get it reduced, but I would not count on it in OC.

I haven't been ticketed since 2000, and the only Pd to have pulled me over was Butler since then, which they could have given me a ticket, had they not ventured 3 miles in to my stomping grounds of the Falls. I don't carry my badge in my wallet, why let some assclown at a bar know I'm a cop, wait for me to get drunk and jump me while I'm walking home.

Police do things in certain areas called crack downs. I have participated in a few semi crack downs on the express way. Police know areas where its easy to speed and the area surronding it is fairly safe to continually pull people over and crack down on speeding in certain areas. And yes, they do keep track of what you do, as I'm sure your job keeps track of what your doing. Why would we enforce a traffic quota when its very possible for an officer to be working an area where there is alot of calls for domestic disputes or bar areas where people are more prone to starting other forms of trouble. Granted though, you do have to prove your worth, if your not working on a report or on a call, you should be running traffic, and I think its not asking to much for an officer to make 2 traffic stops in an 8 or 12 hour shift to prove thier doing their job. If a guy works an area and there isn't much residential or commercial development, such as the south end of the Falls, the officer assigned that area should be enforcing traffic on Silver Spring, Pilgrim, Lilly, and Lisbon Roads, simply because other more serious calls are less likely to pop up there then they are in the north side of the Falls where the homes are denser and closer and thier are alot more commercial buildings and bars and a high school.
