So, what you’re saying is, you don’t know your gate code. You run around your own property when you KNOW you have no business doing so. You hate the po-po and everyone that has ever been one, or will be in the future, as well as anyone who even knows someone that is the po-po. You secretly blame your father for setting you up. You have a real attitude and consider yourself above the law. You hate kittens, puppies, and unicorns. You are one of THOSE!! That about cover it?

a LEO can do his/her job without being a smartass dick, it's real easy, did it for years. Its all in attitude.

So I'm an idiot for being pissed about a cop being a dickhead?

Interesting opinion......

I didn't realize there was so many leo on this forum. Kinda makes sense out of all the lost deer threads on here during the season.....

[quote=bama1971]Montgomery police came up to me putting stuff in my dumpster at my office on a Saturday. Asked me if I had permission.

I appreciated it, hope they do that to everyone

…..Bill's police state thread changed my mind.

I had an experience on Sunday with the local PD. First I want to say that I am a supporter of LEO's and I appreciate what they do nd I'd guess for the most part their job probably sucks. That being said my encounter on Sunday REALLY pissed me off. I want y'all's opinions on it and tell me if I'm mad for no reason.

We had gone kayaking on Saturday and I was bringing my yaks back to my warehouse. My wife and I were headed to the club to work on a few projects so we were going to drop the yaks off on the way. I accidentally set off the alarm. I put in my code but not in time. When TCI (our service provider) called I gave them my name and our password. I then reset the code, left the building and locked the gate. We left and got about 5 miles down the road when my dad calls. He's the first number on TCI's call list. He said the cops were on the way to the warehouse. I explained what happened but I went ahead and turned around to go tell the cops it was all clear. Keep in mind I didn't have to do this. The cops couldn't have gotten on to the property to check things out. I went back as a courtesy.

We get back to the warehouse and I parked outside of my gate and turned my truck off. We waited a few minutes and a cop finally pulls up. This is probably 10+ minutes after the alarm had gone off. (good thing it wasn't an actually emergency) He pulls up beside me and asks "what am I doing there?" I proceed to explain what happened and he asks "why am I here on a Sunday?" "What reason do you have to be here?" "If you have a reason to be here why don't you know your code?" I continue to answer his questions. He then says "why don't you go ahead and give me your ID.....so I can check you out and cover my butt." By this time cop #2 had showed up.

In hind-sight at that point I should have told him to shove his thumb up his dickhole but I gave him my ID. He called it in and asked the dispatcher to "run this guy." I saw red at that moment but I didn't say anything. He then told the dispatcher that I was claiming to be an employee. I corrected him and said I'm the owner. He said "in that case why don't you know your code?" This went on for another few minutes and the dispatcher came back said I was "clean" and some other code/numbers. He gave me back my ID and then left.

Keep in mind I'm parked on my driveway going into my parking lot outside of the locked gate. Legally I could have been there even if I didn't own the property.

Did he go too far?
Am I pissed for no reason?
Should I have told him to go phuck the other cop in the ear?

So you're saying you became a dick head AFTER you retired? 😂

oh for sure I could be a dickhead but I let the "customer" make that first move. I could give you a list of folks I arrested that think I was a dickhead. I let them decide how the interaction was going to go first.
