He's probably just a 17 y/o.

the cop would be within his rights to use deadly force.

Doesn't matter the profession. There will always be great people and bad people that do their job. "I hate cops " is a generalized statement that makes as much sense as I hate CEOs! I hate harvesters! I hate cabinet makers! I hate internet thugs! I hate EMO kids!

Who friggin cares what you think!

I think some folks are taking the Internet just a little too seriously.

You did do something wrong. You pulled out in front of the Malibu, even if he did run a stop sign they were on the main road and you were pulling onto the main road in front of them.

Good Job Evil for banning some of the trolls.

To answer a few questions, once you brake the law, unless you are within your own home, the police have the right to stop and ticket you. And whether its fair or not, the OP admitted to speeding in his original statement. That gives the cop cause to stop and ticket.

Actually kind of coincidence that I saw this thread today, it kind of happened to me a few minutes ago.

I got home from the gym, and 5 minutes later two police cars show up. They saw the 911 parked at the end of the driveway and said that someone called in that there was a loud car being obnoxious going down the street. Just shows that they can do anything even with you in your driveway, and they weren't even the ones who saw me doing anything.

If you had started, stayed, and ended in your driveway it would have been a different situation. As it was, you could have been cited for stuff you did on the public road regardless of if you dashed into home and yelled, "SAFETIES!"

i think it comes with the car. especially if you speed you stick out like a sore thumb. im not saying your wrong, you did the right thing, but with our car, and the cops these days, get used it. . . .. .

Ok just forget it. I was told by people that there supposed to pull you over in public areas if they see somethings wrong. If she wanted to pull me over, put on your lights as soon as i pulled out. Don't tail me for a block 1 phucking foot from my rear trying to intimidate me. My point here was that act neccesary? It's that kinda stuff that pisses me off and they think they can get away with it. I'm not badmouthing all cop's, but if my local town's station ever burned to the ground i wouldn't give a crap.




And native penguin, i was out on the road first, i happen to be looking left the whole time i was turning right. If he hit me he would of been at fault. He pulled out after me

sounds like you intimidated your way out of a ticket. I'm pretty sure if you had a traffic violation out on the street they can follow you home and ticket you. Your driveway is not the equivalent of home-base in freeze tag.

you keep paying homage to asswipes like that guy, i predict you won't be around long either.

killing cops? plucking out his eyeball? ladies and gentleman THAT is what happens when obsessive violent video games jack hammer a mind with a bona fide mental defect into a pile of worthless and pathetic protoplasm. his rage, which should be directed toward the emotionally absent narcissists that spawned him, is instead directed toward a dutiful officer whose only sin was to try to scrape this pos off the street on behalf of the rest of us.

...the kid is nutz
