Anybody give in to the PBA protection racket?
Over the last month, I have received atleast 3 phone calls from the fraternal order of state cops or whatever the hell they call themselves. They start the call off with "hi, smack. thanks for your past support..blah...blah....blah.....can we put you down for a 50 dollar contribution. You'll get that cool sticker to put in your window to keep you from getting a ticket errrrrr I mean show your support".
Fukkk you. I'll take my chances with local speed traps without your help.
As for showing my support, I already do by paying the highest taxes in the union. Why don't the firemen or dog catchers or mailmen or convienience store workers hit me up for money? They don't because they don't have something of value to peddle like that cool speeding pass you put in your window.
I'm not trying to turn this into a toddowen anti cop melt, but, I am so sick of these fukkers.
If you are a cop who lets a window sticker affect your ticket writing habits, you are no better than a mafia goon. Fukk you.

They give it to you because they know you think it helps. You put it in your window because you think it might help. If you want to avoid a ticket then don't speed in front of a cop.smackaholic wrote:I know for a fact that that sticker helps. Why else would they give it to you. why else would you want the fukking thing in your window.
Luth, your thought on this would be appreciated.
BTW...fuck the police sticker, you should be sportin' this one:
I know exactly what you mean. That fucking sticker saved my ass from a DWI, and from going to jail. I am sending another $ 250 tonight. Great value.know for a fact that that sticker helps. Why else would they give it to you. why else would you want the fukking thing in your window.

You believe the ambien line, TiVO?
Anyone with half a brain would want to stay around to prove that he was not intoxicated, rather than let the cop's bosses sneak him away like they did.
And was there anyone suggesting that chenron had anything more than a beer with lunch? god, you are a pathetic pos.
Back to the topic at hand. I spose a weasel like yourself looks at protection money for cops as no big deal.

I wouldn't pay it 'cause they all know who I am anyways from seeing them in the court room and/or x-examining them on the stand, so it wouldn't do any good. They either like me or the hate me. Most cops are pretty cool to 'us', but they would all love to bust us for something, with a DUI being pretty high on the list.smackaholic wrote:I spose a weasel like yourself looks at protection money for cops as no big deal.
Should YOU pay it? Probably not.
Should they call and strong arm? Mmmmm no.
Would calling and asking nice for money to help kids or something be okay? Sure.
Is the sticker thing a scam? Yes.
Should they be 'allowed' to make these calls? Yes.
As for Pat... Just a simple question about your evidence.
they said on local tv, that that money doesn't go to your local police department, it's a foundation that only some state offieces and departments acknowledge!
and NO i don't give to them!
i give to Backstoppers, local group where money goes to family of deceased Policeman who die on the job. Helps with their bills,college for kids, living expenses, etc. Great Charity in my Opinion.

how 'bout the families of those that die doing something other than being a cop. I have this thing they call life insurance. Cops should as well. Iam also fairly sure that the families of cops whacked on the yob receive some sort of pension or whatever. Probably better than I have provided through my employer.

Does not take a witness counsler, it take's a mother fucking breath test. Which dude refused to take since, he probably paid them off any way.You mean booze? Got any proof to back that up like oh say a witness that saw him drinking before he peppered his friend in the face, I mean drove?
So he walks and does the old rehab thing blah blah blah,
Then right on cue the screaming monkleys throwing their legal shit . Amazing you attorneys really thinks any body gives a fuck about what you think.
Hows it feel to be damn near as low as the criminals you serve ??

Honestly, the sticker thing is news to me. I've heard of solicitors calling people on behalf of the cops for different things, but I haven't heard of or seen one of the stickers. I have however seen Fire Department stickers and such.
The area that I worked in was high in property crimes/drug use. Burglaries, auto theft, theft, meth and heroin were the basic stuff I handled. Family beefs, bar fights, dog fights, shit like that. Typically, I wouldn't really have that much time to write a lot of tickets. I only did it to drive out some POS doper/crook from my district. Tow his car a few times and hopefully he'd want to move to a different district so he could be anonymous for awhile.
If I stopped a cop from a neighboring county or town, I wouldn't cite them. I would if there was someone hurt, but I think I've only stopped two or three during my career. I myself was stopped once and was shined on, thankyou.
Now that I'm retired I don't know what would happen. My drivers license is in my wallet behind the police ID, which I like to have it quickly visible in case I have to use it etc. Rarely do I carry a weapon as I just don't go to shaky places or am out late at bars etc. I'm usually in my jammies and watching the boob tube, hoping I could make it until the 11 PM news.

Really Derron. I wouldn't make many generalizations about his. clients. The only one I'd probably make is that all of his clients need a better attorney

I give to the State Troopers FOP, or whatever it is, and it is more than $50 a year ya cheap bastard. I do use the sticker. I am not under any delusions that is ever going to get me out of a ticket though. I don't need that to get out of a ticket though; speaking with respect to officers goes along way. They're just doing their damn jobs, protecting us, for shitty pay. If you can't afford a speeding ticket then don't fucking speed.
I will say that my daughter has gotten me out of atleast 2 tickets on I-10; troopers for some damn reason see a baby and just start acting like women, go figure.

In NY, there are no legit "PBA" groups that do phone solicitation. The attorney general's office even has warnings to let folks know that and how to deal with the scammers. My next door neighbor is a deputy sheriff and the yutzes who do the "PBA" phone scam even tried to ask him for money. He laughs about how he screwed around with the guy's head on the phone before dropping the "oh, by the way, I'm a cop and what you're doing is against the law..."
I've got legit PBA stickers from cop relatives and they've told me as I slapped the things on my car that they don't mean crap since any yahoo can get one. The magistrates' association stickers, on the other hand...(my mom was a town court clerk and used to toss me those).

what is the problem? I just don't get cops or anybody else whinning about how horrible/dangerous their yob is. This is probably because I live in a state where cops are pretty damn well paid. Particularly in places like the cities where they actually do have a modicum of risk associated with the job. For the rest, their drive to work is the riskiest thing they do.
