just for the record, in CA you absolultly can get a DUI for opperating just about any vehical, bike, surfboard, skateboard, snowboard, boat atv golfcart, barbie bigwheel, and of course kayaks....also i never ever ever argue with the officers, i awnser them honestly and respectfully, if i have a problem I "tell it to the judge!!!"

[Holy Mackerel]

This was last night, I saw you in a red tandem hobie. I landed around 8pm... That'd suck to be harrassed like that, the sign should have cleared up any misunderstanding.

FWIW, lots of bait in the water, didn't catch anything.

[Billy V]

Those 2 Cops sound like Clowns. lmao
-Where were they Cops from...??? Mars..?

Every self respecting Man, Woman, and Child in the county knows that there is a public launch at La Jolla Shore.

-Let alone a couple of dumbbell cops that "Work in the Town of La Jolla"

[-scallywag-]

Chris,
yeh that was me (the only other yak out there...), sorry I wasn't more friendly but i'm kinda a loner like that...i'll say whats up next time!!!..seems like i see you out there alot....AND yes the bait was crashing all night!!! the whole way in and out was non stop bait hitting the surface...it was like a jceviche video or somethin, however i think most of the rucus was caused by the barrys....did any of you bait come back with the marks to support my theory??

[erinoo]

Yea they made a mistake, luckily no one else ever does. They are only dumb bell cops when you don't need them.....

Dude, we just dated ourselves

i hate the cops!! I live about six blocks from the boat launch and my family has had our cars broken into and items (stereos, sunglasses, clothing, cd's, even the change in my ashtray) stolen. 6 times this happened. the last two times we got these punks on video!! one time stealing license plates off one of our trucks, and the other they broke in but there was nothing they wanted but the change in the ashtray. we had still photos that were clear as day of these a$$holes and the video to go with it of them looking around with flashlights. we called the police (what a joke) to file a report and turn over the photos and video. no response, then a cop came to our door one day(a couple of months later) asking if we had seen anything suspicious the previous friday night because 2 houses were broken into. after i told him "sorry i didn't see anything" i told him my story about the video and photos and he said i should call in about it! but he didn't want the evedince as he is not a detctive. mabey they should patrol the neiborhoods instead of worring about a kayaker that was obeying the law.


sorry about my rant but i don't care for the service i get from my tax dollars

You say that like Cops actually do something for You....
-- Beside causing you grief, or wrecking your life for the same stuff they do themselves. LoL
Thats how it goes for the Large majority.

Most are hypocrites who collect a paycheck from your tax dollars, nothing more.

A Gun, and a Badge, and a License to steal all you want.

Don't kid yourself, I know more about the inner workings of Police than most people can ever imagine, as my office was stationed next to the Chief's Office.

of course there are bad apples, but if you put things in perspective, our police force is great and we are so very lucky to live here...thoughout the whole ordeal i was never in fear for my life, or that any of my property would be taken, sure it was a little frustating, but had i been in mexico, things would have been much more exciting.....it was a simple mistake on their part....AND I DON'T HATE COPS, I JUST HATE GETTING BUSTED WHEN I MAKE THE DECISION TO BREAK A LAW !!!!

[Holy Mackerel]

I don't dislike cops either, my two brothers in law are police officers. You answered a lot of my questions with your testimnoy above. Still not sure why they needed to search you, and the sign didn't clear up their lack of knowledge of the boat ramp.

C'mon... So that makes you an expert. Leave the junk out of it. You only hear the bad things which leads you to believe that's the rule, not the exception.

I too see patrol cars making lane changes without a signal, going just as fast as the citizens they pulled over the day before, not stopping completely at stop lights/stop signs (I got a video red light violation for almost $400 a couple of years ago too). But the bottom line is it's a thankless job and when we really need them they'll be there. I have also been hassled at the launch from a squad car parked on the boardwalk. I gased it on the way out so I didn't get stuck in the loose stuff where the sand meets the asphault. Cop thought I was screwing around and I explained my case. He understood and sent me on my way.

For a broken window and some stolen change they're not going to come out. Unless there's an officer around the corner they're not going to make it in time to stop anything. Why send an officer to come take a report when you can call one in over the phone. Get an alarm or don't keep anything in your car or both. I too have also been a victim of a smash and grab. Even though there was nothing in my car other than a carseat (no change, cd's, sunglasses...nada). Now I'm more vigilant and don't have any problem addressing the issue myself. You have the right to protect your own property.

And for the comment about not being happy with the service your getting for your tax dollars. Would you do what they are supposed to do for what they make? Not saying it's right to be a shitbird PO and as a matter of fact I find it dispicable. But I know it's not the majority. You want to complain about the police? Move to TJ.

You have the right to file a complaint. I would suggest you do so -Scallywag-. But I think the peanut gallery could leave out the cop bashing. Remember that Crime pays more than to protect and serve.

now I hate you!








Just Kidding Podaker...

Ok, this thread is deteriorating. Being a police officer is thankless, I know my brothers are good men, and I could never do their job, NO WAY! Just like all professions, there are good, and bad individuals.

Let's get back to fishing...

Hmmm...sounds like you may have been in the pokie a few times...you really are an expert..Sure there are bad cops, just like there are bad docotors, attorneys and even fisherman, but most of the ones I know are stand-up guys, with more integrity than, well I won't say. Like someone else said, TJ is always an option......Hey lets just go fishin.....

Not in the pokie, but sure ground up a few bad cops that thought they were above the Law.
I didn't say they were all bad news, but the ones that are quickly destroy the confidence of the public and undermine the system of laws.

I don't know about being an expert, but I am good at what I do.

Chris I'm sure your brothers are good people.
