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

OK kids, Chris has a point.

Thanks Scallywag for teaching the newbs cops about La Jola public boat lunch.

For the record - BWE loves law enforcement.

Podaker · 05-01-2009, 03:13 PM

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 · 05-01-2009, 04:31 PM

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.

This has become a scary discussion. Some of you say you hate the cops. That is not a reasonable opinion. Yes some may make a mistake now and then and some may be less than professional at times. Most of the time, however, they do their jobs, (a difficult one by the way), with the best interests of the public in their hearts.

As Scallywag reported, once the Seargent showed up, he set these rookies striaght. The Seargent was probably embarrased that these guys did not know the local laws and I suspect that these officers got an earful back at the shop. I bet they will not make that mistake again.

IMHO, Scallyway handled things the best way he could. The net result was no harm, no foul.

Take a chill pill guys.

You can definitely get a DUI on a bicycle...

Shorty · 05-01-2009, 07:43 PM

I am with the cops on this one,,every one knows the yakkers at LJ carry bombs and weapons of mass destruction and they need to be stopped and searched regurely

Not to worry those these guys are busy booking people for walking on foot paths at the moment.

herefishyfishy! · 05-01-2009, 11:36 PM

Both my brothers in laws are cops also...they are both dueches in my opinion...just saying...

bigbarrels · 05-01-2009, 11:53 PM

Now I'm going to keep some donuts in my vehicle.....just in case

Holy Mackerel · 05-02-2009, 06:22 AM

This thread has gone stupid quick, someone with power please shut it down. I am all for free speach, but all our websites are being watched by enviros, etc. We as kayak fishermen do not need to portray ourselves in this manner, esp when things can get taken out of context, and used against us. If you do not think it will be used against us, then you need to attend an MLPA meeting.

Scallywag, sorry for derailing your thread, I feel responsible for that.

Everyone please stop responding to this thread.

Holy Mackerel · 05-01-2009, 05:18 PM

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...
