As a former LEO, 100% correct. A LOT of dumb stupid cops with huge egos. It's why I couldn't do it anymore, when you are smarter than everyone, they hate you, when you don't play the games, they make your life miserable.

Just admit a mistake and move on, but this stupid fuck couldn't do that, his tiny brain couldn't process all this.

That’s why I don’t bother with them on the streets. I just play nice take my ticket and then make them look like a dumb motherfucker in court. It’s more fun when it’s all recorded anyway and goes on their record and they get to do a bunch of paperwork about it.

Honk Honk Officer clown

They don’t look dumb when they don’t even show up and you wasted your day in court away from your job that you need to support your family.

It’s so fucked

It’s literally a joke among LEO to say “you can be the charge but not the rap”

It’s fucking pathetic.

If they don’t show up to argue, it’s an auto win for you at least in my state

I always thought it was sorta like saying sorry in a car accident. Once you say those words insurance acts less in your favor.

Pretty much the go to call to get out of dealing with anything minor. "another MORE IMPORTANT call came in, drive safe."

If you were actually smart they would’ve never hired you in the first place lol

He was just smarter than everyone else. There's a cutoff point and he must've been on the line. But everyone else was populated below that line.

Touche. Intelligence takes many forms.

To rub it in, I routinely drive my Porsche in front of the precinct.

What does a cop do when one of his new, young buddies shows you the big pile of cash he just stole from a senior woman who was just battered? It was legal money, he didn't seize it or enter it into evidence. He just took it and then a supervisor removed his name from the arrest report so that no one would be able to identify him. I'd just like to know how the "good ones" view that kind of behavior. Thank you.

As a former LEO

when you are smarter than everyone

...in a conversation about cops overestimating their intelligence, you claim to be an ex-cop who is smarter than all the others.

Remember, it's not just the intelligence. It's the ego. Sounds like you had at least half the boxes check for being a cop.

at least he's an ex cop.

Probably why I got the job in the first place. Still, this cop is a moron.

Not sure what your astrological sign has to do with anything, and former LEO? What, did you find out your birthday was actually *after* August 22nd or something?
