Re: how far do you think cops go to read this ****?
Just curious who you guys call when you get into a serious car/bike accident? Or someone breaks into your house/apt or steals your car/bike?
Not saying I've been treated the right way every time, and not saying I've stopped everytime either, but lots of people blame the cops despite the fact that their actions put them in that position.
I've been cut more breaks by being respectful and honest than by the "FTP" attitude. I got caught doing 157 in a 55 (just gotten my bike and before I started running). He could have easily hauled my *** off to jail, then I would have had my license pulled, etc. but because I didn't argue with him and made it clear that I understood I was wrong he only gave me a *Warning*. And that wasn't the only time.
And no, I'm not a cop. Just a fellow biker that thinks the "FTP" attitude doesn't help you out at all.

Re: how far do you think cops go to read this ****?
The point I was trying to make is this: At the end of the day, the legal system supersedes any opinions we have of it. Meaning that if we break the law, we WILL face the consequences. That being the case, by not being cooperative or being a dick, you're not doing yourself any favors. Even though I've thought it in my mind, I didn't show that and got a break. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever gotten fully charged with something I did.

No argument here. They've tried to hit me with stuff I didn't do, speeds I wasn't doing, etc. All I'm saying is that if we have to deal with them, we're better off doing so in a respectful manner than a "**** you" manner.

Yes. But when you are NOT breaking the law, not doing anything wrong, and a cop comes and ***** with you, THAT is what gives us the FTP mentality.

Obviously you act respectful if you don't want to get in trouble.. I don't think anyone in this thread says they tell a cop to **** off at any point in time..
Having the FTP mentality, and actually telling a cop to go **** himself are two TOTALLY different things.
Bad cop

You do realize when people say **** the police on a forum, they are NOT saying it to a cops face right?

And I'm not trying to get into a debate with anyone. I'm not a fan of them myself but I swallow my pride when I have to if it'll save my *** from a big ticket or getting arrested.
