You being a former cop moose, there is some thruth to what you said.
My newphew is a cop also in West Palm and has told me how dirty the cops are and If I get pulled over by a cop it had better be, "yes sir" and "no sir," because of the evidence they can plant on your person or your vehicle. I would never give a cop permission to a vehicle search. My newphew also carries a throw down with him in case he shoots someone and the suspect doesn't have a weapon, he's going to provide it for them. I also know a cop that I went to skool with and he has a very warped mind and thats what it takes to be a cop, its a fine line and same charter that cops have that crooks do, it takes the same kind of mentality.
Thank goodness for vedio cameras over the past 20 yrs that these cops now know we're on to them and have caught there dirty acts on film. Cops always stick together and will bail each other out when sh!t hits the ceiling but at least with a camera, it don't lie.
I just don't trust them. Bobby
