Your Law Enforcement Questions

Have you ever stopped anyone on a mission from god?
Actually... yes. But she was obese, old, and clad in a nightgown. She repeatedly screamed "gift of Samson," and attempted to break out of fastened restraints. This worked until she got an injection of Vitamin H from a VERY kind nurse.
 
Do you ever get the urge to drive around in a Judge Dredd helmet yelling "I am the law"?

What goes through your head when you pull over a car that has either mirror tint or super dark tint on the windows so you can't see the driver?
 
Have your own personal morals ever run counter to the law? ie have you ever felt bad about arresting someone.
Sometimes the Domestic Violence Act in combination with my department's policy can result in arrests that I think are unfair... I think I've touched on this one before - had to arrest a lady because she inflicted bodily harm to her husband at a bar by striking him with a beer glass. This was as a result of years of abuse, culminating in him flirting with/necking with another woman in front of her. She intended to hurl the beer inside at him, not the mug. Because there was visible injury to the d-bag, I HAD to arrest her. I felt horrible.

Occasionally... *grins*

Nervousness, although not nearly as much as when I first started on... don't know if that's a bad thing or not. When I make my approach, my hand's on my weapon with the snap already popped. Before I get to the window I tell 'em to roll it down before I'll approach. It seems to be working thus far...

What's the worst you felt after a citation and/or arrest?
See above, with the addition of almost every time I have to cite someone who's in the hospital after a wreck, because it was their fault. Feels like insult to injury, you know?

ALMOST every time... heh heh
 
I always get a little miffed when I hear about a car getting totaled, then the driver getting a ticket... the dude is getting punished enough already.

What was the fastest that you've clocked another car? was it a perp or another cop?

I'm not radar certified, but I've paced a Mustang (in the transport wagon) at 88 mpg (Gues he left his Flux Capacitor off?)

Riding with another officer who's certified, however, we clocked a motorcycle at 107. He promptly fled from us... straight back to the apartment registered to his tag. *facepalm*
 
Have you ever arrested/pulled over/etc anyone famous?
A local celebrity only... she's the lead singer of local rock band "Liquid Ginger." I was going to tow her truck for no insurance, but as it was the band's mode of transportation, I told her if she could get valid insurance on it before the tow truck got there, she'd just get the citation. She made it in time.

I LIVE for the day when I can give Paula Deen a ticket.
