alright.... some of the things the complainers here i agree with.
the cops in my town usually are real slow to get anywhere. i don't know why. i have a scanner in my car, and sometimes i go near where they are supposed to go (like "bat in house", i'm not gonna go to something serious), and i get there repeatedly quicker than they do. i deliver pizza, so i pretty much know the town like the back of my hand.
well, there are also cops that flick on their lights to go through red lights and then shut them off and drive, doing nothing. that is abuse of their power, i can't do that, why can they? (remember, they have no reason...)
also, i get pulled over for the stupidest crap. it's just becuase they know i'm a teen, so they wanna "teach me a lesson". for example, a certain cop here is hard on teens, he's personally pulled me over several times. last time i got pulled over was for having red leds as my licence plate fastner. (he said i can only have white near my plate), what a load of bs. they weren't even bright, plus they were on the back, which i recall from iowa code: rear lights can be red, white, or amber color.
now, i think the rest of the cops are doing an excellent job. there is one cop that saw us when he was riding his motorcycle and joked to the other guy loudly "heh, i'll bet they're in there smokin WEED!!!" just cause he's a cool guy and can relate to kids (i don't and would never smoke weed, btw) in fact, i wanna be a cop. there is just something about being a cop that i like. i actually have an app in front of me right now for florida highway patrol.
alright, also, i'm not a bad driver, but i'm impatient. i wanna get everywhere real quick, no matter where "it" is. i don't know why i am, but i am. and i'm not agressive, either, unless i encounter an obviously stupid driver, then i pass them as quick as i can to avoid them hitting me. also, my brother pointed out, i'm not afraid of cops, that's why i drive like i do. but i APPRECIATE what cops do.
now, in chicago, we were on I-88, and we had the speedo maxed on the 92 grand marquis we were driving (probly doin 90-95), and we were getting passed left and right by everything, cops, cars, junk crap, and even panel vans. can you guess the speed limit? 45! and we were getting passed by everyone doin 90!
oh, and my city also wanted to set up a skate park, but decided against it becuase the OLD people on the council didn't think they should cater to skaters. i have not met 1 (!) skater that was a bad person. they're not destructive as long as they can skate, gives them something worthwhile to do. i'd rather them be skating and grinding than getting into real trouble.
