abuse your power as much as humanly possible

>I cannot stress having a thick skin enough
>find a dep. that you enjoy, some guys love patrol, other investigations, other like bureaucracy. if you start to hate what you do GTFO and do something else
>try talking with people first like a stern but loving father figure. thats the best way I can put it. dont be a hard ass until you have to be but dont be a push over either
>know your laws, specifically for stopping a person and motor vehicle. Keep a cop of a little constitution with those portions highlighted in case somebody fights you on it. again try to keep cool. if theyre filming it then thats more of a reason to be calm and collected
>nothing is funnier then going to court when you did the right thing and are polite about it while some punk teenager is screaming at you in his own video
>most of the time nobody in the general is going to know or care if you do something nice, so only do it for the person youre interacting with, not for everyone to see. it feels better that way anyway
>be friendly with the homeless (the legit homeless, not the fakers looking for easy money) they can be the ears and eyes of the street and builds community relations
>as lame as it is, take some community college courses. Public speaking, acting (so you know how to talk in front of crowds) writing so you can fill a report properly) and sociology (it looks good on paper for any #BLM )
>the job is about personal victories, youre not going to solve every case and not every incident will end nicely, learn to let things go and learn from it. the times where things do work out will be great

Full of jocks and massive faggots with delusions of power and grandeur.
Many ex-military that want to earn more doing less.
Police sucks big fucking time both for civilians and for policemen alike.
On 1st world non-shitholes they're pretty unnecessary most of the time, and they tend to be massive "sheepdog" faggots. Also when they do something the oppinion will always be against them.
If you want to go police I suggest you do like that anon who is a brazilian MP.
Join a militaristic police that is actually severe and actually works actually doing shit and getting shit done.

get a go pro and try to hide it in your body so when shit like that happens you can catch it from your point of view
dont let people know you have a camera though, let them try to start shit and have it on camera
Before you can be a cop they should teach you ALL the laws. All of them.
Same with citizens. If they don't teach you the law in school you shouldn't be expected to obey it.
Over time I've learned that literally everything is illegal. I live in a state where it's illegal to keep an alligator in a bathtub. It's one of those laws nobody enforces because how the fuck would it happen and how do you catch them? Guess what I saw in a pet store one day. A little gator in a washtub. The guy probably didn't know he was breaking the law.
Don't enforce narcotics laws. There is clearly an issue there. Legal prescription narcotics kill more people than illegal plants ever thought about, and prohibition has only served to kill people.
Be aware that every law the government wants you to uphold, they also break. They most certainly do illegal shit all the time.
OP, you seriously don't see anything wrong with sending people to the rape cages that are prisons? You know damn well they are.
And you want advice about how to be a "good cop" even though you know you will be part of a system of legalized slavery and rape?
Don't you see any kind of conflict in your logic?
>>30176362
I think having an issue sidearm would be for easing protocol and legal reasons.
>>30176404
Op never asked about being a good cop.
>>30176362
A lot of departments have a roster you can pick from and some let you carry your own piece as a backup gun ya just need to qualify with it.
>>30176404
>Don't enforce narcotics laws.
not entirely true. Only enforce them when the user is acting in a way that endangers others. he wants to shoot up and OD in his moms basement then let him. He wants to shoot up while driving and veer off the road killing somebody who has their life together? then we have a problem. As somebody who thinks the war on drugs is a waste of time (and even though nobody will believe me when I say most cops agree and dont waste their time with it) sometimes you just have to be a dick like that.
Ive already gone to somebody house once this month telling them mommy isnt coming home because mommy got her fucking face taken off in an accident because some dipshit OD'd while behind the wheel
>>30176336
He said police, not the fucking FBI. Most local PD's don't do a polygraph. Believe it or not, there are more important things to focus on than your loli binges.
>>30176380
Obviously.
The rule of thumb is that if a poster uses the reddit pepe meme, makes sweeping statements about shit they don't know about, or demonstrates a total lack of understanding when it comes to living and letting live, they're a teenager.
Don't talk to the teenagers. You don't talk to them IRL, and just because they came into your favorite board screeching for attention doesn't mean you have to reply. If you don't give him attention, he'll fuck off.
>>30176404
>Before you can be a cop they should teach you ALL the laws. All of them.
Literally impossible.
>Same with citizens. If they don't teach you the law in school you shouldn't be expected to obey it.
So high school dropouts don't have to obey the law. Great.
>Over time I've learned that literally everything is illegal. I live in a state where it's illegal to keep an alligator in a bathtub.

This isn't something that actually becomes a policing issue.
>Don't enforce narcotics laws. There is clearly an issue there. Legal prescription narcotics kill more people than illegal plants ever thought about, and prohibition has only served to kill people.
If he's not going to do that, then he has no logical reason to enforce any laws relating to choice.
Police are not moral agents, they enforce the laws that your representatives created.
>Be aware that every law the government wants you to uphold, they also break. They most certainly do illegal shit all the time.
The government can have legal justification to do things that are illegal for civilians.
>OP, you seriously don't see anything wrong with sending people to the rape cages that are prisons? You know damn well they are.
That's a massive overstatement. But in any case, just because the prison system is overcrowded and in need of reform, that isn't a reason to not incarcerate people who need to be incapacitated from society.
>And you want advice about how to be a "good cop" even though you know you will be part of a system of legalized slavery and rape?
punishment =! slavery, and the rape is not legal.
>Don't you see any kind of conflict in your logic?

>But they'll hire a 22 year old with a worthless college degree over a 38+ year old military veteran with 20 years of experience in the field, extensive weapons training, and a masters degree in criminal science?
Correct.
Lots of states actually have laws requiring new officers to be under a certain age.
In my state it's 35.
No one wants to hire a 40 year old due to pension reasons from what I understand.
There's probably other factors too.
>>30177015
That's not true
>>30177219
This. they want someone they are going to get their money out rather than someone who is going to retire shortly anyway.

Thanks.

Go be a firefighter. More time off, less stress, better public opinion, better quality of bitches that want to fuck you just for being a hose dragger, get to work out while getting paid, get to drive/ride that sweet ass truck.
Ive been a cop for ten years. If i could do it again Id go fire instead.
>>30177242
It is considerably harder to become a FF compared to LE
>>30177242
>better public opinion
youd be surprised actually. generally they are liked more than cops but ive seen quite a few firefighters and EMTs as well get harassed when they go to more urban places responding to calls
Im a cop and I understand the public generally not liking us but bunker pants are in my experience bro teir
>>30177254
Because its worth it.

yeah I know its mostly worthless but they didnt have any forensic, computer or other worthwhile LEO courses at my school.

>>wanting to be a pig irl

The only reason the police force doesn't share your values is because people like you refuse to join.
If you don't like cop culture, become a cop and do your part to change it.
>>30176373
don't forget the thousands from kickstarter. sounds like a pretty good time to me
>>30177289
CJ isnt totally worthless. It isnt much but its still a degree. Once you get in to a department it will probably pay off but it wont make much headway to actually get in.
people say its worthless because of that, and you better be damn sure you want to be a cop because if not then you have nothing else to do with it
>>30176450
i choose my jagdkommando. it's one evil knife

I want something I can fall back on if LEO doesnt fall through. I dont want to be a psychologist and I dont see how thats better then 90% of other generic degrees

Scratch that, my sister actually called the police once when her house was broken into.
They arrived 2 hours after she called, and a cop took a huge dump in her toilet after "clearing" the house and left it clogged. They took a report, but then refused to do anything when she saw her laptop being sold on craigslist.
What could we possibly do without our hereos in blue.
>>30177454

>>30177469
>actually want to change anything?
If you think the best way to change law enforcement is from the inside you're sadly mistaken, it's a nice concept but it's never worked. The only way to deal with these assholes is make them accountable for there actions through legislation. Make them wear body cameras, make them stop meaningless traffic stops, fuck even a self defense against law enforcement law would be ground breaking, any piece of legislation saying "you're equal to the highschool drop outs with badges" would do massive good.
But no, we have a protected hypocrite class that's here to stay and take our money and our rights piece by piece.
>>30177500
You are a lost cause.
>>30177507
Body cameras are already becoming the norm. Please define a "meaningless" traffic stop also do tell what you mean by self defense against law enforcement and how you can prevent literally everyone from fighting the police saying they are acting in self defense.

>>30176237
>t. a criminal
>>30177543
Becoming the norm =\= nationwide adoption.
Meaningless traffic stop is any traffic stop that does not result in some sort of greater meaningful conviction, therefore serving as nothing but a revenue gathering too and general time waster. This would mean the vast majority of tickets and stops.
Self defense against law enforcement is self explanatory, just like self defense against any other normal human being in a non-castle state. You have to be scared for your life while being innocent of any crime. I.E 4am no knock raid on the wrong house.
Anyone may be able to say "I punched piggy because self defense" but they won't actually be protected by the law, so they're still getting charged with assaulting an officer and if joe the crack head can even land a punch on Barney fife he's a pretty shitty cop not understanding physical boundaries.

Give me a specific example of a meaningless stop.
People have got off free just like >>30177565 said.
>>30177509
That was a joke.
Obviously not all police are corrupt, but an exceptionally large majority will have no problem standing up for those that are.
Those that stand up for corrupt cops do so not necessarily because they are corrupt themselves, but because police in general are so uneducated about the law that they just believe whatever they are told.
Cops literally will believe shooting an unarmed crying and crawling man in the face is a-okay since they spend 90% of their training focusing on shooting and subduing criminals and almost no time in understanding statues and acceptable use of force.
>>30177622
Again people like yourself like to use the one case that gets on the news then judge everyone off it.
What experience are do you have to say 90% of training is shooting and subduing? Because I can tell you that's wrong. Case law and use of force are used everyday and training never stops.
>>30176358
Any other day I might've posted some shit about how obnoxious it is to film cops doing their jobs, but our city is putting Automatic License Plate Readers up all over the place along with the fact that anywhere you go in public you're likely to be on camera. And there is NO QUESTION that they will be more than happy to try to use that footage, even if it's used unfairly or taken out of context. So even though i've done nothing wrong, it adds a certain feeling of unearned guilt and paranoia.
>You got nothing to worry about if you're not breaking the law.
That now goes two ways, so enjoy these assholes recording you on their phones, body cams, and just generally laying in the bed you made, copfags.

80 in a 65 isnt speeding, when the speed limit was made in 1954 it makes sense that we should rise the limits to account for modern vehicles. That's besides the point, I should not be ticketed for doing 80 when the person giving me the ticket regularly drives 100 on the same road

> The one case that gets on the news
It's only on the news because they finally fucked with someone rich, well connected, or just stupid enough to fight back against the legal leviathan even backwater PDs have access too thanks to the corrupt and incestuous justice system.
In my experience, almost anyone who has interacted with a cop has been harassed or dealt with plain old false charges that they can do absolutely nothing about.
My boss' dog was put down a while ago because his neighbor who was an cop lied and said he was attacked. The judge didn't even want to hear or see the video tape of the dog doing absolutely nothing at the time in question. It was an instant ruling for marking the dog as dangerous, and resulted in the execution of a family member all because he barked at a cop while behind a giant gated fence.
>>30177717
>acts like raids on the wrong house aren't common
>>30177723
It has happened... Wrong house raids have happened in every state in the US. How can you expect someone to defend themselves when they have literally no legal ground to do so?

It is though, and we already have a way to change laws in this country. Speed limits have gone up here and there. Sign a petition and vote if you don't like it.
>I should not be ticketed for doing 80 when the person giving me the ticket regularly drives 100 on the same road.
Agreed, unless said person is using his lights and sirens to at least warn others that he's driving like an asshat for a reason, and probably costing taxpayers big repair bills if he drives like that constantly.
>You really think i need a fucking cop to tell me my taillights out?
Maybe, maybe not. There are plenty of people (ok, dindus) near me who are driving cars that are so fucked up they shouldn't be on the road. Laws about taillights are for safety (headlights are a better example - ever had a car come up behind you with one headlight and you can't tell what lane they're in?), and they're also to keep people from letting basic maintenance shit go until their cars are unfit to drive.

Well I'm trying to get in a PD or sheriff but before then losing weight and getting more fit. As a CO I heard same applies to general public; be fair and consistent, be neutral until they give you reason other wise , don't be a dick unless they give you reason for it , and always be the voice of reason by staying very calm and control the situation.
Just be a fucking person and don't be a dick by thinking yourself higher than they are because of a uniform. Main difference is usually you never got caught but they did.

Glad you agree, too bad it doesn't mean shit because cops will do whatever the fuck they want.

Do you really want me to find you a citation? My own state even admits this, that's why we have 5 checkpoints state wide but double the roving patrols... Drunks just avoid the checkpoints.
Just to clarify I live in CT, the road I'm talking about is RT8. It's a 4-6 lane divided state highway, doing 80 on it is not speeding. My state has kept the 65 and in some places (that are 3 lanes each direction) even a 55 limit because they know it creates money.
Great to see that we agree, and I'm not talking about lights on in an emergency I'm just talking about crusing down the highway. Personally I don't care if they're doing 150mph with the lights on, they might actually NEED to be somewhere. But I don't like going to drop off my CCW paperwork at the state police baricks and seeing 5 wrecked state trooper cars I paid for.
Agreed on the dindus and the purpose of tail light laws, I personally just don't like the execution. I'm white so I change my lights & fluids regularly. I'm so white I even keep spares in my truck.
the only counter I have to that is the pressure of law enforcement on major roads forces these niggers to the back roads to try and stay hidden, which helps no one.
I think we agree more than we disagree, I'm all for LEOs stopping bad guys but I just don't like the heavy hand of law enforcement we see today, the vast majority of us aren't bad people yet it feels like we're all treated that way or legislated to become bad people.

It is, if the posted limit is 65. Its pretty simple, and can be changed if the majority of the people agree with the change. (See, texas).
Just because YOU dont think your speeding, does not mean your not. Its cute, but you are driving on public roads, where you follow the rules of the public concensus or pay the tax for not.

That's exactly why I hate cops, "pay the tax for not" I already payed the taxes to use the roads, paid the taxes to pay for everything in on and around that department and paid the taxes to put the signs up with the limit that absolutely no one that's not a heroin addict follows.
This isn't even considering the NHTSA stats that prove speed has little impact on accident rates http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/26/2627.asp
Still doesn't matter, I've been pulled over for doing 65 in a 65 because "I was acting conscious" in my moms Jetta...

>>defending a speed trap as some great protector of the people
No, it protects people from dumbasses like you who thinks he can go 80 in a 55. Then when you kill somebody, im sure it will be "their fault" for going the speed limit.
>I already payed the taxes to use the roads, paid the taxes to pay for everything in on and around that department and paid the taxes to put the signs up with the limit
Absolutely, you paid taxes to lawfully use the roads. Not to abuse it.
>This isn't even considering the NHTSA stats that prove speed has little impact on accident rates
Correlation is not causation. If you actually read the report, (instead of "newspaper.com") they found that speed was not an issue because people generally follow the speed limit.
>that absolutely no one that's not a heroin addict follows.
Conformation bias. Proof: if everyone significantly sped, then police would not have to resort to lowering speeds to get their quotas.

pretty good they have more benefits then other cops IMO. Just make sure you have your vehicle laws down pat because thats mostly what youre dealing with. and dont have a weak stomach for car accidnets

>>30178366
>partition
>CT
See you're not getting the actuality of the issue, stop thinking like a brain dead ward of the state and realize that nothing gets done in this state if it even resembles lost revenue.
Lawful use of the roads dosent constitute those roads being used as a revenue source, that's why we don't have tolls.
>expecting the government to actually say "yes have more freedom, we were wrong"
You're cute, we've seen a drop in the number of accidents over recent years.
>the majority of people follow the speed limit to the T
That's not true at all. If it was we wouldn't see speed traps.
>police wouldn't have to resort to lowering speeds
They don't lower the speed, they keep it the same speed they've had it since 1950.
>quotas
That's another short falling of law enforcement, our lives and freedom should not be rounded into "quotas".
Law enforcement should choose to either be protectors of the people or modern day highwaymen stealing from the people.
It's ludicrous to think that there's quotas for speeding tickets but not quotas for abusive cops being fired or even convicted of crimes they've committed.
>>30177951
Regarding checkpoints, I hear you about drunks avoiding them, but i know some are too lazy, uninformed, or (lol) drunk to avoid them and actually do get caught. I know I've had a couple nights driving home where i was lucky i didn't meet Johnny Law, and i also know i've gone through a checkpoint after having literally one or two beers with dinner and not been fucked with. I live in MO and they often publish the results of checkpoint operations here, and they usually take a fair # of DWIs, which I'm fine with. Also on the list sometimes are the numerous other petty infractions they hand out at checkpoints (like taillight out tickets), and that is kind of irksome.
In MO, we had a recent law passed that limited any jurisdiction to 15% (i think) of revenue from traffic tickets, because we had these dipshit little towns along i70 just setting up shop and raking in what amounted to sometimes 10k in fines PER DAY. Basically funding their shitty little town by predatory speed trapping. I was pulled over in one and the cop literally lied and said i was going 71 in a 60 (actually 63ish). He almost took me to jail because i basically called him a liar. But then he let me go with a warning, so who was lying?
If there's one thing it seems like we can agree on, it's that the few tend to fuck things up for the many, both Civs and LEOs. For every 10 cops, there's maybe 8 who are based and don't fuck with you over petty shit, and there'll be those 2 who just have to swing their dick around. You'd think they'd get better at NOT giving these people jobs. And for every few citizens who aren't hurting anyone, there's BLM.

Tree cops are pretty bro-tier in my experience. It's a pretty boring job but they have a wide degree of flexability in how they enforce laws so most choose to take the easy way out if you're respectable and admit you made an honest mistake. Youll find most of a tree cops job is watching for people fishing in resivours and issuing warnings for fishing without a license. They have the power to take all your gear and imprison you but I've only heard of that happening for repeate poachers.
