First welcome to the board, a little quote from your quote I asked the officer who came to take our report, why these cars and people who are out at these hours, are not stopped and checked, and his reply was that other laws prohibit them from doing so? HUH? So there are laws that stop them from checking these people out, but laws that are suppose to protect us from these crimminals that can't be enforced for whatever reason? Makes sense to me!
I have been told by a couple of dcpd officers and sheriff officers that they have to do paper work on all car stops and personal contact with people, why they stopped them, etc etc, it seems we (dodge city) got caught profiling.. Hmmm. seems to me somebody had him or her a another slick lawyer. Maybe the PD needs to have a class on creative minds, like the reason I stopped you the music was too loud, or it looked to me like your one tail light is out, you know use so mind power here Officers, Now I got stopped early hours one sunday morning going home after taking my wife to work at the hospital on south second, by a very nice Sheriff Officer, who gave me a warning about my front left head lite, which was out when he seen me on 2nd and trail, when he stopped me I told him I had been having trouble with that light, short or something, I got out and slapped the headlight and it came on, LOL,, he told me about the profileing paperwork, he was very nice about it, Oh by the way it was my wife's car and her windows are tinted a little dark, I too would have stopped the car if I was him, 5am in the morning left headlight out, good stop, now you get to see inside the car, and you have a tag and driver's info. Good work Officer. Now for what it is worth, how about some of us that to do to work in the early hours or coming home from work and see something maybe that should be reported, like four or five people walking the streets, or God forbid someone painting on a wall?? why not call it in, then we have done our duty. up the Dispatch and PD/Sheriff to take over. Oh and if we have time maybe stay a safe distance and see if someone does show up. Huh..
