It was a sunny day and I was driving on the highway at 60 miles per hour, well below the speed limit of 65. Suddenly, I saw flashing lights in my rearview mirror and heard a siren. A police officer pulled me over and handed me a speeding ticket. He claimed that I was going 80 miles per hour, which was impossible. I protested, but he wouldn't listen. He said that his radar gun was accurate and that I had to pay the fine.
I was furious and decided to challenge the ticket in court. I hired a lawyer and requested the maintenance records of the radar gun. To my surprise, the records showed that the radar gun had not been calibrated for over a year, and that it had a history of malfunctioning. The judge dismissed the ticket and scolded the officer for his negligence.
How do you think the officer should have handled the situation? 1. Apologize 2. I am the police, I am the boss.
I have a problem with authority figures these days. And flags! 😆
No. They are not "police" or "the boss".
They are humans beings. And being told they are something else and have the power to not discuss or compromise is exactly why we "citizens" are so afraid right now.
And are, often, in such a mess.
I think an accountable police officer would only establish mote trust between the authorities and we citizens.
Right now some of those police are dangerous. Like that one there who refused to be anything but "right".
Fascism anyone? 🤑
Also. Good for you. 🦾 A hassle and an expense, but if nobody bothers to say no to that kind of narcy behaviour, it only grows more common and becomes more accepted. Double 🤑🤑
Have a great day! 🪷💯
