| | | you know what's been really working here for curbing cops and their outright malicious behavior... writing letters to not only the newspaper, but the local tv station as well... Five-Oh hate negative publicity and when you get a couple of residents really fired up writing letters about the shit they are pulling, one of two things will happen. things change for the better or they come looking for your ass it's a good place to start... just tell your story. Here's one I wrote to the Press-Republican in Plattsburgh NY a fall or two ago: (baskstory- the state police sent a representative to a town board meeting to answer complaints that the state police were using the town as a ticket farm and they were tired of it...) Dear Press Republican, After reading your article on the over-policing of Moriah, I can only conclude one thing... Spin is a beautiful thing. This gentleman attended the meeting to put spin on an issue that has been simmering in this area for a few years now. Since I relocated from Tennessee in late 2000, I have noticed that not only have State Police become more exploitive, but also have become more brazen in their behavior. Their attitude of has also changed into something less than their job requires as well. I'm sorry, but maybe I missed the memo saying it was alright for state police to drive at least twenty miles per hour over the speed limit? Or follow citizens six inches from their rear bumpers? Was I the only one that missed this memo? After reading about the meeting the previous evening, I know that I’m most certainly not alone in my displeasure with our law enforcement. Excuse me, but the last time that I checked, the state police mission was 'to protect and serve'. At what point was that changed to 'to harass and intimidate'. A colleague of mine had once said that when you declare war on crime, the enemy becomes your own people and that is exactly how these state troopers see us- the enemy. In their eyes, it's US versus THEM. How is that right? And who are these troopers going after really? Is it really doing a public service to pull someone over for a dirty license plate? Or a dim plate light? Come on, let's be realistic here. Rather than do any real police work, like solve our increasing drug problem, they'd rather write traffic tickets. Law enforcement gives way to revenue enhancement. Do yourself a favor and check into how much New York state takes in on traffic tickets in a given year. This is excluding DWI's and the other 'heavy' offensives. It will amaze you! I am a resident of Moriah, and I can honestly say that I have never been so harassed by a law enforcement entity as I have been here. Getting stopped and then getting interrogated? Is this what America has come down to? I always answer their questions the same way, "I'm sorry, sir, but that is none of your business.' The American Civil Liberties Union has a very informative website on what to do during a traffic stop. I recommend visiting it. Also, I recommend www.speedtrap.org and www.roadblock.org for information as well. The troopers are worse than criminals when it comes to behavior behind the wheel! For example, the speed limit from Moriah Center to Mineville on Plank Road is forty miles per hour. 40. Not 45, not 55, not 65. Routinely, these troopers can be observed blasting up the road, through a residential area with little or no regard for public safety. How long does it take you to stop should a child on a bicycle pedal out in front of you? Regardless of all the propaganda shoved down your throat about a troopers' driving ability, a 4000 pound Crown Victoria or 6000 pound Chevy Tahoe is still bound by the law of physics. Another example is their tactic of getting right smack dab, six inches from the back of your car trying to get you to make a mistake. How safe is that? How legal is that? Lastly, even if a trooper was chasing a car down for a legitimate traffic infraction, does that give him the right to put other lives in jeopardy? The only thing that I can ask is that these troopers think about where the are, the people they are supposed to be serving and treating each of them and their homes with the same respect that they would want exhibited in their own hometowns. This is where we live, where we work, where we grow up and where we grow old. We are not your enemy. In many cases, we're your neighbors and we don’t deserve this misconduct.. Samurai Mineville, NY

| | | i once cracked my skull open and tried drive my self to the ER at Appleton Medical Center (about 1.5 miles from my house). this about 1:30am on a sunday morning, i ran a red light (might of had something to do with either the blood loss or the concussion) and a cop pulled me over now i admit it was (very) stupid to try to drive my self to the ER but i wasnt thinking most likely because of the concussion, so the cops pulls me over, its 1:30 am on a Sunday in February, im hold a towel that was white at one time to the side of my head, he does the basic "do you know why i pulled you over" shit and i really didnt, he told me and i said i was tiring to get to the ER i was dress in pjs no shoes and no coat... it was -4 outside, i didnt have my wallet and i had trouble staying awake, i told him i needed to get to the ER, he took my info and went back to his car he had me wait for 12 min then he wrote me a ticket and told me good luck with the head so i finished driving to the ER and checked it, the next day i call the police dept. and they said that the officer acted correctly, then i call the DA about it and she said she would look into it, they never did anything about it and for some reason when i tried the sue the city over it they wouldnt let it into court. i ended up having to pay the ticket
most of the cops in this city are nice and fair, the rest are corrupt and compleat assholes
