And you do know that you are required to carry valid identification, right. So why are you complaining about him doing the job he is sworn to do? Don't blame him for your failure to renew your California ID card. It's strange that I have NEVER been hassled while fishing the local lakes.Originally Posted by Mr.Wolf
Your one of the few lucky ones on this forum my friend. everyone here has been hassled at least once.
If your too busy to go fishin; YOUR TOO BUSY!!!!!!
i myself was harrased by a newer rookie a few years back.before the park officers were all fired at the pudd. they were a majority of misfits,and rude guys. 1 excample is a local was leaving the lake ,the speed limit was 15mph ,which he was going. one of the officers was tail gating him to the point ,he thought he was going to get a push.so he speeded up.the officer red lighted him, and cited him for speeding.#2 is another officer in the east shore parking lot, seeing how fast he could go backwards .i mean fast.thats why they were all fired,and now regular sherrifs deputys are now running the show.
If you look like a dork or a geek, you get an immunity of sorts. Alot of cops were picked on alot in school. They often target people that resemble their tormentors from grade/highschool.
Haha..that is the dumbest comment I've ever heard!
Do you guys live in California? Do you know there is a budget problem and people are getting laid off everywhere? That includes cops. SO now where you had 15 cops handling calls for service you now have 5-6. So that makes it 10 times the work. The Deputies at the PUDD are on a contract so they are assigned to the lake only. If they are standing around not doing anything, nothing is going on at the Pudd. Don't get me wrong, I work with some douche bags as well....but that is just the nature of the beast.
Not me........I've only been fishing though for 25 years.
Regarding cops...you hate them until you really need them
Actually I live in a 5 bedroom 4 bath house though....thanks......single story too. Name calling too.....that's cute....haven't heard that before. Have a clue about the profession before you start slamming it.
I haven't read any of these posts. Don't need to. In the years I've spent here I've come to learn that they're the same opinions every time... so here's mine.
IMHO - If a guy is routinely crossing paths with law enforcement maybe that guy needs to take look at himself... maybe consider trying some different strategies for navigating the tricky land-scape of adulthood. I'm just sayin'. It's been my experience that Law officers, cops, the Po Po are like a fire extinguisher - it's ideal if you never have a reason to call on them but when you need one you REALLY need one.
If you have a problem with the performance of officers and deputies in your area, a visit to City Hall seems like it would be a more effective way of addressing the problem than picking the brains of fishermen (I mean, we're smart, but we have like, no political cred at all.) Or, you could go right to the source and apply to your local Police or Sheriffs academy.
Now, let the hate rain down...;)
