Cops SUCK!!!!

[SirWarrior]

So for the past few months I am working my ass off, 7 days a week, to get the SR and get the car running *bought it with blown motor* and so far I have most of the parts needed.
I did pull the motor and trans out and the hood was off, as I am playing around and unhooking all the little zipties and crap to get the harness out.
Than today I get home after working on 2 side jobs in adddition to my regular full time job, and what I find on the windshield??? A warning to get the car fixed in next 7 days or its getting towed!!!!! WTF?????
Its standing in my own driveway, as close to the garage door as possible. so its not getting in anybodys way. and they mess with me!!! BASTARDS!!!!!!!! :madfawk: :madfawk: :madfawk:
I hate them sooo much right now.

BTW can they even tow a vehicle thats on my own driveway???? isn't that stealing????? I mean WTF????

[SoCalS14]

Well, from what I know...working on vehicles in your driveway is illegal in some states/counties/cities...not sure which...And sometimes there are ordinances that state you cannot have a POS in your driveway because it "makes the neighborhood look dirty"...or some shit like that. ANyhow...just put it in back, or in the garage.

[HyperTek]

I can see unregistered cars parked on teh street as one thing.. but its in your driveway!?! thats crazy.. wonder how they found out.. i mean would a cop just drive down your street and say "oh look at that car, think im gonna write em up".... It could be some city officials that write stuff like this too.. just recently they started goin down my street, got a ticket for our old ranger that was parked on the street in front of the house and a few others on teh street... its really stupid.


Edit- maybe they go by the tags...

[element240]

wtf that's BS! cops have nothing better to do than bug civillians......wtf gayassfawkincops do something useful instead

[SlamMan]

Chances are good that one of your neighbors called you in. There is probably a city ordinance in your area that says you can't have a car torn apart in your front driveway for everyone to look at. Being a home owner though I agree with it. That crap makes the neighborhood look bad and hurts property values. Just move it into the garage or in back like SoCal said.

[Tricky1980]

well i was gonna ask how long it was in the driveway, but its been a few months. that still isnt THAT long, how bad does the car look, just no hood on it? how can they tell that its torn apart? just lay the hood back on it with no engine .. no big deal then. its just a parked car. i had my front end OFF teh car at my house for about 3 months, when i was in an accident and they tried to report me.. i asked them where they wanted me to put it in the garage with the 38 chevy and 41 ford or in the front of the driveway where it was.. they were like uh well umm.. fine! ha
just make it look decent or cover it with a car cover and make it look "classic" haha.. then they have no argument.

[misnomer]

Yeah, you likely had a complaint from the neighbors. Police have enough to deal with, won't bother ticking off how many days the car has been there. If it will be a while, put the hood on it and make sure it's clean around it (IE: looks like a useable car). Is there any fluids flowing down the driveway? That will piss people off to and as the other guys said-- can hurt property values.

Before saying how much you hate the police, remember that (in most cases) they enforce the law-- it's the citizens (or politicians) who make it. If you have questions, go to the courthouse and find out what can be done. Make certain you have the right attitude. If you go in there demanding it be changed you won't get anything. See if you can work with the ordinances.

[SoCalS14]

I like the car cover idea...

[nightwalker]

or if you own the property, put up a fence around it. THEN see how they get in there.

[elevator]

This isn't an issue with the cops probably. It is an issue with the Neighborhood Association. Some neighborhoods have rules about working on your car (major jobs) in the driveway. Some prohibit fences and such as well. It doesn't matter if you own the property if the association has specific rules.

[holisticbeatz]

Cops don't suck.. vacuum cleaners do.

[SirWarrior]

I bet if there was a hotrod w.o hood and motor they would come by and chat.
I put it in the garage right before I wrote this, but it still pisses me off.
I wonder if I can charge the cop with tresspassing.
Or shoot him when he shows up again ...................... :fawk2:
Today was the possibly the worst for that to happen as I was pissed at boss and the job already!!!!
Just got to wait few more weeks to get the sucka running and I be OK
till then
:rant2:

[SoCalS14]

I bet if there was a hotrod w.o hood and motor they would come by and chat... :rant2:

Wasn't I just making this argument in another thread??? Although I do not think it works as well here...

[uiuc240]

I have an S13 coupe car cover for sale. Super perfect condition. PM me.

Eric

[aznpoopy]

i would be pissed at the neighborhood association. find out who's in charge and ask 'nicely' for them to talk to you first before going to the cops next time. i'm sure if they had asked you to cover it or move it into the garage you would; and it could have saved you alot of trouble.

[old_s13]

I bet if there was a hotrod w.o hood and motor they would come by and chat.

again with these comments? why does everyone think domestics have it easy? its all the same shit.

[HyperTek]

now wondering.. does your house look sorta scrubish? theres like maybe 1 house on my street that has an unkept lawn (grass, weeds, dirt etc) that looks bad, I would think maybe you would get picked on for something like that. About that association thing, the house next to me, person passed away like a year ago so its just sitting there, but my neighbors have been keeping up the lawn and watering it on thier own.

[nismo2491]

Wasn't I just making this argument in another thread??? Although I do not think it works as well here...
yeah I was thinking the same thing bud :p

I know the cops in this city, they don't like imports. But the guy down the street that has 3 cars sitting on the street in addition to 4trucks in the driveway isn't getting in trouble.

Hypertek
My house looks OK. We cut the lawn when needed, pick up the leaves etc. the one next to us is a pile o shit that never racked his leaves in 3yrs but they can;t do anything about that because thats "natural waste" or some shit like that, so they cant even make him clean it up !!!! Grrrrrr.

BTW Eric, what happened to the coupe??? sold???????
WTF??? it was looking good.

[Pudula]

How do they know its not working...Its your business to have a car that you don't use, no matter what the reason is.

[AllenRPS13]

I hate cops too...

[elevator]

It's NOT the cops. It's your neighbors! The cops are just doing their jobs. The neighborhood association is who is screwing you. THEY set the rules for the community.

[mrmephistopheles]

(this is silviagirl)


You need to talk with your neigborhood organization. Do you pay association fees? Read the rules for the community that you live in. There are some communities that say you can't have a car parked in a driveway overnight because it is an eyesore....some flat out will not allow you to work on your car in your driveway because it causes the driveway to look like ass.....


Check with your community manager and find out, If a cop left you a ticket, chances are there is a good reason for it....MOST typically won't go onto someones driveway to write a ticket.

Best bet, make the car look driveable, move it often to different sides of the driveway and wash it.

*as for the hotrods, if it looks like a pile of ass and an eyesore YES they will harass them too. MOst nice looking hotrods are well kept and are babied in a garage, so, I find that argument total crap and call BS on it.

[MakotoS13]

I hate cops too...

okay, if you're going to post whore to the max try to make at least one post per day worth the time it takes to read it.

You expect smartass_S13 , the pimp'n respect boy :jerkit:, to actually acknowledge what YOU think you know...hahaha...don't waste your time...

[*NismoS13*]

Everybody hates cops until they need one, give me a break. :jerkit:

Certain neighborhoods have ordinances against having cars like that displayed in the driveway. It's strictly for appearance purposes.

Don't hate the cops - hate your neighborhood's laws/rules...

-Adam

[Andrew Bohan]

what legal basis do neighborhood associations have? it's not like they can kick you out if you don't comply with their rules is it? and why do cops have to enfore their rules?

[SoCalS14]

I am not against cops, it is there job to enforce the laws, however...HOW they do it cann be questionable at times...but thats another thread...

Neighbor hood associations are something you agree too when you move in, right? You should be aware of their policies, if you don't like them, don't move there...

However, sometimes there are just city ordinances that are reportable by your neighbors...enoforced by Joe-bag'o-donuts-cop.

[nismo2491]

yeah neighborhood organizations can kick you out. its something when you are in settlement when you buy the hosue that you sign on the contract is that you agree with all that shit blah blah blah you get the damn idea.

i dont think they can, i got a letter in the mail about my car saying i had to move it by august first or it was getting towed, well, to say the least the piping still hasnt come in and the car is still sitting halfway down the driveway unmoved sence mid july lol. i dont think they can tow it i think they jsut use that as a scare tactic. but if u are conserned about it call them up and let them know that u are in the prosess of putting it back together and that due to the amount of money involved u need more time. just let them know that its not jsut sitting there collecting dust i guess

btw: i am in wisconsin so the rules may be differant

[MakotoS13]

i think if you guys moved to texas you'd freak out at how much stuff you are still free to do... ya know... cause we aren't run over by bleeding heart liberals that want to take away our freedom with "safety" and "environmental" standards.

[SirWarrior]

There is no house association of any kind here.
The cops did come by the house 2 days before because my bro did some "spirited shifting" at 5am and somebody called the cops on him. When they stopped by they ran all the vins of the cars in the driveway. Which I found out the next morning.
The hood was off, so thats how they knew there is no motor inside. :(

BTW, *NismoS13*, when you need a cop, they are always not there, but at the local Krispy Kreme. And yeah, I hate them all. no exceptions! Only good pig is bacon!

Wow, I'm glad that my neighbors haven't said anything about my car. Or anything when we're working on cars... I didn't even know that neighbors could complain about stuff like this...

[90sr]

yeah dude we did my brothers ka-t from february till late april early may and then starting ripping my car apart for an sr swap, thats 2 cars ripped apart sitting in wide open driveway/side lawn, and never got any crap from anybody, i mean they sat some of the time cuz thers only so much you can do with waiting for parts and money n wat not, i didnt no there were laws like that too be honest, i thought you own a home you have a right to do wat you want regardless of wat neighbors say, thats retarded, i mean unless your really on the edge with your neighbors thats just messed up.

you're a jackass. i hope you're joking, seriously. my grandpa is retired HPD and uncle is like 20 years in. you've no idea the kind of crap they put up with to protect your ungrateful ass. shut your mouth, kid, or do your best kurt cobain impression with a shotgun it.

[SoCalS14]

...seriously. my grandpa is retired HPD and uncle is like 20 years in. you've no idea the kind of crap they put up with to protect your ungrateful ass....

And the truth comes out...I should have figured...Your practically a cop yourself! :keke:

[I am not a cop hater]

[MakotoS13]

i was going to be but the pay sucks. it's an honorable profession, nobody has to do it but you guys should think about how it would be if no one did.

Traffic cop = speed bump with an additude.
Sorry bro if you are getting offended. but thats how I feel, too many run ins with cops to tell me otherwise.
BTW just cuz you are a cop doesnt make you a bad person. But I dont have to like you either.

additude? is that the rate at which i can add numeric combinations within a given time span? guess i can't blame you for getting that wrong since your reading comprehension level is clearly equal to that of a sixth grader's.

i am not a cop nor will i ever be. the money just isn't good enough for the crap they have to take from retards like you. my feelings ain't about to get hurt because you're too stupid to comprehend the fact that peopel risk their lives every day to help you have the right to be wrong. you choose this ignorance because it helps you think you aren't a jackass.

i don't want you to like me. when morons like you begin to favor me that'd be a sign that i wasn't doing my job.

[SoCalS14]

Right on, I do think it is a honorable position, a civil service...All I advocate is that we step outside of our biases and try and be objective towards a police officers job and how he does it. Acknowledging one's one biases is a daunting task for some...even police officers...Afterall, if I had to deal with the people they deal with on a daily basis I would want to validate my own perceptions/actions as much as possible...ITS A NATURAL HUMAN TENDANCY...It has proven a diffficult task for all of us. This thread is ample evidence of such difficulties...Peace.

[SirWarrior]

Plz, I dont drive crazy, I dont pull stupid shit when on the road.
Hell the car was sitting there doing nothing at all. They come and mess with me???
Fuck that, they had nothing better to do, so EXCUSE ME for being pissed at them.
THEY SUCK! All of them!!!
This is just another example that they do. There are people speeding around, not stopping on any of the stops in my neighborhood with kids around. NO COPS, I haven't seen one around for years. I called and aks them to come out and make sure that the people arent blowing through stops and they didnt but GOD FORBID I have a car in MY driveway w.o hood on it or motor installed. That is obviously a bigger priority!!!! Maybe in a pig's way of thinking.

[mrmephistopheles]

How old are you SirWarrior? 14?
Stop being so immature. To be angry at someone for doing his job is a masterful show of ignorance. I'll grant you that poor treatment by a cop, or unneccessary harassment is cause for complaint, but don't blame all cops for the actions of one. If you have a problem with a cop, get his name & badge number (or Arjis number) and report him to his supervisor. That's the way to make shit get better, not by complaining on a webforum like a petulant child.

For my $.02 on the matter, I worked for 4 years in a law enforcement capacity. I worked hard, and tended to be more than fair with the people I encountered. Many of my colleagues let the authority they were given go to their heads, and because of their behavior, the image of Police was more tarnished in the public's eye. Not to say that these guys were harassing people, or treating people improperly. I'm a firm believer in a 'warning' system. Most of the guys I worked with were not. I called them Road Nazis and what they tended to do for the 12 hours a day we worked was write as many tickets for as many violations as they possibly could.
I tended to let more people go than I wrote up. Now, we were all doing our jobs, and all well within the parameters of the job, but many more people would have a negative reaction to me based on prior experiences with other Police.
Even so, I still did my job as well as I could, and so did my partners.
Go ahead and think all you want that most cops are out for you. It's not the case. They have much better things to do.

[MakotoS13]

They come and mess with me???
Fuck that, they had nothing better to do, so EXCUSE ME for being pissed at them.
THEY SUCK! All of them!!!


the laws of cause and effect dictate that you more than likely did something to evoke such a response. yeah, they MAY just be out to get you just like i MAY get sponsored by HRE and get a free set of rims...

it just ain't anywhere near likely, kid.

[SoCalS14]

I'm 27....I have been doing the performance car thing for about 10 years now...I don't know whats up with the hating of cops thing...I am not into that.

All I push is that we be objective...You said it yourself Mr. Meph...SOME COPS LET IT GO TO THEIR HEAD...Thus, ALL cops get a bad rap...That does not surprise me, becuase in my eyes, the same thing has happened to the import scene...few bad seeds, a couple of idiotic movies...and import guys are "devious"...funny really...I crack up at the morons with bold print "FUCK COPS"...Hell without cops I probably would not be able to own the car I do...It would get stolen without some sort of enforcement. To that, I say Thanks.

I am not trying to flame anyone, just approach the matter with a cool head and objective as possible set of eyes...Trust me, its tough.

Oh yea, I AM NOT ANGRY...and my posts have been very mature...NOt sure why you guys are sooo quick to judge...

[MakotoS13]

what's ironic about all this is that at the very least a few bad cops are reacting ot a few bad ricers.

thus, sirwarrior perpetuates his own "problem". he likes the hassle, just wont admit it.

[SirWarrior]

how do I perpetuate my problem????
I dont go driving around flicking them off, I dont like them.
They have demonstrated to me time and time again that they do the very least they can, and every situation I needed a cop, they weren't there.
Just this Jan. when my dad passed away, someone came in and stole his truck, which had the title in it.
We reported it the same day, but the theif decided to register the car, and said they have bought it from him day AFTER he died!!!! The cops didnt see anything wrong with that, as they had the title with forged sig.
Talked to numerous cops in the dept. all of them said, thats its not their dept's job, its some1 elses.
Apparently you can just steal a car in my neighborhood w.o getting in trouble, but if you park it in your own driveway, thats an issue.
Fuck cops. They suck.
Your experiences may differ from mine, so go ahead and have your own opinion, just dont tell me that they dont suck. They do.

[MakotoS13]

it's not that you're voicing your opinion at all. its that you're making sure i know mine IS an OPINION while stating yours like its gospel. i mean, i can't help it you're a fucking idiot, that was probably a genetic defect, but you can keep from stating your theories like they're proven fact.

guess what? if the cops track that guy down they have no cause to arrest him due to him having the actual title. why not sue him for fraud or take any number of other legal options? well of course you won't, you'd rather just be a pussy and blame your problems on people that are bound by LAW to begin with.

your story's got more holes than wisconsin has cheese.

[mrmephistopheles]

i can't help it you're a fucking idiot

:nono: Cut that shit right now. I won't allow any name-calling.
If we're going to have a serious discussion, nobody will be called names.

SirWarrior: The cops were right, it's not their dept. Go to DMV with your Dad's death certificate and show them wtf is up. It'll be their job to deal with the thief, and they'll be the ones to send the cops.

[elevator]

how do I perpetuate my problem????
By not being real smart. Fix your car and get it out of the public's sight. It MUST be an eyesore or the neighborhood would be fine with it.

[91CRXsiR]

you're a jackass. i hope you're joking, seriously. my grandpa is retired HPD and uncle is like 20 years in. you've no idea the kind of crap they put up with to protect your ungrateful ass. shut your mouth, kid, or do your best kurt cobain impression with a shotgun it.

cops.. well sheriffs start off good.. but dealing w/ the lowlives out there 24/7 makes them more harsh.. they treat everyone ( young asian males ) like pieces of shit.. .. i only met one nice cop .. and it was his 1st friggin day.. bet he's an ass now.

oh yea having to work in the county jail system before you hit the streets doesnt help either..

why don't you talk to a lawyer ( but if u hate cops.. ur REALLLLLY gonna hate lawyers ) and press charges on that guy..

i would do allot more than that.. but i'd be in jail shortly after

[elevator]

why don't you talk to a lawyer
...Because he has no case.

[SirWarrior]

Actually I did something better. put a mechanic's lean on the car.
So if he goes to sell it, I get the $$ that the car was bought for by my dad. And he can't sell if for any less, as the lean will have to be payed off before the title can be registered in some1 else's name.

PS.
Could you explain to me how in a mind of a cop is it OK for a death certificate to say one date as date of death, and the date of sale of the vehicle was AFTER that date and you think its OK????
They are lazy, don't care, and blow it off. So I think they SUCK!!
I am pretty sure my dad didnt come back from the dead to sign that piece of paper.

[nismo2491]

because its not the cops problem. if the vehicle shows in MVA as not yours you can't report it stolen!!!! go to MV fucking A and show them that shit, get them to change it, and old boy who stole it will have an arrest warrant for grand theft auto, fraud, grand forgery, and probably some other shit. god damn. get a fucking lawyer. don't go through life whining 24/7 about shit!!! stop whining and do something about it.
