My question is this. What if it didn't originate in the Troopers? What if they just happened to choose a terrible doctor, and then acted to cover up that error?
That's an interesting thought that hadn't crossed my mind... It's not uncommon for police officers to and doctors to develop a working relationship in smaller communities. A lot of times the work they do involves the helping hand of the other, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that something like that *could* happen.
I'm no longer the very young, optimistic, innocent woman who believes cops are good people, nor that bad cops are the minority, nor that when the worst ones interact illegally with me I'll get any kind of justice. The next time a cop sexually assaults me that pig is getting roasted. I don't care if their fucked up force gets revenge on me later. A perv pig is a dead pig. Trust. Never again.I would be in jail so fast if they would try that crap on me. I know my self defense classes would kick in, and I would be cuffed immediately.
"I'm sorry, your honor, but when a stranger touches those parts I've been trained to resist. I'm also sorry about the officer's wrist."
I've had a Texas trooper stop me in Wharton, Texas. It's a known speed trap so I know not to speed there, and when I see the Wharton sign I immediately slow down even if I'm doing the limit. And I did exactly that one Sunday afternoon when I saw the sign, and I was immediately passed by someone who didn't know better. Then I saw the trooper in the oncoming lane, his lights blew up; he u-turned and came running up behind me. I chuckled thinking how that speeding bozo was about to get a rude awakening, but I was flabbergasted when he pulled me over!
He said "Do you know how fast you were going?" I said "Yes, do you?"
He said I was doing 70 in a 55. I said I was doing no such thing, but the car passing me was going much faster. That's when he knew I had him. He didn't ID my car. He caught the convenient one.
He gave me a warning ticket. I read it and for violation it said "in excess of the speed limit."
I asked him if this was a violation. He said no, it was a warning. So I asked "It really doesn't mean anything then?"
He said it was a warning meant to remind me of the law. While he was standing at the window I took the warning, crumbled it up and stuffed it in the ashtray the whole while looking him in the eye, or in the sunglasses.
He walked back to his cruiser. I peeled out hoping to spray gravel on his car. I didn't calm down until I got to Dallas.
I have no patience for the power mad, and I'm sometimes scared that I will get in a lot of trouble for that one day. And the way things are going that day might be soon.
I would be in jail so fast if they would try that crap on me. I know my self defense classes would kick in, and I would be cuffed immediately.
* story about being a total dick to a cop and getting away with it *
The main thing I take away from this post is...
Being a pretty blonde white lady with nice boobs has some serious privliges.
I'm not going to lie. I have played the hair and figure cards a few times. But they aren't always effective, and my car insurance proves it.
Oh, I know if I tried to defend myself against unreasonable search and seizure that worst case scenario is that I could be shot, but the odds are with me just being Caucasian. Wouldn't you agree?
I agree the Caucasian is a factor, but the fact you are a genetically-gifted female is the decider.
I don't think even white males have a default assumption that they can physically respond to police without at least a beating unless they're famous and/or wealthy.
I can't even begin to think what may have gone through some of those women's heads... I just don't get how they could agree to that.
I wanted to be a cop for awhile in my younger years. This would have been an Immediate red-flag that lead to a Fuck No for me.
