It would mean the rich and the privilege would have to resort of going threw courts rather than paying themselves out of trouble

[@dallen3000]

I want to fully agree with you, but i still hope that one of these days ill rightfully be accused of a crime but get off because of the cop not showing up. I hear a story of one guy getting a ticket. He looked up his officer on social media, found out the day his wife was due to give birth, and changed his court date to it. Cop didn't show and he got off scott free 😂 So maybe have that as a requested opption and not a default penalty for a no show cop.

This was a single ticket. In Cook County even the alleged violator isn't required to attend. They can mail in the fine. If the cop did attend, this ticket would not have been dismissed, and he would have lost so it is often actually an overwhelming advantage to the person who feels they were wrongly ticketed for the cop to not show up to traffic court when a ticket is disputed.

You're suggesting that the officer didn't show up because he/she has something to hide?

Therefore, if you have the time and it's not too inconvenient you should always contest a minor infraction - there's a good likelihood the officer will not show up.

Just another 'tool' police use... subtle intimidation. I was pulled over one time, and three cops tried something similar. I was driving home one night and was pulled over for some supposed violation (making an illegal turn). It was around midnight and I had just left an anonymous meeting. One cop turned into three within a few minutes. After being asked to exit the vehicle in order to perform a roadside sobriety test (which I PASSED) officers started questioning me. At first it was the normal... driver's license, insurance card, registration... blah blah blah... which I handed over. At one point they asked to search my car... which I refused to give consent to. They then started questioning why I was out at midnight, where I was going... ALL the while slowly entering my 'personal space'. When they didn't wait for any answers and just keep asking over and over... I knew what they were doing and allowed it... in fact I encouraged it. After all I know my rights (to a point), and I knew these cops were trying to 'fluster me' into giving into their 'request' to search my car.... with the intention of find something illegal to use against me (drugs, booze, weapons... etc.). Well... me being a young gay man... I HAD to let them know I was enjoying being SO close to so many beautiful well built officers (I sort of lied). I even mentioned (I sort of lied again... kind of) that I had a little fetish... that I dream of an encounter like this.. big strapping men in uniform... with handcuffs AND the feel (I made the motion to touch one of their leather jackets but stopped)... and smell of leather... ohhhhh. I purposefully relaxed my posture, and thought about all the 'body language' cues I had learned over the years... especially those cues that said I was flirting. I NEVER propositioned any of them... but I did make it clear that I was enjoying their close proximity... and FAR from making me uncomfortable... it was getting me hot. Well...LOL... at this point I saw the realization pass over one of the officer's face... it was PRICELESS. A quick conversation ensued between the three of them...and VERY quickly these three officers were trying to INCREASE the distance between us... one actually extended his arm in the classic 'stop' motion when I tried to step up closer. A minute later i was told I was free to go... with no ticket... and no apology... just a clipped 'Drive safe'... and it was over. I will NEVER forget the look of realization that swept across the cop's face when it happened. It was a two-fold look... first was the realization that i was gay, and enjoying the encounter... and then the second look... was the look of defeat when he realized I had won the 'intimidation game'. PS- He was the officer who said... Drive safe.

It's their job to protect, serve and treat members of the public with respect even when being disrespected. It's in the frigging job description. Behavior like this only leads tk worse behavior and eventually culminating in shooting and killing an unarmed man in the back Or kicking down the wrong door in a no knock raid, and just opening fire on the innocent occupants.

IT boils down to removing QUALIFIED IMMUNITY if any meaningful change in the cop thugs behaviour can change. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺.

[@w_6880]

Qualified immunity does not protect an officer in this instance.

[@EarnestEgregore]

100% it would go a long way towards keeping them honest… the largest problem we have here is all of the government representatives (police or otherwise) are not held to the same law as they pass for others… for instance state reps have completely different healthcare than everyone else and are not effected by most of the bills or laws they work on.

[@redmatters9318]

@@EarnestEgregore Agree with you. However if one expects a level playing field economically , judicially and socially you'd be moving into a type of democratic Socialism. The very word is repugnant to Americans, especially to the Republicans. The very competitive nature of humans fosters a hierarchy as opposed to communal equality and equity .Even under radical communism the elite have different rules which favour themselves and not the masses., the so-called proletariat. . This is also due to humans who i when they get into a position of power are inconsiderate and greedy. Just a reminder Mickey if there is ever a hope for change it will not come from a king or a God but from the people , and not through revolution but through eliminating corruption and getting up legislation that ensures equality with equity.. In the USA 🇺🇸 as in Australia 🇦🇺 both major parties talk a good talk about freedom equality equity etc bit it appears to be just that TALK. PERHAPS we need another renaissance as we saw in Italy 🇮🇹 in the 14 and 15th century. What say you?. Keep well and best for your family 👪.

@@redmatters9318 Honestly, I'm of the mind that if the internet and streaming services and social media didn't keep the populace complacent, we probably would have overhauled our own government by now to some degree, but the control over what people read and believe is far too strong, and the timing is too late. We're now working on a timescale of less than a century before the planet becomes far less habitable, so regardless of what small changes we make, there is likely just not enough time to make the large changes that need to happen, quickly enough. The people that are aware of what's happening are just going to watch everyone else slowly deliberate things as the weather destroys our infrastructure. These heatwaves, and winters, and hurricanes, and floods, and tornadoes are only going to get worse and worse, whether people believe it or not. Stay safe and move somewhere that isn't near a coast if you can... but honestly, it's prolly gonna suck differently pretty much everywhere soon enough.

@Carl Nipmuc Indeed. Would the officers here respond well to a sing-song, polite "Shut up"?

[@lukarancini1630]

I’ve once been stopped out of curiosity by Albanian Police. I was just driving home and they started to give me casual convo. I responded briefly and asked if I could go. Long story short, they wanted to search my car cuz I wanted to go away. I got extremely mad, but was calm all the way through, while the cops were super mad and nervous picking up every piece of paper I had around the car and throwing it in the seats. After an hour of searching, they “let” me go. Being the one saying to the officer calm down, it was a power move, and I could see the rage of them not finding anything in my mums car 😂

best comment ever!

[@Nietzche89]

@Aluzky You can't have a ruling that immediately allows you to trump a constitutional right based on a "feeling". Founding fathers would despise that as much as they despised every tyrannical attempt to treat will as rule of law. Officer safety allows you to do that so can't be defended by any means. Liberty and freedom are more important than safety

Have these dirty cops that think they win by taking you for a ride and not showing up for court by having them subpoenaed.

"If you didn't do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about, relax", while we violate your rights. All those officers are there for not wearing a seatbelt? This is one of those things that cause the public not to trust law enforcement.

No false words have ever been spoken. We see plenty of totally innocent people go to jail and even to prison due to corrupt and incompetent cops and their trumped up charges. A cop can arrest you foe "interfering with an investigation." Whatever that means. The case may get thrown out, but the damage has already been done.

He was out of the car when the search occurred. No way was this for officer protection. He could not reach for anything on the passenger side when he is outside and on the drivers side and controlled by two officers. They were looking for drugs or another reason to arrest him.

[@robv5834]

Do you think police normally search the car WITH the occupant still inside? Cmon this is silly 😂

Well if he didn't look like he was reaching for something or to hide something then this wouldn't have happened.

[@JustABill02]

@@robv5834 All I am saying is that the officer safety as a reason for the search is bs. They could use the vehicle exception, but I don't think they have reasonable suspicion for that.

[@robv5834]

@@JustABill02 well he did clearly lean over. He could have been hiding a weapon for sure doing that, so it was stupid to do so to get his phone before they got to the car. I don’t think you can argue that. And as said, they can’t very well search with him in the car, so he had to be removed. Can you think of a single officer protection search where the driver remained in the car during the search? I can’t.

[@Woogoo336]

Seems like you are trying to logically justify it outside of op's reasoning. If he left the car, there is no longer a danger to officers if he had concealed a weapon in the car. If he reached for a weapon and has it in hand, they are having a shootout by now. Also, this was his only opportunity to grab his phone, had he reached for something with the officer there that he wasn't asked to reach for he would immediately have a gun against his head.
