This was mainly because they'd deploy SWAT to self-deletion attempts. One of my in-laws was an APD SWAT sniper. He quit when they stopped sending him to self-deletion attempts because apparently he was a psychopath who didn't want to be a cop if he couldn't murder innocent people.

[@Bacteriophagebs]

One of my in-laws was an APD SWAT sniper. When a new mayor forced APD to stop sending SWAT to "self-deletion" attempts as part of the DOJ thing, he quit the force in protest. This caused a rift in the family as half of us realized he was a psychopath who wanted to shoot innocent people and the other half "backed the blue." A Boomer uncle on that side of the family was an APD cop for 20 years and only drew his gun on a suspect twice in his entire career, and one of them was when a suspect ran away, the uncle drew his gun, paused, then holstered it and gave chase. He'd tell the story in a kind of embarrassed way, saying "What was I going to do, shoot him for running?" The culture of APD, like most police forces in the U.S., changed after 9/11, becoming more and more militant. My theory is that because the government started supplying cops with military equipment after that, and there was a war going on, all the people who wanted to play with cool toys but lacked the discipline, courage, and/or commitment to join the military became cops instead.

Freaking exactly dude! I've lived in Albuquerque for 20 years and the cops here, especially the old school ones are outrageous. I got arrested because I would not say I was gay. By the way, I am not. Got in a fight with my roommate, the cops asked you lovers or roommates? I asked what does it matter. Cop says if you're gay its domestic violence and he goes to jail, if not you go to jail. When I asked why, I found myself in the back of a squad car going to MDC in about 30 seconds. 6 grand for bail and $6,000 for a lawyer 20 years ago. Just to make sure the case got dismissed because they charged me with aggravated assault that's 23 years. Over a stupid fight between roommates. It didn't even make it to the Grand Jury. Probably because the guy said I chased him around and beat him up while he's 100 lb heavier and I'm an amputee who can't wear a prosthetic at the time.

[@goatkiller666]

When I lived in California, my driver’s Ed class specifically mentioned that refusing to take a test was grounds for the officer to confiscate your license. It was a condition of having the license in the first place. I have since moved from CA, and I don’t know if the state legislature has changed this rule since the late 80s. I’ve always wondered what it means if an officer keeps your physical license. You’re supposed to have it on your person when driving, but that normally gets you a warning at best. But they don’t necessarily charge you with a crime. One time, my sister was drunk in a parked car. The officer claimed she was driving it, so arrested the lot of them. He had them dead to rights for a minor in possession of alcohol. They grabbed the information from some passers by, and his report claims the three passers by saw the drunk girls about to drive. Which was a lie. One of the “witnesses” was military police from the nearby military base. He claims that the first time he saw the girls was AFTER they had been arrested, cuffed. And were sitting in the back seat of the police car. The officer kept my sister’s license. The rule is that if you go to court, and are acquitted, you get your license back. So we took all of our evidence to her court hearing, and the judge dismissed the case when it was clear the officer had lied. But a dismissal is not an acquittal, so… my sister could not legally drive until she went to another state. She was being truthful when she answered “Have you ever been convicted of a moving violation?” And she truthfully answered ‘no’.

Tayvin Galanakis would also be happy to tell you about how officers are more then willing to arrest sober people for DUI. The cop saw all the signs and smelled alcohol right before Galanakis blew 0.000 then the cop smelled weed. Galanakis was a college football player who is drug tested weekly so if he pops hot he's off the team. The cop still arrested him.

[@estherrayos]

Went to court with my son they have now a second case running concurrently asking for 1000 dollars- that’s extortion! They are making up fake cases to embroil people in the legal system and threaten with jail time!
