OKC speed traps

[circled9]

Miller District especially one 11th and 12th on Miller Or Linn. They are also watching rolling stops at the stop signs. By the way, what is so wrong with law enforcement officers enforcing the law?

Let me answer that question with another question: What is devastatingly wrong about not rocking your car and staying at a complete stop for 2-3 seconds at a stop sign?

For the person who messaged me, NO , I am not a cop.

Here's a thought...2 officers killed in seattle last year who were sitting on the side of the road.(look it up)..car slow rolled past them and shot them....dead. If an officer gets slow rolled, knowing about this incident because these things are discussed in line-up, they are going to follow the car and see if they guy takes off in an effort not to get caught....or drives around for a few minutes behaving themselves....Good God...it takes at least 20 minutes for a crystal ball to warm up..how is a cop going to know what your intent is until then or if they follow you/stop you? If you didnt do anything in those 5 miles....then great he moved on...what is the freakin' problem?

Don't go around telling people to look things up. I am not saying you are wrong, but if you are gonna bring something up, it is best that you have it on record.

And you see it as him being worried I will blast him, I see it as him following me and waiting on me to do something wrong so he can write me a ticket. I assume the latter, because he was already out there trying to write tickets. We will never know for sure what his intentions were, but if he is parked on the side of the road he should expect to be "slow-rolled" every once and a while.

especially when there are no cars around. It is one thing to not even stop, but when you do and only stay there for a second or so, cops need to cut some slack. We seem to cut them plenty when it comes to them doing things wrong like mis-identification of suspects and what not. Man do i have a story to tell about that

The cops in my district seem pretty lax as of late about stop signs and minor stuff like that. As long as you are driving like they would, they don't care. They are human most of the time and understand the stop sign is more of a yield sign now. I think they are more interested in speeding tickets, they provide more revenue.

Need to enter correction, one killed, the other wounded. Good enough? And actually there was a few officer shootings...

I also spoke to an officer today and directed him here...He states he "hates writing tickets and isn't out to try and write tickets despite popular belief" and only does so if someone is a complete jerk.....(not that others do or don't do that). I also asked him if he's sitting at the side of the road, and someone slowly pulls past him, what does he do?

"Well, if I'm not shot and its obviously someone who usually drives slow(like a little old lady), I won't mess with it...but I've had a few incidents where a car did that to me and it was a witness described car (the vague description of red sedan). If it matches that vague description..yes, I'm going to follow it until they do something dumb....most of the suspects I've seen, will do something that allows me to pull them over or I end up in a pursuit." "I had another case where we were looking for a missing female after a domestic and this car with a certain vague description rolled past, they drove okay for awhile and then rolled a stop sign. I stopped it and woman was in trunk."

Say it isnt so. Dont tell the truth, nobody wants to hear about the bad things that happen every day and night in our "big league city".

"hates writing tickets and isn't out to try and write tickets despite popular belief"

I understand, this is how most police are. But there are a good number there that are just the opposite and ticket people for small things, and then expect us to cut them some slack. It is police like this that make me glad there are groups out there making sure they do not abuse their power.

"I had another case where we were looking for a missing female after a domestic and this car with a certain vague description rolled past, they drove okay for awhile and then rolled a stop sign.

And this is all fine and dandy. However let me again say that if he is pulled over of the side of the road, he should expect someone everyone and a while to slow down. It isn't like i came to a complete stop, i simply slowed down enough to see what was going on. He obviously was there right tickets however, and the fact that he followed me looking for a reason to write me a ticket is what bothers me. Also, If my vehicle somehow met a description of a car they were searching for, then I would expect him to follow me until I did something wrong and pull me over. But he gave up, so obviously I didn't. And if it were the case that i met a description and he gave up, then there is a big problem with some of our police officers.


You seem to misunderstand me. I am all for supporting police and giving them the tools they need to succeed, but at the same time they need to show a restraint in certain instances. Civilians are not perfect, and neither are they. Just tonight on my way back home from lake overholser, I saw one cop run a red light, and another weave in and out of traffic without using his signal, and neither had any lights/sirens on. I know most officers aren't like this, but there are those out there that feel that the badge gives them a sense of entitlement. And i suppose the officer who followed me for 5 miles from the highway to the city streets was the same.

in mwc, cops like to loiter in close vicinity of bars thoroughout the city, namely 15th street. one time, me and my nephew were heading over to the new henry hudsons off of douglas about a year ago and they had the whole street blocked to where cops where conducting on the spot sobriety checks. you couldnt turn around, there were patrol cars signaling you to advance forward down on douglas. traffic was backed up for blocks because of it.
