Thanks for spellin' it out, Speedo. That's exactly what I was suggesting.speedsix wrote:...I'm not insinuating, I'm saying it out plain...SOME cops get a gal's phone number and address, it's a BIG problem...I personally saw a guy about 6 months junior to me go down for 7 rapes...know of another who raped a gal...and she was afraid to turn him in...he was on the force till he retired...it happens...and using the light bar and ticket book to line up the weekend's date(s) has always been done...by SOME cops...so I'd have gotten really upset if a cop called my wife at home or on her cell to tell her he'd dismissed a ticket...he's either real nice but stupid, laying himself open to all kinds of accusations, or he's hustlin'...it just ISN'T the way to handle it...a cop should be a lot more professional and businesslike than that...
As the brigade CSM told me up at Ft. Bragg several years ago, "...not all soldiers are good soldiers..." as we were discussing vandalism on a major post construction project. The CSM's observation applies to all walks of life.
