I've got a police ride along coming up.....?



Hey,

Soon, I'll be riding along with my local Military Police and I'm looking forward to it. However today, I got stopped by a rude police officer asking me to buckle up my helmet. I was on my way to the my local police detachment, ready to drop off my ride along form, and suddenly I see this rude cop come up to me and he tells me to buckle up my helmet. I was riding my bike and I wasn't traveling far.

I'm well aware that you should always buckle up your helmet while riding a bike. However the think that bothers me the most, is the way the officer spoke to me. He was rude and incompetent.

Funny thing is I'm planning on becoming a police officer after high school. I've got one year to go, and as much as I love the police, I just can't stand the fact that their will always be crooked, and rude cops out there......

What do you think of all of this? I just hope I won't ride along with this cop while I go for my ride along soon....

Regards

Jordan,

It could've meant one of two things. He could just be a hardass or he may have had the idea that you KNEW your helmet needed to be buckled and that you may have intended on being beligerent. Some cops just lose themselves behind the badge and the power. It's not a matter of who you see...it's a matter of who you prove to be. Don't let one mean cop turn you away from your dreams. Just go out there and be better than that! Good luck. Source(s): I'm a Reserve Officer.
Isn't is amazing how people who are corrected for breaking the law always say that the policeman doing the correcting is, at the very least, "rude"?

Well, this is in fact reality. You can't change it. I hope that when you become a police officer you take this with you as an experience.
Good luck!!!
But don't forget to buckle you helmet for you own good.
All you said was that the guy told you to buckle your helmet. How does that make him rude (let alone your reference to being crooked)?

If he was cursing or something then go talk to his supervisor. If your just upset because he corrected you then get over it.
I am one of the good guys.
