I was driving with my girlfriend over the weekend, going back to the city from Tantallon. Halfway between Sobeys and Superstore towards the end of Hammonds plains road, there was a police check with 3 morons checking license plates and inspection.
One was at the front of the line, one in the center and the other was at the back checking the oncoming traffic. 2 were tasked to check the traffic heading in our direction.
There was a car ahead of me. They asked us to advance. So I slowly advanced, with one of the officers shining his flashlight in my eyes, and signaling something that i couldn’t make out due to his intelligence. I thought he was signaling me to advance to his location so he can check my inspection since the officer ahead of him was checking the car ahead of me.
I figured they were trying to be efficient. Well I thought wrong. How many officers does it take to check an inspection on a car, 3 they say:).
I get to the officer and he’s screaming.. STOP STOP STOP STOP. I was rolling mind you, I was like, what the, I could still see the tires of the car ahead of me when I stopped. The officer sounded like he was talking to someone in Afghanistan, you know when they signal a car to stop and it doesn’t so they shoot the driver.
Anyway the officer came towards me after him and his 2 other partners took their time in checking the car ahead, and said: “Where do you think you’re going, do you think you’re going to go through the car in front?”. So I replied: “I stopped didn’t I” with the same tone he took with me. Then he proceeds to ask me for my drivers license.
Of course I refused. He had no reason to see it, he can’t force me to show it to him, and I knew he was just abusing his power and being a typical idiot! He was shocked none the less, he was like, what? as if to say, how dare you, I was like you heard me, you have no reason to see it unless you check the license of the next 3 cars. He asked me to pull over, and before I did, I asked the other 2 office to come with us so we can have witnesses aside from my gf, one of them replied, well he’s my supervisor, I replied, do I look like I care who he is to you?! I pulled over, didn’t turn the car off, left everything in place, he asked for my license again, so I refused again and asked him to explain to me and give me a good reason why he wants to see it. He did, so I took it out of my wallet, he went to grab it and I stopped him, saying that he only asked to see it, he can see it without touching it. The best thing the idiot could come up with was: “Is that you’re real legal signature?” Are you fucking serious!!! It’s bad enough you were called out on everything you just did in front of your colleagues, and in front of all the cars that were waiting in-line to go through your lazy asses, and the best that you could come up with was that question? How pathetic and embarrassing. That’s Policing in NS

Sooo, To prove your point you were showing aggression to the law because you didn’t like their tone of voice? Plus you held up traffic and acted like a smart ass.So you have to hope upon hope that there is absolutely ZERO traffic infractions or you could be charged maximum fines for all (it is the police discression to give warnings or full out tickets).Good luck with the potentially expensive fallout if the officer is spitefull.Now I bet your bottom dollar that the people being held up thanks to your stroking of your ego were pissed the fuck off and saying “What the hell is this asshole doing? Doesn’t he know I got crack in the trunk. I hope the police bust his head like a ripe mellon for fucking around… Fucking hippies…”
LOL… L – O – (fucking) L!Another anarchist causing shit and not even realizing the fallout effects.. the cars that just drove through while they were dealing with your dicking around might have been the car they were looking for.. the guy who robber your mother, the drunk who willd rive ten minutes up the road and run over your kid… and you have the balls to be a cunt to this (probabally young kid) of an officer who was out there doing his job for a shitty pay (how much would you have to pay me to deal with ass-cunts like you, I can’t even say).It boils my blood when people act liek this towards cops. Just pulling the tecnicalities for no apparenty reason – however usually there is a reason, the few G’s of pot you have in your coat, the warrant you have on your name for unpaid child support etc… or you hold a grudge against cops because they busted you or your firends for some stupid gangsta/capebreton bullshit. FUCK YOU you worthless piece of trash, with the nerve to act like you are above law enforcement. As for policing in Nova Scotia – if you were in Toronto, or the States the situation woudl have probabally involved drawn side arms, hand-cuffs and probabally a trip to the police station. What a fuck nut. Get a life, stop wasting my tax dollars being a punk to these guys and let them do their fucking job.
Ustwess, let me shake your hand.I came from a land where the people would cheer and say “serves you right” if the police hauled your ass out the car and lovingly beat you till the white meat showed for dicking around because you probably deserved it anyway.I’m black, I live in a “bad” neighbourhood apparantly and I get off late from work everynight as I work the night to graveyard shift. I get pulled over occasionally because I know cruising around 2am in a decent looking car means you might be up to something. It’s even a running joke with some officers. I don’t get pissed off and I hand them my fucking license so they can run their search. You see, they could pull you over and request your license if your car matches a discription of a major crime. They could request your ID to run a search if the probable cause is that they are looking for a suspect. However, they are not obligated to tell you that as they need to protect themselves and not let on that they are looking for you as you could be a dangerous suspect. I wish they tasered your ass and THEN billy clubbed some sense into you.Civil disobedience is still disobedience.
This almost sounds like a joke. That being said, my favorite part was “So I slowly advanced, with one of the officers shining his flashlight in my eyes, and signaling something that i couldn’t make out due to his intelligence.”my question to the OP: Do you think that this misunderstanding of the officer’s signal (probably the same one the 100’s of other cars before/after you UNDERSTOOD) could of been due to your intelligence?Patiently awaiting your reply,
Ustwess: took the words out of my mouth. Agreed.
Dude, eventually in life you will learn that there are a few people you don’t fuck with. Customs Agents/Border Guards and Cops are at the top of my list.Folks, lets help him out, who are a few more people you don’t fuck with?
Me. The Bad Guy ain’t nuttin’ to fuck with!
I would like to know how the OP got their license…did you read the NS driver’s Handbook at all??? YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT – You have the PRIVILEGE of being a licensed driver and can have that privilege taken away at any time. I’m sure those police officers acted completely within their right…at ANYTIME you can be asked to produce your license, registration, etc, and for ANY reason.Now shut the fuck up and pull over!
I reserve judgment until I see some documentation for or against the necessity of yielding your license to a police officer. Where did you pick up this piece of information?
“…the PRIVILEGE of being a licensed driver…”One can read this information in the NS Driver’s Handbook; starting on page 24. Everyone who has a valid license is supposed to know this information…
This jackass has already been berated and shown the moron that he is but I’d like to add one point:you have, have, HAVE to show your license upon request by a police officer. They dont even need a reason to pull you over in general. A cop can pick any random car for any reason and LEGALLY pull it over so that they can check for a) a valid license and b) insurancewhat the fuck do you think the point of a license is? to have a nice picture to show the doorman at a bar? Its PROOF that you are legally allowed to drive (ie went through all the wonderful tests and other bs down at the Dept of Transportation)THE END.
here is a question i need answered,without checking your liscence, how can an officer see if your liscence is expired?
