Avcrad next door came out with loaded guns asked me too wats up. i donated sum of my findings and made them happy. Back to the story. I got a email frum an officer that thought my car wuz stolin in 2008. This man wuz so nice i freaked out. In time we both will go out and MD.

One bad cop doesnt make all cops bad,one good cop doesnt make all cops good.The same applies to all.

So...what I could decipher from your post is....you found a WW2 Army base with your metal detector, then bought it for a dollar, but you were chased off by someone named "Wuz", and his armed partner named "Avcrad" next door...but later, you became friends with Wuz, because he was so nice that you freaked out.

Close??.....Maybe??....No?

The problem with that is, the 98% that are bad make the other 2% "LOOK BAD"! Problem is many feel like because they own badges and carry guns, they feel they can break the law just as quick as real criminals and actually get away with it as they ALL have lawyers to represent them at tax payers expense!

Sorry, I lost you at "wuz" and it was all downhill from there...Now was Avcrad a person or robot?, and was your car ever stolen? I assume it must have been due to you having to walk "sum" distance to chat?....

I mainly hunt with law enforcement guys. If it isnt retired border patrol its a friend who works for the county. These guys have a rough job and are not out to get everybody, just the bad guys you wouldnt want on your street. So if your a bad guy with a detector, you have something to worry about. Look, police are painted as the bad guys. But the few incidents that get played over and over on youtube is not a good representation of the courts or police system.They also have some great spots with permission to detect. You dont want to be put under the microscope we have placed our law enforcement in.

AVCRAD stands for Aviation Classification and Repair Depot. There are five or six in the country that are National Guard, and you put the state initials in for the complete title. Thus, MO AVCRAD would be in Missouri. Used to work at the one in Springfield, MO. We repaired and did scheduled maintenance on helicopters.

No, I think he's trying to say some major corporation bought the land for $1. He was chased off and at some point some policeman who thought the car he had was a stolen one sent him an e-mail.

I don't catch the connection to this forum yet but I remain hopeful.

i think we can translte site - sight, sum = some and frum = from. Most of the rest appears to be in English. :dontknow:

At the risk of being called a troll, I'll refrain from any remarks regarding my complete lack of comprehension of the aa's original statement.

I will say that, police mentality and mob mentality are very closely related. All it takes is one loose cannon to start a riot. Also, I'd say that the percentage of good cops versus bad cops in my opinion is about 70% good and 30% bad. By bad I mean individuals that shouldn't be in law enforcement to begin with, because they lack the self integrity, courage and honesty required to do the job to begin with.

These people take care of their own like no others. They are fully expected and required to break the law to protect their jobs and reputations.
Generally no immediate recourse can be had against a rogue police officer, except in the most callous of circumstances.

File written complaints against infractions they inflict on you or when you see them sitting for hours talking together instead of patroling the neighborhood.
Write it on your own paperwork and email them to their Captain. and at least two other supervisors.
Understand that you will be complaining about a rogue police officer to one of his best freinds and longest aquaintenances, so dont expect much They will throw away any complaints that you file through their legitimate system and then deny that they occured to begin with.

Document your compaints well for it is basically certain that they will be thrown out after you make them.
You then can go back about three months later and expose the fact that they have ignored citizen complaints. Make a very big deal about your complaint not being addressed.

This falls very very hard on their brass who in turn have to blame someone else. It effects their morale and they are then forced to attack themselves from within.
