[QUOTE=RustyKuntz;2226276]What's even more amazing, they do this on a daily basis to everyday citizens. LEO can now stop you for something as simple as having 1 tiny license plate bulb / light out, even though the other one is still lit. They than seize that opportunity to try and get you on something else. I'm ok with using that to capture criminals who are on the run or have warrants against them. However, leave the law abiding citizens alone. I had that happen to me a couple of times. On one occasion, the officer told me no lights were lighting my plate. I respectfully asked her to turn her head lights off so that she could see that it was actually lit. She then said, well, you need to replace them with brighter ones. I asked her, where does it say they have to be lit to a certain brightness? Anyway, due to me being in an area of town that I did not fit in, they decided to search my car, obviously for drugs, which I do not partake in. I could have denied them the request to search my car but I had nothing to hide so I let them. Meanwhile, the time they spent searching my car, they could have been doing something more productive.[/QUOTE]Writing traffic tickets to law abiding citizens who work real jobs is much more lucrative than stopping real criminals and real crime.

Who knows a SW could had dropped a tiny piece of her medicine in your car or anything else you may have missed and you should do it anyway because its your right.

[QUOTE=Bucktrain;2226878]Writing traffic tickets to law abiding citizens who work real jobs is much more lucrative than stopping real criminals and real crime.[/QUOTE]With all due respect sir, your not law abiding if your breaking the law by participating in the patronizing of prostitution, so then it would be the cop duty to search you out.

[QUOTE=RoadWarrior615;2227233]With all due respect sir, your not law abiding if your breaking the law by participating in the patronizing of prostitution, so then it would be the cop duty to search you out.[/QUOTE]Who was talking about patronizing? For a city as small as Nashville we have a disproportionately large police force. I've lived in much bigger cities where you could drive around all day and maybe see one cop. Its obvious that here in Nashville with such a large police force there should be little to no crime. But instead the majority of the police are out to write traffic tickets to regular citizens. Each year they have an article in the newspaper about the record year in fine revenues the police generated. Law enforcement is a business disguised as protection in this city.

It is quite interesting where Law Enforcement chooses to spend it's time. Non-revenue producing rape investigations, nah. Tennessee has over 7000 of those outstanding cause they can't make any money from them. Homicide, nah. No money there either.

Let's see where are our forfeiture laws? Where LE can seize any asset they can make any non-sense claim that an asset the Police covets is associated with crime. Oh yea, first non-violent drug cases. Not getting into that one on this forum. Next, Tennessee just passed a law in which assets may be seized in a similar manner to drug laws except they changed it to human trafficking. Now I'm not for human trafficking, but the Police have already abused these laws and targeted LEGITIMATE Chinese Massage Businesses with these laws.

We all know that the Police are abusing them cause every monger on here has tried to get special treatment from the Chinese ladies with no success. Yet, LE in Tennessee can sniff these out like a starving dog going after bacon filled plastic eggs on Easter morning.

Anyone else find this just a BIT SUSPECT?

Sucks when it does but any tickets / charges get tossed if you are stopped for just not fitting in. (yay!

[QUOTE=Jjjohnston84;2227635]Well said.[/QUOTE]I totally agree very well said.

Okay, this is a Nashville forum but a lot of guys hit Vegas periodically.

John Popper wakes up dizzy:

-Jeepster1.

Guess who's out on the track tonight?? Looks real good from a distance in her short black shorts but when the light hits her it's a different story. Putting it mildly it looks like she's had some outbreak all over her entire body. Looks like some leprasy bs. Nastiest thing I've seen in a while.

Anyone else find this just a BIT SUSPECT?[/QUOTE]I know you don't want to hear this but a crime is a crime. Non violent crimes turns in to major crimes at some point. There are tons of those crimes ha-penning everyday here and some of them turn violent. You got SW's robbing and harming Johns. SW needs drugs. They go find drugs from dope dealer. Now if she never met you or that John she wouldn't have money to go find a dope dealer and dope dealer will say it is not profitable hear and move somewhere else.

All crime have step ladders and command. Every crime trickles up or down. Don't think just because your feed a drug addicted SW some $$ that it is totally fine because it is not. I been in the streets heavy during my years. I seen alot of unreported SW crime go on. I seen the dope dealers move in to neighborhoods and fight for territory for the SW $$ , I seen it all.

Also you can't even get mad at Metro, they took their orders from the captain who get his orders from the Mayor. So the Mayor is who you should be made at not metro. Its like if you were working at mcdonalds and a customer get angry at you because a cheeseburger is $2, they need to get mad at the ceo / or owner of mcdonalds.

Alot of you come from your nice comfortable suburb, or rural area to get SW time to time, give them money and then go back home to your rural area or suburb and hide out until you need the fix again, so your like its ok nothing wrong with it but you don't see the gritty side of it. The behind the scenes.

And its proven alot of men are human trafficking young women, why because johns are looking for SW's. If police stop johns then SW's will leave and no human trafficking here.

How many people speed vs people who murder? When the police want to fill its coffers with money targeting the 99% of the normal citizens is going to net them far more money than targeting the 1% of criminals. How much money is the city going to make arresting and jailing 1 human trafficker vs setting a speed trap in brentwood for a day?

When they law permits seizure of all assets they "claim" is associated with the crime then one alleged human trafficker who also owns a business or multiple business they stand to make a killing. BTW. These seizure laws are guilty until proven innocent. Your property is gone until you are proven innocent, even then it can take years to retrieve your assets from the Police.

This behavior is nothing short of stealing from private citizens. It nauseates me.
