Your experience with him definitely reinforces my impression of this guy. Thanks for the post and sorry this crap happened to you.
You know that's funny because he tried to use the firefighter excuse on me. He was too busy with "work" to respond to me apparently.

Wonder if he truly is a hose dragger? I assume they have some set of morals and ethics being public servants and all. Or is that just Cops?

Definitely a tool bag. First off, shouldn't be driving around POV in his work uniform. Second, if he were a professional, he would respect the officer for doing his duty. Third, just what a tool bag for thinking he is better than anyone else or special because of what he does.

I work EMS and police tend to like us more than the fire guys...less ego...an I would never dare try to use my position to get out of a ticket...I feel that professionally, morally, and ethically it puts the officer in a bad position.

If you don't want to get in trouble for doing something, you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Thanks for sharing this! Now before buying I will do a search and if I see the person started threads like this:

F**k** pigs

I'll decide not to trust them!

I remember one person (can't remember their screen name) almost didn't send me my Rugged Ridge Dash Organizer I bought. He was selling it used and lived about 80 miles south of me so we wanted to meet up. Never happened due to time conflicts via both parties so I sent him money via Paypal for it plus shipping. About 3 weeks goes by and I see nothing. I lost his screen name in my JK inbox but my Gmail account had it from a forum message notification. I sent him a message and apparently he forgot all about it and said he'd send it out. I spent like $40 for the RR Dash Organizer and shipping, and apparently he said he spent $40 on shipping and I think he was hinting I owed him $40. I just said thanks and received it a few days later. I was after of getting screwed over.
