Mall cops are car hops
So today after i got out of class one of my buddys asked me to take him back to his apartment. So i did, after dropping him off and re-fueling my car at the kum and go on the corner or 7th and Duquesne i headed down Duquense street and headed back to MOSO. I just passed the new pizza joint in that that mini mall behind the gas station when all of a sudden there was cherry's and berry's flashing in my rear view mirror and they were wanting me to pull over. Well if any of you guys have ever been on Duquesne then you know there is no shoulder to pull off on, so i drove 20mph until i got to the alumni building right before the school. Well two cops rush to my window and start telling me that my windows are to dark and i dont have a license plate on the front of my car. I say "okay?" they say "let me see your drivers license" i say okay and reach into my back pocket. But guess what? I forgot my wallet at home that morning. Go figure right? So i tell the cop that i commute from Lamar Mo and that i totally forgot it because i was running late this morning. He say "okay." and asks me to step out of the car. I say, "alright officer." The moment i stepped out of the car the second police officer grabs me and puts me up against the car, starts to pat me down, then puts handcuffs on me and slams me into the back of the car. No exageration. While im in the back seat i see an officer searching my car like theres a meth lab in it, then all of a sudden he stops,looks back at the police car, gets this huge smile on his face, and starts to head back to where im sitting. When he gets in he looks at me and shows me my grinder and says "why didn't you tell us you had dope in the car?" I look at him and smile and say "that was used for K2, which is a substance that resembles marijuana and is 100 percent LEGAL in the state of missouri. His remark is, "crap, i got an e-mail about this yesterday." instead of letting me go they take me to a fucking shack in Duquesne and start giving me a DRE.(basically field sobrioty tests for marijuana) I pass, but then he tells me i have to get my blood drawn and i have to sumbit to a urine analysis. well i smoke marijuana everyday after i get my homework done so i know im going to fail. So i tell him, he states that that is fine but he still has to do it. Next thing you know im at jasper county police department in a holding cell with 6 meth heads with DWI-of marijuana charges and a failure to yield. My bond was set at 8,000 dollars and i haven' a god damn clue whats going on. They towed my car, took my cellphone and still have not returned it. (they also used my cell phone to talk to my friends in order to bust them with pot.) So the question is, Why do we let these stupid ignorant people who have the easiest degree at MOSO patrol and try to keep our streets safe? When did police officers turn from the good samaritains who protect us from criminals into the judge, juror, and executioner. And finally why do they need to find a way to put a routine stop into a certain classification for a reason that still hasn't been fully explained to me. Does not every case have it's own variable that should be looked at before issueing a citation that could ruin someones entire life? I dont want to go into a spill on how we can change it or anything ill just end this with one statistic. 26% of all inmates in missouris prisson's came from jasper county. Trigger happy?
