Bad meeting with USFS officer

[CedarPants]

Talking about something crude that a law enforcement officer said while doing his job does not make this guy anti-law enforcement.  Not sure why you would make that assumption clindsayrun

I can't think of a single good reason for him to say the Republic office are all inbreed.  That is what this thread is about afterall no?

...a "three+ hour ordeal" and someone is pissed about ONE particular one-liner comment allegedly made by this LEO. No, the real issue is they got caught and didn't like it, so to exact some minor revenge they intend to file a non-sense complaint, an additonal waste of time and tax payer resources.

I feel the general sentiment of these threads are reactionary and inflammatory. Someone else already said it, but the pitchforks and torches seem to come out for these threads... therefore I consider these threads anti law enforcement in nature. It doesn't seem like a big leap to me...

What if the situation went like this:  An African American is pulled over for talking on his cell phone.  While writing him a ticket, the officer refers to everyone in the city being a (choose a racial slur), then sends him on his way.

The gentleman reports the comment to the police department.

Now, is this guy anti-law enforcement for reporting it?  Should he just shut up and quit whining?  Is he just some guy looking for revenge because he's pissed he got caught?

One thing, USFS Officers (like most in natural resource law enforcement) set their own schedules, and there is really no need to tell the local offce their schedule since they don't actually work for the ranger district. Try calling up a USFS Ranger Station and ask when the LEO will be in next, most likely you'll get a response like "no clue, he/she does her own thing and shows up here when they can"

I personally have a hard time believing this whole story, especially about the inbred and scheduling part.

Bigtex, do you know this guy ? I do and think it's very possible he would say it..............

like i said in my post i was in the wrong and will pay my ticket i make excuses for that.. I have made a formal complaint on the officer for acting like he did and i have three witnesses... I never went off or said anything mean towards the officer as some of you assume... And im not trying to get out of my ticket at all in fact i sent my money off today... As far as wood permits are i had them but was in an area closed to wood cutting the areas that are open around here are realy cleaned out..but like i said i was in the wrong and will pay.. And am not a thief..  Or anti law enforcement..

I believe you Jess.  Good for you on reporting that guy; he shouldn't be able to get away with making comments like that.

I see no difference in getting a ticket for stealing a quart of sea water in the middle of the Pacific Ocean from endangered fish.  There is plenty of it.  There are also billions of cords of wood rotting but you are not allowed to use them.  But as some say   IT IS THE LAW

The permits pay for services. If I buy a permit and you don't, you're stealing from both of us. Our national forest are pay to play just like anything else. When we break our leg up there, we expect someone to come find us. When we find a meth lab, we expect someone to dress up in a silly white suit and get rid of it. If you want heat your house with wood that's really, really cheap, but the permit, go to the right area, and cut it legally.

Did you buy a discover pass?  Would you report someone if they didn't have one in their window when probably they should have?

[pianoman9701]

I did buy a DP and a NWFP. No, I'm not going to turn someone in for not having one. If I go cut wood, I will also buy a pass for that. I may not agree with all the passes we have and will continue to vocalize my complaints to my representatives, but I will observe the law until it's changed.

[KFhunter]

good for you then, carry on.

Question to all about this post. We have freedom of speech, but does a LEO have the same rights, while on DUTY, to say what he/she feels like saying, as we do, irregardless of the ticket ? Any LEO on here that can fill us in ?
