I just wrote a police officer a ticket

So today I saw a police officer parked in a yellow "no parking zone" But he wasn't responding to an emergency, He was at a 7-11 and he walked out with a big gulp. He was abusing his status as a police officer. And this is how I am about to knock him down a level for it. I live in Oregon. In Oregon it is a little known fact that you don't have to be a police officer, or a parking attendant to write someone a parking ticket. [url=http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/153.html]See ORS 153.058[/url] Now back to the story. as the officer was coming out as soon as I saw that he was parked illegally I took a picture of him ( as he was coming out holding his big gulp, and of his car parked illegally. AND of him getting into his car. This is all of the evidence that I need to issue him a citation. I went on down to the police station and initiated the proceedings of filing the citation. Filled out his ticket, and took it down to the court house as per the instructions. At the courthouse I gave the nearly-finished ticket to the clerk who found an available court date. And then signed the ticket. And took an oath that the information was correct. This police officer is now going to receive the ticket in the mail with his court date. I will also be going to this court date where I will be presenting the photographic evidence of his illegal parking. He will have no excuse. tl;dr I wrote a police officer a ticket, and now he must appear in court. UPDATE: 500 replies w00t, I will be posting the pictures AFTER the court date. Due to legal/security reasons. [Edited on 11.18.2012 6:31 PM PST]

  • The only downside is that now that Police Officer has free reign to nail you for even the slightest action that's against the law... Still, abuse of power is abuse nonetheless.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] coolmike699 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kikashi hatake That guy puts his -blam!- life on the line to protect -blam!-s like you. I hope you get -blam!- over by police for now on.[/quote] So the officer putting his life on the line makes him exempt from parking rules? [/quote] I wonder what else that makes him exempt from. Police state here we come. Thanks to people with the mindset like Kikashaiiaishda. [Edited on 11.18.2012 6:11 PM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] theHurtfulTurkey [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The 13th Arbiter Actually, police officers are allowed to park in those spaces, as well as fire lanes. [/quote] Not unless they're responding to an emergency. [url=http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/turning-the-tables/Content?oid=753233]Precedence from OP's state[/url]. [/quote] a very good example of a similar case in the same state. And just a note in the event that anyone is confused. the incident in that story is not my incident. Also I find it amusing that the comments on that article are very similar to the rage that this thread has caused in certain individuals. Something about citizens giving the police tickets seems to make people angry. [Edited on 11.18.2012 6:03 PM PST]

[/quote] They are only allowed to park in the emergency lane if they are responding to an emergency. Seeing as the emergency lane is in the street and to park there requires mostly blocking a whole lane of traffic. This officer was not responding to an emergency.

  • Police officers do not, the majority, care about your profession when giving you a ticket, so it's also fair they get them too. They are not above the law. Now, I wouldn't go out of my way to give him a ticket myself. But I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. Just a parking ticket. [Edited on 11.18.2012 5:56 PM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kikashi hatake Can't wait till someone mugs you and that police officer walks by and turns a blind eye. -blam!- yourself[/quote] I carry a weapon at all times. Someone has attempted to mug me in the past and they cam very close to being shot. So thankfully I do not need the police to protect me from being mugged. Plus if you are already being mugged, its not like you can just call the police and get protected. [Edited on 11.18.2012 5:56 PM PST]
