I've said numerous times here about the 2 guys in a traffic stop and how he treated them aggressively. I also thought he was a jerk in the drunk guy at the convenience store incident, even though I didn't feel sorry for the suspect. He also appeared in a traffic stop with a young man in a stolen car who claimed it was his mother's.
Same here. It's very interesting that when Lower arrives, he becomes the main officer. I don't think I liked him in any season 16 segment.
I like Garbowski too.
It sure seems like Lower is the one in charge even if he's the backup. I liked him in seasons 11 and 14 but couldn't stand him in season 16.
I remember Rath and I thought he was a jerk, especially when he said "shut up". I thought the store employee who chased him was a bit of a jerk too.
I don't agree either with marijuana in any state being a felony. Arizona law says resisting arrest is a class 6 felony which I also don't agree with.
Another officer I didn't like was Jeff Lessard from Maricopa County in season 22. He stopped the young adult for a traffic violation, and almost immediately smells marijuana in the vehicle. The suspect got in a rage when Lessard told him he had to tow it. What was even worse was his parents both came out, as his house was near the stop. He didn't leave right away when told and when he finally did, Lessard followed him and rudely told him "You don't want to do what you're told then you can go too ". When the father questions him, he rudely yells "Stop it". He admits that he was just going home, but then Lessard tells him he committed a "Class 6 felony", which was resisting arrest. The son continues his rage in the back of the cruiser while the father doesn't even go to jail. I'm not confident, but I'm guessing the father went right home with his wife. I had to laugh when he mentioned about the felony.
I agree that it ended up being a worthwhile arrest. I didn't feel sorry for him either. I don't believe the suspect was going for the gun at all. I honestly believe the suspect was very confused and had no clue what was going on or what he was doing. I understand cops will stop people for potential violations. I was more upset wondering if that was a legit reason to stop him or not, then the arrest itself. The suspect seemed nervous and irritated dealing with him too, as well as the officer being slightly passive-aggressive. The suspect seemed like he just wanted to mind his own business than to deal with the deputy.
Did you actually see the Tulsa episode I described earlier?
Another segment I didn't care for was the one from season 22 in Palm Beach where a guy was stopped in the middle of the road messing with a circuit breaker box. The guy claims he was just working on his car. In a search of the vehicle, they found drugs and a gun. The deputy claimed the suspect was trying to go for the gun for the glove box, but I think the deputy was just harassing him in hopes of finding something. The firearm was stolen, but I think the deputy was just looking for a reason to arrest him starting out.
I didn't like the segment either in season 22 when the Tulsa Officer was questioning two black males who were thought to have had car trouble. The officer immediately assumes they might be under the influence of weed so he does a series of tests. The one suspect runs on foot but apologizes. That whole segment too seemed to be the officer just looking for an arrest.
I've seen hundreds of COPS segments and I've probably disliked at least about a dozen.
I'm not a fan of officers stopping people just to try to find a reason to possibly arrest them. I know they threatened him with a taser too. It was indeed very intense.
I'm pretty sure he was in the segment where the suspect hid in the dryer.
That's even more unfortunate.
I've seen that episode before and I don't have empathy for him either. It was very terrible that he followed her from New Jersey to Florida.
Yeah. He was a jerk for almost the whole segment. He went ballistic when the suspect opened the door and was and was not all that polite when questioning him. And I agree that he was just looking for a reason to arrest him. I remember him at the beginning saying that it was a slow night so he stopped him because he thought it was suspicious. I felt bad for the guy when he got emotional after the officer was a jerk, plus I thought it was very condescending of the threat to hurt him if he dared to swallow. I also remember at the end the officer saying "I hope you never come back in this area to buy drugs". I hope he got help.
Pretty much the police have to call medical staff if they swallow drugs.
I knew the same officer was in another segment but can't remember which one.
I do too. I think cops would be more respected if they were cooler and polite.
Another officer who I didn't care for was the Las Vegas officer from season 20 who stopped a vehicle parked in a lot. It was in the middle of the night and the guy claimed he was waiting for a man to discuss work. He's nervous throughout so the officer takes a closer look. He finds drugs in the guy's mouth and says rudely, "nice try" and also says arrogantly, "Does that hurt?". The suspect also claims he wants to talk to his parents, but he's 40. Like I said before, I don't like it when suspects swallow drugs, but I didn't care for the officer's aggressive attitude.
I've seen that episode before too. I didn't have a single problem with any of them as well.
I also remember an episode from season 25 in Almeda County, California where two young men got arrested for drug possession, and I remember the one suspect thanking the officers for how cool they dealt with them.
Another cop who I thought was a jerk was the one Portland officer who stopped a car outside of a bar where a couple were engaging in indecent exposure and was very condescending to the woman who he thought was arguing that exposure wasn't a crime. They were sent on their way but I thought the one officer was very arrogant. This was from the season 25 "Ho, Ho, Ho" episode.
I thought that was very cringeworthy too. If he didn't get belligerent with the officer, I'm positive he would have just walked home like the cop was planning to do. That cop was one of my favorites too. I think his name is Tommy Stoffel.
I agree with suspects swallowing other drugs thinking they won't be arrested, or even tossing or discarding them somewhere else.
Any suspect that decides to swallow drugs, particularly marijuana. If they didn't eat it, it's likely they would have just went on their way with a ticket.
The speeding car segment is also from season 24.
I actually watched that segment earlier and other than being maybe slightly arrogant, didn't have a problem with Hardy.
