24 things cops know, but most people don’t
February 06, 2013 By with Tim Dees
Not all of these are strictly what the police know that private citizens don’t, but they’re close.
Many are things I wish I could have said, but would have been in big trouble for doing so.
1.) Even though you say differently, you probably don’t know your rights.
2.) If
you leave your teenager in charge of the house while you go away for
the weekend, he or she will probably do something you forbade them to
do. If they decide to host a beer party, your house will be wrecked.
3.) You can’t talk your way out of a ticket. Lots of people talk themselves into one.
4.) Of course it went off. What did you expect would happen when you pulled the trigger?
5.)
The electronics in your radar or laser detector work no faster than
those in my radar or LIDAR gun. By the time the little red light goes
on, I already have your speed. 你有反雷達測速器但沒效，因為我的雷達測速器速度比你快，當你偵測到時，我已紀錄下你的速度。
6.) We know you had more than two beers.
7.)
If you grew up with guns in the house, you probably knew how to get to
them, even though your parents thought they had them hidden or locked
away. Don’t think your kids are any less ingenious.
8.) Arguing
with me here will not go well for you. Arguments are for courtrooms,
where you can make any statements and ask me any questions you want.
Out here, I win all the arguments. 跟我爭執是沒用的，想爭執請到法庭上見，否則在我執法時跟我吵最後還是我贏。
9.)
We really don’t care how many FOP, State Sheriffs Association or 11-99
Foundation stickers you buy for your car. If you deserve the ticket,
you’re getting it.
10.) Yes, you do pay my salary. Today’s obligation can be calculated by the following formula:
((Amount
you pay annually in state, county, or city taxes/365) x (Fraction of
budget allocated for law enforcement))/(Number of employees in my
organization) 沒錯，你的確是納稅人，你有付錢給警察當薪水。但你付給執法員警的比例可以如此計算： (你所繳納的稅 X 分配給警察的預算比例) / 警局員工人數
11.) I’d be happy to give you a refund. Do you have change for a penny?
12.) Most able-bodied people really can do those tests while sober.
13.)
You are not the first person to see a cop and say "Take him, he did
it," "I didn’t do it," or to tell your kid, "If you don’t behave, that
cop will put you in jail." You probably aren’t even the first one to
say that today. You have, however, caused me to mentally label you as a
moron.
14.) The gun isn’t to protect you. It is to protect me. 槍不是拿來保護你的，是保護我用的。
15.) Your substance abuse problem is your business until it spills over into someone else’s life. Now, you are the problem.
16.)
I don’t especially care what your race, religion, sexual preference,
ethnicity, political affiliation or economic status is. I do have a
bias against assholes. 我才不管你什麼種族、宗教、性別的，我只對混蛋有歧視。
17.) Can anyone here point out this person’s parents? He just asked me if I knew who his father was, and I don’t.
18.) Believe it or not, you really don’t drive better with a few drinks in you.
19.) Do unto others, but do it first.
20.)
We are not armed, uniformed scribes. If someone has threatened,
insulted, or otherwise vexed you in some non-criminal way and you want
it put on record, write it down, take it to a notary public, and sign
it in their presence. Poof, you have a record. If we could make one
change to improve society, better parenting would be toward the top of
the list.
21.) There probably are
teenagers who can handle alcohol responsibly outside the direct
supervision of an adult. We never run into them, though.雖然青少年在無父母看管時有可能喝酒不會鬧事，但我卻從來沒有遇到過。
22.) Please press firmly, you are making four copies.
23.) You are in ______________. We don’t care how they do it in ___________.
24.) Yes, you very well may see me in court. I get paid overtime to be there, win or lose. 沒錯，你我的確很有可能在法庭上見。但我常在法院兼差，你可以試看看打官是誰會贏。
