I didn't want professional courtesy just you to be fair.

I had a vehicle hit my car today and flee the scene at a high rate of speed. I caught the guy about a mile down the road and a Trooper responded. The guy admitted to leaving the scene knowing that he caused damage to my vehicle to the Trooper. The guy stated "Yeah I knew I hit his car but I figured he'd follow me anyways so I drove to work. I was wrong for leaving but I did not want to stop when I could just come to work".

The Trooper wrote me a citation for having an expired insurance card and gave the at fault driver a careless driving citation per "he wanted all to be fair and since the guy wasn't swerving or trying to elude me he was not writing him for the hit and run".

The other driver had no idea I was a cop and I did not advise the Trooper until he was back in his cruiser and I was checking my trunk (firearms inside) for my new insurance policy. The Trooper wrote the citation anyway. I will pay the 7.50 but to be fair would be to write the guy who fled the scene his criminal citation. No proof of insurance; are you kidding me.

When I saw the Trooper arrive the last thing I thought I would be doing is spending my afternoon on my day off in the clerks office to pay a citation after I was the victim in a hit and run. You already know the at fault driver will go to court and beat the ticket per you did not witness the accident.

I didn't want professional courtesy just you to be fair B.A.

Sincerly,

Fellow Bay Area LEO.

P.S. Regardless I still believe in professional courtesy even with Troopers and I also believe in Karma.

Sadly you got to meet a trooper with no common sense. Even sadder, we have far to many of them. My feeling is in the hit and run, the subject left, he knew he had been in a crash and still left. At the very least he should have gotten a criminal citation.
Barring any circumstance like, dark deserted road, scared to be out in an area alone waiting for leo, etc. Something that would be "reasonable" to be defense. FSS says you don't leave, but again, being "reasonable" you should take into account, well anything and make a common sense decision as to enforcement.
Some people take too literal the contacts, contacts, contacts (i.e tickets, waring and cards). They just do not use their heads. Sadly you ran into this trooper. Hopefully there is no next time, but in case, ID yourself, professionally of course. Mabey that will snap the next guy into reality.....just don't bet on it.

You must be a city of Miami LEO, you cry just like they all do. Pay the fine u know the rules & regulation we dont care who u are.

i agree that it was a hit and run but if the trooper didnt feel it was justified writing the criminal why didnt he write for failure to leave required information? secondly i would disagree on the violator beating the ticket in court. you my friend have an obligation to show up in court as the victim and witness along with the trooper. you dont have to wait at the clerks office for your citation mail it with proof and it seems to me you would this already unless you have never worked traffic

LOL, the first person who posted actually acted like a human and as he/she stated common sense plays into this. You obviously are one of the mindless robots who gives the good Troopers of this state a bad name.

I have work beside and been supported by several Troopers who seem to have the common sense to know when something just isn't right. I don't work for Miami for whatever relevants that has with this topic. I don't know if its inexperience or low IQ which makes a few LEO's think that by the book means beating people with it.

If you actually read my original post I did not tell the Trooper I was an Officer until after he'd completed the traffic investigation. Per I did not want their to be any air of bias. It seems the only thing some can understand is policy so I will go that route tommorow.

And to the few of you drones out there, be safe and stop stabbing the people who stand beside you in the back. :wink:

If you are a FL Leo and the hit and run occurred in your presence you can detain the suspect for the local jurisdiction or FHP. You can be the complainant and all the trooper has to do is write the citation and attach you as a witness.

Your a cop 24/7. If he dropped the ball call his Sergeant to the scene. I would never for one second let anyone leave a hit and run, then be allowed to leave without a criminal citation.

If you originally presented an expired insurance card and you had a new one in your trunk, I fail to see why you were cited in the first place.

Sometimes we have to educate each other.

And then they wonder why they can't get a raise.

I agree.

To clarify the insurance info was not in my trunk I thought my policy may have been with my gear so I just opened it to check. I don't dispute the citation just the lack of enforcement on the criminal violation but making sure the non criminal non mover was issued to the citizen who called in the first place. I had family in the car and to me that means I was off duty.

And when I called dispatch to request a supervisor I was transferred from the local office and advised by a dispatcher in another county that I would have to call back tommorow per he/she left for the day. She advised there was no watch commander present in that area. She would not provide a voicemail for the Trooper.

I will try to work it out tommorow and am by no means trying to bash the Trooper. If he reads this he knows who he his is and I think the situation could have definitely been handled differently.

Sadly, some troopers are really idiots. And that is another reason I want out of this job. I dont want to associate myself with such ignorance. I almost never write driver 2 (the person not at fault) any tickets unless I have to for something criminal. Who gives a crap if driver 2 doesnt have proof of insurance or if it is out of date. If I can pull the insurance info up on the computer I will just put that in the crash form and leave it be. Driver 2 does not deserve a ticket for being a victim. It is really funny that he wrote you for not having proof of insurance and yet did not write driver 1 for leaving the scene even though that was the case.

Trooper,

You have a lot of common sense. When you transfer to a city or a county job, you will find that there will be new stressors that are just as ugly, albeit very different.

I also agree with the other poster who said that at a minumum, the hit-n-run driver should have gotten a criminal citation because he admitted to leaving the scene of the crash. Letting the criminal violation go because the trooper wanted to be "fair" doesn't sound fair at all; it stinks of a lack of common sense. :roll:

When did I say I was transferring to a city or county department? Granted there are dumb people in every job, but wow, there are some real morons in FHP. I have worked in other departments so my statements have some validity.

Why dont you go and talk with the state attorney in the county that this occurred and maybe they will see it like it is and direct file on the guy. The state attorney can write that citation the same as a trooper.

are you kidding is not looking for advice as to what to do next, he was just trying to make a point about a stupid error in judgement a trooper used. Obviously not all troopers would have handled this the same way.

We troopers are following the example of our supreme leader :devil: so don't expect fairness and common sense.

EARLIER THIS MONTH, I HAD THE PRIVELEDGE TO TAKE PART IN THE P.O.A.T. RIDE FOR KIDS IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY. THE EVENT WAS TO BENFIT A MIAMI-DADE COUNTY OFFICERS CANCER STRICKEN SON.

WE COMBINED MOTOR UNITS FROM ALL THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AS FAR AS BROWARD COUNTY TO ASSIST WITH THE ESCORT OF NEARLY 900 MOTORCYCLES. THE ESCORT ORIGINATED AT THE SNAPPER CREEK SERVICE PLAZA AND WAS TO CULMINATE AT THE TIKI BAR IN HOLIDAY ISLE.

TRAGEDY ALMOST STRUCK WHEN NEAR OUR DESTINATION IN MONROE COUNTY, A COMMUTER TIRED OF WAITING FOR THE MOTORCYCLE PROCESSION CRASHED INTO A MIAMI BEACH MOTORMAN.

THE MOTORIST ACCELLERATED THROUGH A BREAK IN THE PROCESSION, DISREGARDED A MIAMI MOTORMAN HOLDING THE INTERSECTION ALMOST RUNNING HIM DOWN, NEARLY MISSING ANOTHER MIAMI BEACH MOTORMAN, AND FINALLY HITTING THE MIAMI BEACH MOTORMAN. THE MOTORIST THEN FLED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION BEING PURSUED BY THE TWO MOTORMEN ON FOOT. THE FLEEING MOTORIST SEEING NO WAY OUT OF THE DEAD END HE DROVE INTO, STOPPED ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM THE CRASH SCENE. THE SUBJECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY THE AFFECTED MOTORMEN.

IT WAS OBVIOUS BY THE APPEARANCE OF THE DRIVER THAT HE WAS IMPAIRED. TURNS OUT HE HAD A LIST OF THE MEDICATIONS HE WAS INGESTING FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. A CON****TION OF AT LEAST EIGHT DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS, HALF OF WHICH IMPAIR DRIVING.

LUCK WOULD HAVE IT THAT THE TROOPER DISPATCHED TO THE SCENE WAS THE SAME TROOPER THAT GAVE A CITY OF MIAMI POLICE LIEUTENANT A TICKET FOR SPEEDING TO HIS SON'S DEATHBED AT JACKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. SADLY HIS SON, ALSO A POLICE OFFICER, EXPIRED BEFORE HE COULD REACH THE HOSPITAL.

IT WAS THERFORE NO SURPRISE TO US THAT THIS TROOPER WAS UNCOOPERATIVE. HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO TO MAKE SURE ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS SCRATCH OUT A SIMPLE CRASH REPORT. HE NEITHER ATTEMPTED TO DETERMINE THE OFFENDERS IMPAIRMENT NOR CHARGE HIM WITH DISOBEYING A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, OR LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRASH.

AN FHP SUPERVISOR RESPONDED DUE TO OUR INSISTENCE BUT FAILED TO CONVINCE HIS SUBORDINATE OF THE PROPER WAY TO HANDLE THE SCENE LEAVING IT UP TO THE DISCRETION OF THE TROOPER.

THIS INCIDENT LEFT A SERIOUSLY SOUR TASTE IN OUR MOUTHS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT COMMON SENSE ISN'T SO COMMON. HERE IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY WE WORK ALONG SIDE MANY DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES INCLUDING THE FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL. WE ARE ALL ONE BIG LAW ENFORCEMENT FAMILY AND DESPITE INCIDENTS LIKE THESE, WE CONTINUE TO DO SO. I IMAGINE THAT ALL AGENCIES HAVE A MEMBER LIKE THIS TROOPER.

THE INTENTION OF THIS POST IS TO OPEN SOME EYES AND MAYBE AVERT FUTURE INCIDENTS LIKE THIS, ALL IN THE PURSUIT OF BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS EVERYWHERE. OUR PROFESSION ISN'T AS POPULAR AS IT USED TO BE. IF WE DON'T HAVE EACH OTHER, THEN WHO DO WE HAVE?

are you kidding is not looking for advice as to what to do next, he was just trying to make a point about a stupid error in judgement a trooper used. Obviously not all troopers would have handled this the same way.

After some deliberation on whether I should call then later repeated calls to locate the Troopers Supervisor, I made the call. I was contacted by the supervisor yesterday and from the start it was obvious the point of the call was to minimize the incident not to offer any consolation or further opportunity for further action on the other driver.

The Sgt. told me that “I got off cheap for only $7.50” and that the Trooper told him that this was only a minor fender bender. He continued stating that the State Attorney would never file charges on this because the other driver fled the scene and went to where he works so no “intent” to actually leave the scene was there.

I think the intent was apparent when the guy drove almost a mile away from where the crash occurred at a high rate of speed. It is obvious that this was going no where so I’m done with it. This is an example of how we as law enforcement officers get stereotyped as not using common sense as we deal with the public.

If this happened to me I can only imagine how many times citizen are given the same song and dance to cover from someone’s lack of common courtesy and judgment. And as for me getting off cheap the other drivers vehicle struck the mirror of my vehicle knocking it out of its carrier. The trooper told me it would just pop back in. I was advised by my dealership today that the gearing inside this motorized mirror was stripped and the mirror is $275.00 my deductible is $250.00.

The driver of the other vehicle got a $117.50 careless driving citation so who really got off cheap.

Everyone be safe out there and realize that you can sometimes gain perspective by putting yourself in the place of the people we serve.

to the original poster, please go to www.copswritingcops.com (http://www.copswritingcops.com) and make a post with the report number. we will see that he is May 2007 Award winner

Interesting web site: copswritingcops.com This trooper already won the award for June 2006. You know what they say; "Once a _____, always a _____!"

I dont know him personally, just trying to be humorous. :D

I HEARD THAT JUST BOTH OF UR MIRRORS HIT AS THE OTHER DRIVER WAS PASSING, THAT BARELY EVEN CONSTITUTES A CRASH. IF IT WAS ME RESPONDING OUT THERE I WOULD HAVE JUST GIVEN U A BLUE COPY TO FILL OUT, UR LUCKY THE TROOPER EVEN WROTE OUT A REPORT FOR U. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF U GOT THAT INSURANCE CARD YET IN UR CAR. I WOULD HATE TO SEE U HAVE TO PAY A WHOLE $7.50 FOR NOT HAVING IT. I KNOW THEM HOTELS DONT PAY VERY WELL. IT IS KIND OF A TOSS UP DUE U PAY THE $7.50 OR DO U PAY UR RENT FOR THE MONTH IN UR EFFICENTCY APT.

There is no point in addressing these issues with FHP because THEY DON'T CARE.

Several years ago, when I was in the academy (Broward), we were warned about FHP. They do not subscribe to the brotherhood concept. Remember, you are not dealing with the sharpest tools in the shed here. They are hired by FHP for a reason. That agency gets every troglodyte that just emerged from a hole from some desolate town in Central Florida.

At the academy, these automatons are taught that they are the "real" cops and everyone else is scum. I know because I had one tell me so.

Bottom line is they do not believe in professional courtesy and they never will. You think Trooper Burgos cares what any of us think? He's a gutless scumbag for writing that LEO and NOT BECAUSE of the circumstances. JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE HE WROTE A LEO. Period, the end.

Are there times when I pull over a LEO and I'm greeted with the badge stuck out the window? Yep. You deal with it and move on. I pat the guy on the shoulder and say "Have a nice day."

I would not try to sell this point to the public because it is somewhat unethical, objectively speaking. However, as a police officer, we should all understand and appreciate the tenuousness and sensitivity of our positions. We don't need to add to each other's stress by writing each other tickets. FHP will never get this and NEVER WILL. They're scumbags, period. NOT ALL mind you, but most.

I particularly enjoy the indignant responses by the Troopers that act as if that they are unfairly stigmatized. PLEASE. You know god damn well your agency is notorious for this behavior. What other message board has multiple topics that are added to ad infinitum about Professional courtesy? No other. Police your own people.

First off, it is Efficiency without the “T”!!!!! I know, I know,… you being a scholar and all, you have a Poetic License to screw up the English language!! :roll: Does the term NEGLECT OF DUTY or JOB ABANDONMENT ring a bell? :oops: Guess not if you’re probably not a trooper to begin with, BUT if you are a trooper---you’ve got some gall in telling someone that you’d blue form the incident. Regardless of what part of the vehicle was damaged, DUMB@$$--THE VEHICLES WERE IN TRANSPORT!!!!! Can you say, TRAFFIC CRASH? Ooooh, you probably can’t say that DUE (hint hint) to the fact that you’re from some small hick town with only one long dirt road that only constitutes private property. EYES SO SORRY CLETUS OR COOTER (WESSENEVER YO NAME ILLZ), FO MY TALK’N 2U DAT WAY!!! Due you accept my apology? Oh, I mean, DO (hint hint) you accept my apology? :roll: Aaah forget it!!!! I’ll stop throwing hints. Man getcho DUMB@$$ off this MESSITCH BODE!!! Is that better for you, you back-woods DUMMY? :twisted: :twisted:

i work more crashes in one week then u do in a year i guarantee that. is that all u do is go around the message board and check peoples spelling. u ever think people type fast and mispell words. bottomline is u are a pus and i used to beat nerds like u up in high school. ur the guy that got picked on in high school and now became a cop so ur out to get the world. u can write all the smart remanrks u want but bottom line is u couldnt handle my 20 inch pythons.
p.s. spell check this pus %-------------------->

He's the best cop he knows. :roll:

that was for pass!!

You wanted professional courtesy for what you called a hit and run. You should have been a man, exchanged information when the driver stopped at his place of business and not even wasted the Troopers time. Then you wasted the time to call the Troopers supervisor, what a bunch of B.S. over two side mirrors hitting. If you were an LEO, you should have handled this situation yourself, and not even have called FHP to handle it for you. WHAT A BIG WASTE OF TIME!!!!! :?

Ok, here we go!! Make sure you capitalize the beginning of your sentences. Make sure you don’t MISSPELL the word misspell and on top of using that word, it should have been “Misspelled”, with the E-D at the end. Well, I guess it was Misspelled!!! “Bottom Line” is actually two words and REMARKS does not have an “N” in the spelling. You also forgot to put your apostrophe in the word “COULDN’T”. Oh and last but definitely not least,…..THIS IS LEO AFFAIRS.COM not H/O/M/O AFFAIRS MAKE ME CUM, you self loving RAT B/A/S/T/A/R/D!!! 20 inch pythons!!!! You sound like an unknown super hero from the ghetto or something. Look! Up in the air, it’s a TURD, it’s a SHAME,…no it’s STUPID DILDO, DILLDOE, DEALDOE, DEELDOE MAAAANN!!! As you can see, I don't know how you spell "Fake Anatomical Genital" and make sure you check the bold letters.

Hey dude or whatever you go by, you need to play with your own toys because I’m not into that kind of thing. Mr. FHP (FLIRTING H/OM/O/S/E/X/U/A/L PERVERT)!!!!! PS- You are so right!!! I am a 100% PUS (Person Understanding Stupidity). Now someone knows your pain!!! :twisted: :twisted: :oops: :oops: :evil: :devil:

i agree with yankee, after that reply, pass, i think u did get beat up in high school. that was the dumbest paragraph i ever read. by the way yankee had the correct spelling, its mispell not mispelled. u must be another dumb white trash floridian. 8)

You must be a city of Miami LEO, you cry just like they all do. Pay the fine u know the rules & regulation we dont care who u are.
Fellow Trooper, you have no common sense. You knock your fellow LEO about rules and regulations. What about the hit and run criminal charge? You Troopers have some issues.

Just and only a few. Remeber there's like 1800 of us, of course there will be arse's in the pile, like every where else. The rest of us have to hear about it everyday!! Take care

I work in Palm Beach COunty and had a B/M driving a Toyota pick up blow my doors off heading south on 95....he weaved in and around using all 3 lanes (and his turn signals)...I paced him a 85 in a 55....when i stopped him, he produced his DL as requested and his picture had him in a Trooper Uniform.... When i asked he showed me his ID and YEP he is a Trooper...out of Stuart....He sheepishly asked if i was going to write him. I took that opportunity to let him know I would HOPE he wouldnt write me or any cop a ticket, and I SURE AS HELL wasnt going to write him one......Cops dont write other cops...he agreed and we joked a minute and parted company....Hopefully, he will pay it forward to other cops he runs into.

I bet you didnt lecture him as well. He knows what he was doing and a lecture from you isnt going to change that. Good job. Keep an eye out for me driving from Boynton to Broward! unmarked truck :)

How is that a waste of time. The person damaged the cops car and then fled. That is a criminal violation, get over it. we as police officers have a job to do, even if it means having to write a bullshit hit and run report. Get over your self. It's people like you that give troopers a bad name.

There is no other forum on this website where there is so much hate going to an agency. Almost every post here is bashing FHP. Think that says something?

You must be a city of Miami LEO, you cry just like they all do. Pay the fine u know the rules & regulation we dont care who u are.




Im not a Trooper, but I have a hard time beliveing that this A$$ is one or a police officer at all. Please dont be fooled by this tard!
