Thats just wrong to write an LEO

....It's a UBC with no marks on your license....Not the end of the world!!!
Second, as a "professional" law enforcement officer you should know that you are a cop 24/7 (we’re just not payed for it all), and as such you should act accordingly.
It seems that many LEO's think they can come to Highlands County in an attempt to flee the grasp of their own agencies...Therefore giving them "the proverbial right" to cut loose, have a good time and show their arse!!! Well guess what...we're not going to put up with it...You'll be held to the same standards (or in some cases...HIGHER) than you would be, within your own agencies.
As a LEO in this county, I too have been "badged" by many cops both on land and on the water...It seems that instead of listening to the basis for the stop...All we hear is what agency you work for (which is far superior than ours), what your rank is...then finally, how “if the roles were reversed”, you wouldn't be writing “us” a ticket…the latter of which, I think is a pathetic last effort to talk your way out of a ticket, which you would be writing to any other “citizen” if they committed a similar act.
In closing, I have worked with and/or around Ofc. Zimmerman on several occasions and have found her to be a level-headed “professional” law enforcement officer, therefore if she thought that you deserved a citation based upon your actions…I too, think you deserved a citation. If you need the address for the courthouse or the clerk’s office, for payment…Let one of us know….We’ll post it for ya!!!
Oh yeah, by the way most of the replies to this post are not from officer’s, they are from “citizens” who read this site, and post in an attempt to stir up SH*T, which is what you tried to do by posting here. OR they are friends of yours from your agency, whom you have told YOUR side of the story to, and they feel compelled to post in your defense.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY THIS ARE RAN IN THIS COUNTY…STAY IN YOUR’S…IT’S THAT SIMPLE
Sorry man that is wrong. I dont care who you are telling a cop that. Im a deputy over here in Sarasota and I will tell you now if you badge me. End of story-Have a nice day and enjoy your time out here. Im sure every story has two sides too it but these are infractions and if that is the least thing I can do is show professional courtesy to a cop and his family then I will darn sure do it. Those officers are only hurting themselves and their agency when they do stuff like that. Why would you even think a cop would fight a cop in court. Thats the dumbest thing I ever herd. There are 67 counties in this state why should Highlands get a reputation like that. Just school your water cop on police courtesty and the end of story. There are plenty of violators out their to get your stats and dont try telling me you dont give citizen breaks either. Its only a freaking infraction.
Re: Zimmerman to be trined as a trapper
Zimmerman is to be trained as a trapper in hopes that bitting the hand that feeds her will put things back in perspective. The Tally Observer is a cartoon that has been removed from this site as they have no clue of what law enforcement is about. Please keep your non law enforcement views to yourself and write your local newspaper and go sell a stroller or something.
This site is for people with merit and who respect law enforcement. Officer Zimmerman is obviously disgruntled as she could not get hired a s areal cop so in turn became wanna be cop in green or beige or whatever that is. Unfortunately her actions sevely hindered operations at FWC. Now they can no longer write tickets on the road because they need assitance how to do police work. Never fear DEP will school her how to be a water cop.
Erika Zimmerman making criminals out of innocent citizens
Officer Zimmerman of FWC is criminally prosecuting innocent people of the regions of FWC that she is assigned too.
