Open invitation to Burgos

Reminds me of a similiar situation I had with FHP supertrooper, while on duty I got a phone call that my step brother was in a serious motorcycle accident and was trauma alerted to broward general. once I arrived with several other uniformed officers to my brothers side, I had the coldest POS trooper ask my intentions with his possible 10-15. I explained our relation and inquired about the 10-15 (reckless Dr.). He excused himself from the ER and returned shortly after with 3 10-94's. He approached my brother who was still unconscience from the accident, held 4 citations about an inch from his blood soaked face and started to explain his court options. This must be a course given at the FHP academy, I have never seen this mentality from any other agency. I grabbed the citations and politely ask all 4 of the supertroopers to exit immediately. I invite every single trooper that reads this post to attend police week in D.C. next year, then go to work and look one of US in the face with that attitude. Oh, yeh, before they left the ER one trooper turned and stated "Thats how we like to catch them". Kinda glad Burgos wasn't there, who knows he could've been a 15.

Where are we finding our Troopers? Are we getting the Wakenhut rejects? Are they the one's who couldn't cut it at Critical Intervention Services? You gave a cite to a Lt.? Are you stupid? you know that will come back to bight you in the ass. Let alone to someone running 10-18 in there POV to a fellow officer/son's hospital bed. Ok so you got a report of a reckless car. Does that citizen know how you cleared the call? 10-8 no report. Can I give you an escort? Is what it should have been. FHP better take note that use locals are getting feed up with your stupid actions. If you don't want to be part of the brotherhood then let us know. However I don't think you wanna make a ticket war. Hell we have more deputies in my county then you guy's have troopers in the state. Let's be nicer. No excuses IT WAS FING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

First, if I remember correctly, the LT was stopped over 90 miles fromt the hospital, so I doubt an escort would be possible. Secondly, as LEO's, we should all be aware of how unsafe "emotional" drivers are. Third, the ticket was a BAD idea--no question. Last, to mention a ticket war is insaned, especially for the reason you cited--there are more deputies, which means deputies have more opportunities of BEING stopped. Back the emotion out a bit and try to reason

[nononsetpr]

Ticket war! So dumb,. Ticket war or not, I'm not going to write another cop. :idea:

Unfortunately there are those who are mature and professional and those who are not.

We can only hope and pray that those who are not, will over time, as they age gain that level of maturity & professionalism...recognizing that some never do.

By the way, whether it was a LT from Miami-Dade or a civilian, a dying child creates a range of emotions that are hard to deal with.

I have been lied to and learned from it, that did not make me bitter only wiser.

Don't write anyone who is on the way to the hospital to see a dying relative, COP or Civilian....there is always next time.

Stay safe

It's always great to read wise postings! Sounds like you have your priorities and head on straight

Man up big guy!

To FHP TRAVEL AGENT above, I'm a trooper, and I apolagize for the way you and your step brother were treated at the hospital. Whether he was reckless driving or not, it's no excuse for the way you guys were treated. And for the record, if your step brother was unconscious, then the tickets should have been issued later by the clerk of the court because of his injuries. Not all troopers act like that and I hope you don't think bad of every trooper you see because of that expierience. I personally don't even treat regular civilians like that...much less an leo or his family. So again, I'm sorry for the way you were treated, and I hope your brother makes a full recovery soon. Be safe.

Ticket war = stupid idea. Yes, I have been citied by FHP. But I do not write Public Safety, period.

For the most part Troopers patrol lonely and remote roads, Trooper Burgos is presently assigned to populated tourist and water sport paradise (The Florida Keys) In watching the bellow linked video, of a Texas Trooper ambushed shot multiple times and left for dead. I wondered if Burgos worked a desolate highway, would he have a greater respect and appreciation for local Deputies and Officer. Or would alienate him self as he did in June.

Man up big guy![/quote Smoker, you must have been a marine, no wonder your stupid. Name a place and time I will kick your ass for him. He's young and made a mistake and will undoubtably learn from it. Guess your perfect along with all of your buddies. Punk

If you guys would teach common sense in your so called great academy this would have never happened.

I love the analogy on one of the posts. A trooper compares beating his wife to giving professional courtesy.

Lets see the last time I knew Domestic Violence was a crime! Speeding is an infraction which can be handled by discretion.

Domestic violence is a crime...yet far more people get killed, suffer serious bodily injuires and have their families destroyed as a result of excessive speed and willful and wanton reckless driving crashes. Not to mention the enormous impact on auto and medical insurance...check out your rates sometime. I did say excessive speed...I think even 15+ mph over depending on the circumstances should obivously be handled with common sence and discretion...especially with a LEO or EMS member. 20-25+ with exigent circumstances...come on use your own common sence! However, we in law enforcement like so many in our society have our own folks who don't have any common sence. In this day in age...EVERYONE in law enforcement and emergency services SHOULD go out of their way to appreicate, help and respect each other. The first way would be to set an example and not put themselves into a position to even be stopped...let alone whine when they do. Drive safely & have an nice day!

he wasnt 90 miles away from the hospital. he was doing 90. frankly, i would of done 120 and not stopped....no chase policy fhp arseholes

To ALL Fellow LEO out there. Remember do not stop for F.H.P. they have a no chase policy. They can not and will not pursue!! So after a few they will just shut their lights off and go away. Have a great day and be safe.

LEO who thinks he knows a lot doesnt know shit. I encourage you to try it and see what happens to your dumbass. Are you going to take a chance on pissing away your job or do you think your going to get professional courtesy after I run you down and lock your dumbass up, or would you rather get a call to meet with your supervisor and show up with me standing there with a warrant for your sorry ass. If your that stupid you need to be in jail.

It's only a chase if you call it in as a chase. The only thing that will be called in is when your sorry candy butt is on your way to the county jail and your ride is up on a hook. Ohh...my fellow LEO...please tell me you're going to refuse to sign...or resist too! We all look forward to the idiots that refuse to stop...go ahead make our day!

Oh, I see, a nerve was struck. Not that that is hard to do, with the minds of brainwashed simpletons. You imbeciles are salivating at the idea of arresting another officer, aren't you?

The worst part about this dilemna is that there is no retribution. I was issued a citation by FHP. Yet I've pulled over three off duty Troopers since then and refuse to perpetuate the cycle.

A co worker of mine drove up to North Carolina last week. In Palm Beach County, on the turnpike, he had to stop to adjust some new appliances rest in the bed of his pickup truck. The appliances were slowly inching there way from beneath some covers, thereby exposing it to the elements. Minutes after the stop, a Trooper stopped and questioned him. The Trooper seemed suspicious; justifiably so - It was 3 am. My co worker explained that he was moving and eventually identified himself as a LEO, displaying his badge and ID. Unsatisfied, the Trooper then asked him to produce receipts for the items. No, THIS IS NOT A JOKE. He actually asked for receipts. Fortunately, my co worker had and produced them.

What is wrong with you people? Your outfit consists of the biggest array of scumbags law enforcement has to offer! And the worst part about it is that you're proud of it!

Stop offering,"Oh, it is a few bad apples." Every c--ksu-----g Trooper I encounter is a self righteous a-sh--e!

Outstanding post, these guys can't see past the nose on their faces.

I love the post, I'll be standing there with your supervisor and a warrant. C'mon fellas we're not the scumbags you think we are. Lets stand together and stop this divide.

I have noticed the FHP Troopers that used to come on this board would defend their own, I think they have gotten fed up with the 1 year rookies that won't listen to reason and common sense.

Lets not forget that the "A-hole trooper" you may encounter has a chain of command just like we do. Why would it be necessary, we are COPS!

A LEO won't stop for you while enroute to a call or in the legal performance of his duties. Find a ASA and a judge to sign that warrant. Dumba$$.

Theres no way I would attempt to stop a marked unit. I would see what he's going to and go and assist him, but for someone to say run from a trooper in your pov, they have a no chase policy, thats a diffirent story. Were not talking infractions anymore boys.

That was from the Roadman, forgot to put my user name on it.

The posts about stopping marked patrol cars on duty for an infraction...is a total embellishment intended to spark controversy...and obviously it has. Who do you guys think you are kidding!
All LEOs should exercise professional courtesy WHEN the circumstances dictate it. We should ALL cooperate with one another and respect the type enforcement work we all do...our main purpose is to provide public safety...whether it be a murderer or reckless driver. As a matter of fact...the public is more likely to be negatively affected by a reckless driver or a DUI driver etc...than a serial killer or armed robber believe it or not.
As for you city and county boys & girls with the deep-rooted animosity toward the Patrol...lighten up a little. Don't let your emotions be driven by your insecurities and inabiliy to get hired by a State or Federal agancy...your limited jurisdictional authority and lack of public respect and trust shouldn't get the best of you guys!

Everyone that cries on this board needs to take their rear ends back to home depot, because you are all tools.

Brother LEO's, FHP writes fellow LEO's so do your best to avoid them, why take the chance?

It's only a chase if you call it in as a chase. The only thing that will be called in is when your sorry candy butt is on your way to the county jail and your ride is up on a hook.

This is for "WWRD" Enforcer. Well now we all know what your name means, "WIMPY WHINEY RETARDED DUMB@$$" ENFORCER :lol: -Protector of the FHP (FLORIDA HANDICAP PATROL). :lol: :lol: You know what you're a baaaaaaad man as long as you've got your back-up units. If you have problems with a violator who's not an LEO, imagine an actual pissed off LEO. My point is, stop with the conditional threats because you know and I know that you're the type of trooper that will chase and would not call it in as a chase (violation of policy). :roll: :oops: :roll: :oops: You're also the type that would greatly use your CREATIVE WRITING SKILLS when a report is generated, if and when an accident occurs because you were "CHASING" a vehicle. ....And to actually say, "please tell me you're going to refuse to sign...or resist too"......You have a serious problem and I hope that you get help for your internal hatred towards your FELLOW LEO's. I'd normally clown you but your post really sickens me and if you and anyone else knows, I am the type that would gladly engage in a verbal confrontation but for some reason I don't even feel the need to. :twisted: :twisted: :( :(

Just a note on the Lt.Bello/Trooper Burgos incident. I happen to work with LT.Bello in MPD Communications. The day that we all learned what your trooper had done to one of our own was needless to say a really bad one, and FHP was not really high on my list of favorites to say the least. As i was walking into our station, I noticed a marked FHP unit parked in a no parking zone in front of our station. I would be lying if i said that the thought of towing the car did not pass my mind , but something told me to leave well enough alone. After a few minutes i arrived at my office and spoke with the major,who showed me a check written out to a fund established for Lt.Bello's granddaughters educational fund written by a Trooper. Afterwards, i looked out of our fourth floor window and saw the trooper get in his car and leave. It just goes to show you must judge each individual,not each group. great lesson learned

Lt. Roman

How are you going to tow an Emergency Vechicle? It's protected by FSS.

The moron trooper who said he would attempt to arrest an officer would find it a poor decision. I wouldn't submit and I don't know who would, therefore its a standoff, and I bet I can get more guys dressed in my uniform to the scene than you can yours.

The PR nightmare that idiot would start would ring throughout the FHP and I surmise there would a few out of work troopers.

You weren't that smart to begin with but making those statements prove you are beyond redemption.

I don't blame you though, I blame your dad for marrying his sister.


In the end, you can't back up those words, and you are a moron of great renown for making them.

Double Dare Dummy...he/she's talking off duty...civilian clothes and vehicle...post what you want...but wise up, do the right thing and try to set a positive, law abiding example for yourself.

Some moron got on here and recommended running from state troopers because they have a no chase policy. Nobody is talking about marked cars or on-duty LEO's. If a trooper attempts to stop a marked car, something is wrong. I have heard of one trooper stopping a marked car in my career and thats because he came from that agency and had a hard-on for some of his old co-workers. After he sat through a bigtime royal ass chewing by the Dist Capt, that issued was resolved.

To ALL Fellow LEO out there. Remember do not stop for F.H.P. they have a no chase policy. They can not and will not pursue!! So after a few they will just shut their lights off and go away. Have a great day and be safe.





THIS IS A REALLY BRIGHT POST.

I AM NOT SURE OF ANY "FELLOW LEO" WHO WOULD PROMOTE RUNNING FROM ANY AGENCY. YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT. TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT, YOU BAFOON :!: :!:

You know what?, you've got to be out of your rabbit mind!!!! I tell you what, get clocked speeding and see how many troopers actually adhere to that NO CHASE policy. On the radio, NO ONE IS CHASING NO ONE, but in reality,.....YOU CAN'T OUT RUN THE MEGA HERTZ!!!!! So, while you're driving like a butthole thinking that you're in the clear, there will be a very skilled and trained TROOPER following you closely at a speed just above the posted limit. This trooper will continue to follow you closely until you decide to stop or enter into another jurisdiction probably belonging to another TROOPER!!!! Now when this happens, it's going to seem as if they're chasing you but THEY'RE NOT!!! :wink: Now if and when you total your vehicle, you better hope that the trooper handles your accident with CARELESSNESS,..Sorry, I mean with CARE!! Well, don't worry, he'll call dispatch in time enough to get medical rolling for you. :wink: :twisted: :wink: :twisted:

I agree with you but how do you feel about corrections deputies. I've been stopped and without even saying I was in corrections, the trooper became sarcastic and cited me. Then, when I told him I was on my way home from work and I was sorry for the speeding (which was only 7 miles over) he asked me where did I work. HE ASKED ME!!!! WHERE DID I WORK!!!! I didn't even display my star.......THAT FOOL STROKED ME ANYWAY!!!!! Yes, all agencies have their idiots but for the most part, most troopers are good guys. PS-Good guys make mistakes also. :) :) THEY JUST CALLED THEM STEPPING STONES!!!!

PLEASE READ SOME OF THE INFO ABOUT A FWC OFFICER CITING COPS IN HIGHLANDS COUNTY AND HER AND A CO-WORKERS DISLIKE AND THREATS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA COPS. IT ON THE HIGHLANDS COUNTY SHEFIFF SITE. UNREAL.

I am a long standing memeber of the Miami Police Dpeartment. I am a senior ranking member of my Agency. The ridiculous and favorless follies that have followed Trooper Burgos are really, without good sense, and/or good reason. I am amazed that this blind HATRED can still exsist freely between our agencies. A stupid website has his picture. That is WRONG.

I am well, well, aware that a Trooper stopped a member of my Department... on his way to aid his dying son, a Miami-Dade officer. Tragic, but one thing had nothing to do with the other.

I DO NOT KNOW, and neither does anyone else... what really transpired on that early morning. I was not there. Last time I checked, NOBODY else was there either. Just the Trooper, and the City Lt.

I will NOT cast an opinion on the Trooper, or the Lt. Nobody is talking about it, so I guess it is best to start the process of letting it go.

I understand that the Trooper was given a form of 'talking to' by his boss... it was in the 'paper'. But, you know what...
MAKES ME FURIOUS ???
Why do WE have to hate each other because we do not carry the same patch on our shoulder ??????????
I have stopped, countless times, because a Trooper was on the side of the road with a violator. I usually get a look, because I am in an unmarked, but when I ask, 'are you ok, Troop' ? I get a smile and a thumbs up. I love that. Isn't that what it's all about... we ALL go home ?????

It is ALL about being protectors of the good of the ORDER, whatever badge or patch you wear.
We are all in the same JOB !
I understand the difficult decisions, I have put dirty cops in jail for the rest of their lives. But, that does not make me a rat.
They handed themselves their own fate. Drugs, Guns, Murder.
But Troopers, seriously... is 10 miles over or 15 over worth messing with a fellow cop ? I understand, it's your turf and if someone is driving along your highway at 85, then, you own them. But is humiliation the key to your stretch of roadway ?
Is it worth the petty fights, or can you appreciate the same job and the same love of peace, for all who serve ?????

Typing in all caps and the grammar skills of a mongoloid.....unreal.

I can’t believe you guys were even quarrelling about that stupid post someone put up about not stopping for FHP in their POV’s It’s obviously some joker civilian trying to get a rise out of you and not a cop who wrote that. I can’t think of any cop who would have that mentality and you guys should let it go.

It is funny how many times I have spoke with FHP officers before and since the Burgos incident who state they would never write another cop but it continually happens.

There hasn’t been one time where I have let a FHP officer or their family member go for a traffic violation that has said to me No…please give me the ticket, I deserve it. So to all the FHP people that are giving LEO’s and their family members tickets… knock it off And to the rest of you I thank you for the courtesy.

To FHP TRAVEL AGENT above, I'm a trooper, and I apolagize for the way you and your step brother were treated at the hospital. Whether he was reckless driving or not, it's no excuse for the way you guys were treated. And for the record, if your step brother was unconscious, then the tickets should have been issued later by the clerk of the court because of his injuries. Not all troopers act like that and I hope you don't think bad of every trooper you see because of that expierience. I personally don't even treat regular civilians like that...much less an leo or his family. So again, I'm sorry for the way you were treated, and I hope your brother makes a full recovery soon. Be safe.

WOW IM IMPRESSED. I WAS GONNA RIGHT SOME ANGRY HATEFUL ANTI FHP MESSAGES TILL I READ THIS. I ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE RESPECT FOR SOME FHP NOW. THE GUY THAT POSTED THIS SOUNDS LIKE HE KNOWS WHAT THE BROTHERHOOD IS. ITS TOO BAD THAT FHP HAS SEVERAL BAD APPLES THAT MAKE THE STAND UP GUYS LOOK BAD. JUST THE SAME GOOD POST YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE A GOOD HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS... I ONLY HOPE THAT YOU WORK IN THE TAMPA AREA.

[CAP]

I am one of the many that posted my negative remark, we were downright angry when it happened. Forget the tragedy involved, just the fact that a rookie who took on a lieutenant old enough to be his father, considered him a liar and wrote him. I may be old fashion, but I consider that disrespectful. If I had been Burgos, and I taught the Lt. Bello was most deserving person of a traffic summons, I would had passed the buck to a supervisor.

Now let me try to explain why I THINK ( It’s just my opinion ) Trooper Burgos name is still being trashed after all this time. For decades Troopers have considered themselves the Lords of traffic and felt that every driver that is pulled over, need to be cited. That includes other LEO, on duty, off duty, marked units. They even write other troopers. In the Eighties Central Florida Troopers stopped and cited other young hispanic Florida Troopers driving marked cruisers up to Tallahassee. Trooper Burgos has now become the poster boy for this policy, and a name to witch direct the anger at. What you see being directed toward Burgos is the decades of frustration and yes HATE that other LEO have for FHP. Like my bothers Guest 54 and Mamey, I would love for this madness to go way. I must add that here in Miami Dade, those days are long gone. For years there is a great deal of mutual aid, respect, and brotherhood between all agencies including FHP.

God Bless Broward Deputy Brian Tephford, who lost his life last night while conducting a traffic stop, his partner Deputy Corey Carbocci is recovering from four bullet wounds. We must all be one family.

God bless all of you and stay safe….

To the person asking where we get our TROOPERS. Having previously been a municipal officer and a deputy sheriff, I think I can say with confidence that the FHP is the most professional agency I have ever worked for. For your information, when I reported to the academy I was treated just like anyone else. No better and no worse. I had to earn my badge with FHP and it made no differance that I had fifteen years of prior job experience. I am the first to say that I would never write another LEO a citiation, even though I have had it happen to me. I stop many LEO's from all over the country. They all got a warning. I find it insulting that you think that beacuse your agencies mission is more diverse, that it makes your's superior. I will be the first to tell you"HOGWASH". Why dont you make an appointment to ride with a TROOPER in your area and see how we really operate.

why are you Troopers so stubborn and a** holes.....trying to get people to sign tickets while they are on their death bed. I hope no other LE agency in FL extends any professional courtesy to you all.

Is this what you call the Brotherhood, One Trooper makes a mistake and you come on here an talk shi-t about all Troopers. How we are trained in the academy is not brainwashing is called discipline which most of you who post on our forum don't have. I believe in giving professional courtesy and at the same time I give professional courtesy to all LEO's that are on duty.

This thread is so old..... :?

suuuuuuuuuure, alllllll righhhhhty then

Reminds me of a similiar situation I had with FHP supertrooper, while on duty I got a phone call that my step brother was in a serious motorcycle accident and was trauma alerted to broward general. once I arrived with several other uniformed officers to my brothers side, I had the coldest POS trooper ask my intentions with his possible 10-15. I explained our relation and inquired about the 10-15 (reckless Dr.). He excused himself from the ER and returned shortly after with 3 10-94's. He approached my brother who was still unconscience from the accident, held 4 citations about an inch from his blood soaked face and started to explain his court options. This must be a course given at the FHP academy, I have never seen this mentality from any other agency. I grabbed the citations and politely ask all 4 of the supertroopers to exit immediately. I invite every single trooper that reads this post to attend police week in D.C. next year, then go to work and look one of US in the face with that attitude. Oh, yeh, before they left the ER one trooper turned and stated "Thats how we like to catch them". Kinda glad Burgos wasn't there, who knows he could've been a 15.

3 trooper at the hospital?!? I have a hard time believing this story on that statement alone!
