I want to know what LAW they'd take my car away under...
Also, he can't pop my hood when i'm on my drive way!
I think Ruel is right. I think the fact that I didn't give a **** if they were there or not pissed him off the most.

My friend had to pop his hood on his driveway. Police got a call saying he was speeding around the neighborhood with his MR2. Obviously when they saw his Blitz Nur-Spec that didn't help his case at all.

So base rookie pay is $65k for a typical 48 week. Let's say he picks up 1 extra shift every two weeks, which is pretty conservative figure for young gungho cops. That's an extra $24k at time and a half. Someone really hardcore about getting a lot of OT can make a lot more than $100k. It's the whole OT issue that keeps getting abused by most PDs. Granted, most of the older guys tend to rather spend times with their families and doing other stuff, but their base pay goes up.

Nah, policemen get shot at. You want to become a fireman for Orinda/Moraga. Starting pay is around $90k and you only fight 1.2 fires/year. My buddy say's he's basically a glorified taxi driver, taking old ladies with broken hips to the hospital about 8 times each day.
