Government - The only Growth Industry left in New York City

BTW, what these cops are doing is commonly known as "entrapment." Which is very much illegal since you were directed by the Police officer and then fined for following their direction. This is why I recommend everyone get a phone with video camera capabilities. If you want to see a cop flip out then point a camera in their face and make them responsible for their actions.

I have done it...and they had to catch their tongues. They started yelling at me and told me " I suggest you step back". I said " I don't care what you suggest, it's a free country and I can do whatever I want, the camera is rolling for you". They sure liked that. They shut up real quick & turned the other way and closed their mouth.

By that point, I was aggravated with the other lady cop who was a partner with this one and I yelled, as we drove by , " Hey how does it feel to have a crappy job like this where you have to lie about people to meet your quota? It must suck to be on the bottom of the career chain huh?". She almost started to yell something out of the window and when she glanced up, met the face of my camera phone and caught herself and started to roll up the window ...so being immature...I laughed really loud and said " Yeah sweety, keep rolling that window up and do that thing you call a "job"."

At least it made me feel better...I'm just sayin'.
