On helmet laws: "Don't get me started. I think we have too many laws. What ever happened to personal responsibility?"

On tactics: "One person can make ten decisions faster than ten cops can agree on one."

On gun registration: *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

County sheriff on CCWs: "...and I have yet to have one citizen I issued a CCW to embarass me."

On the S&W M500: "I want one of these new bad boys!!"

[geekWithA.45]

An NJ lawman, on NJ gun laws: "They're ridiculous. People need to protect themselves, for pete's sake."

The same guy, a minute later... "I don't see any good reason why people can't have assault weapons.....they're fun....as long as they aren't crazy, or anything..."

The Chief of Police who endorsed my Massachusetts Licence to Carry Firearms for "Personal Protection" (to allow me to carry concealed legally);

"You are responsible for and have every right to protect your family.".

Border Patrol Agent: "People shouldn't be allowed to own handguns."

I pointed to the Glock on his hip and said, "That's your personally-owned weapon."

"Yeah," he said, "but I'm a cop."

"You won't be one forever. Are you going to turn it over to the government when you retire?

"No, as a retired officer I should be able to keep it."

On the dark side, you just can't argue with a liberal. On the bright side, he's the only Border Patrol agent I ever met with that attitude.

Hey FPrice, want to let us in on who that Chief was? I bet there are a few MA THR folk (and maybe some other NE dwellers looking for non-res) who would like to know the name of the guy who endorses permits in that state.

"I am a citizen too."

"I sure hope he didn't procreate, before he died."

"Darwin was right."

"Shallow gene pool should be a criminal charge."

"Damn shame your momma didn't get an abortion."

"What do you mean you don't own a gun?" "Idiot."

I'll leave em at this, BTW these are quotes from me.
I am not very PC yanno. :D

Sorry, but he is happily retired.

Bad guy- "Hey! @#$*&!!! These handcuffs are tight!!!!!!!"

Salty Veteran Cop- "Hey, relax; they're new, they'll stretch".

[Standing Wolf]

Years ago, when I was a booking clerk, I heard a deputy inform a prisoner, "Your mother should have had an abortion and kept the after-birth." The prisoner thought about it a moment, hung his head, and nodded.

From "Arrested on Suspicion of Being Suspicious, or, Why I HATE the Sheriff." (http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95605&highlight=outraged) First aired on TFL.

WARNING! Basically, don't read this link. It is about the most virulent piece of writing I've ever done, it consists entirely of concentrated acidic rage, vicious unrepentant hostility, pervasive cynicism, and it really brought out a LOT of unpleasantness from all who beheld it on a variety of levels. If you've seen it before, you know already, so don't review it. If you've never seen it, see line one. Disregarding the warning gets you what you deserve, and bring your hip boots.

One saving grace. Because I wrote it, and put a lot of thought into it, I can now deal with LEO's in most circumstances without feeling like strangling them right from the beginning. That is a major accomplishment for me.

It doesn't say anyplace on this thread that the quotes have to be nice, pleasant, or positive. Unfortunately, this is what "LEO quotes" means to me. Regrets, but no apologies. :(

[DeltaElite]

Two of my favorites.

"Go take your meds."

"You have the right to remain silent, so please shut the hell up."

[TheeBadOne]

"One usually must go to a bowling alley to meet somebody of your caliber"

[TheeBadOne]

"The more we sweat in training, the less we bleed on the streets."

"No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."

"If it's worth stopping it's worth writing"

"You might beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride"

"Listen with your ears, not with your mouth"

"Some people are meant to be cops, and some people are meant to call the cops."

"God must love stupid people, 'cause he sure made a lot of them."

"I'm glad to hear the Chief Of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."

"I don't believe they should use the electric chair, they need to use electric bleachers."

"Life's tough, it's tougher if you're stupid."

"Law enforcement is not a spectator sport."

[Big_R]

The first three are from a friend who is a deputy sheriff in a remote MN county. Number 4 is from an episode of Cops. The last one is something a very understanding judge told me.

"Let me buy this round" It was his turn.

"Get that rice grinding horse the he!! out of my face before my Harley urinates on it" Referring to my brand new Honda Shadow.

"Can you believe they throw this stuff away?" Referring to his fruit box full of once fired range 10mm brass.

"Alcohol does silly things to stupid people"

"Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law"

I have duct tape....and I'm NOT afraid to use it.

[El Tejon]

From the files of KSFreeman's LEO daze--

Commenting on the thorazine shuffle: "Some people . . . they just ain't right."

Standardized police report: "Observed drunk, arrested same."

Comment on witness conferences: "Oh, do I have to."

Comment on repeat offenders: "Some people just want to go to prison" and "Some people collect coins, some collect stamps, but he collects felonies."

And, this looks like a good time to debut on THR [running, screaming--alright, alright, just a few] "You might be a criminal defendant if . . ." (all based on real world events):

1. A jury trial is a chance for a family reunion;
2. You refer to the deputy prosecuting attorney as "my attorney";
3. You pick up girls at the county jail;
4. The money you receive is more than the judge's salary;
5. A bail bondsman number is on your speed dial;
6. Your family keeps "jail shoes" for you every time you get arrested so you don't have to wear those orange sandals the county provides;
7. Your daughter's life ambition is to marry a man with a really cool tatoo.
