Random police stop setting record straight

Better yet, how about the audio file of the exchange or at least a transcription so we can all grab a stopwatch.

I support the RCMP and the force has done very good in the last 18 months so far as I've seen. Especially with officer disposition and friendliness in Prince Rupert. The best thing an officer can do is be vigilant yet approachable to ease relations with civvies.

The only area the RCMP needs to work is fining elderly people on fixed income for harmless, simply forgetful traffic infractions. Other than that I applaud your support of the peace and the new, friendly and long term officers of Prince Rupert.

And thank you for communicating so openly. It's really nice to see.

Who are these random police that stop setting the record straight? What are they afraid of?

Seriously, though ,we should be proud of their dedication to their job. I am glad for the job they do.

I wish I added that he was polite and professional !! the time he took my papers till the time I got them back was close to five min. I will admit to this but we had a conversation about harassment and if I felt that way I could talk to his boss on Monday this took place before I gave him my license .may be yes sir would have been the correct avenue I'm sorry it's gone this far.

I see, but, in your other post you made a huge deal out of it and said the officer detained you for 20 minutes.

This morning I was driving down by the log sort and the cop spun around hit his lights and pulled me over by adventure paving . Walked up and asked for my license and reg. I asked what's up and was told it was a random D.L. check to keep people safe . I was on my way to do a job and was detained for twenty min. Can I invoice them for the time that I will never get back ? Can they do that even ? Last week I saw they set up a road block by MacDonalds at night with out flashing safety lights, tricky but not safe!!!What's next?

So you were exaggerating quite a bit. And it is only when the officer calls you on it that you tell the truth. I really appreciate the attitude of the officer and the way he handled himself in this situation.

Is sad that the police have to defend what seems like a very routine traffic stop.
With all the cell phone cameras around today, it is impressive how few negative events are captured on video because sure as heck a large amount of the time someone has a camera pointed at them every time they do anything.

seems to me that happens a lot on this site. people complain about something and someone is always left having to defend themselves!

Case in point. Are you complaining about this site?

No not complaining about the site. i find it very useful to stay up to date. But I think its unfortunate the officer felt they had to come on and defend his work.

I am glad that the officer took time out of his day to join our site and correct misinformation that was posted. We were misled.

Hah, sorry, my fault, I was totally kidding. I should have included a smilie or something. Didn't mean any offence.

I think it's an honoured tradition on HTMF to complain about HTMF.

I also think it's great that the officer, or someone who knew about the event, posted on the site. That tells us that the RCMP actually reads the site.

Anyway, I stand by what I, and others have said about the local RCMP. They're normal people, doing a job that is often unnecessarily dangerous. It's easy enough to deal with them if you're polite and reasonable.

Agreed. I am very thankful that the RCMP do the necessary and dangerous work that they do. The officers that I have met are good people.

QFT !

In stead of charging a family for a improper seat I watched that same officer drive and get a car seat for a car loaded with kids at a road block . I have been educated and I sincerely hope you go far in your profession I'm sure you will

[w.f.m.e.]

And now I will QFT

LOL, perhaps but 24 hours too late on that call.
