Oh come on. It's a lil bit for the ladies not just to look good for the gangbangers.

I'm about to just have the donuts delivered to your station on the regular to test your self control LOL

Lol! It happens. Some of our units chime when the lights are on and some don't. If you're not paying attention to the switches, you can easily roll off with your rotators on. This won't happen with Code 3 lights though. That light stage is way too noticeable for someone not to know there are activated.

Another positive news story in our regional news, about a state trooper going three hours out of his way to help someone.....

Trooper aids elderly man left behind by family

March 23, 2022 5:23 am

WHITNEY POINT – A New York State Trooper is credited with helping reunite an elderly man who was left behind at a rest stop after his family drove away. The incident began on Monday at the Whitney Point rest area on I-81.

Trooper TJ Conklin was dispatched to check on the welfare of an elderly man at the Whitney Point Rest Area. Conklin responded and learned that the man’s family accidentally left him behind after he stepped out to stretch his legs. The gentleman had no wallet, no phone, and no way to reach his family.

Trooper Conklin used his internet skills to locate family members but none of the phone numbers were correct. Conklin finally got an answer from a family member in another state, who was able to make contact with the gentleman’s family members in the car.

The family had just realized that he wasn’t sleeping in the backseat where he had left his jacket over some baggage.

The man’s family had already traveled three hours away from Whitney Point. Trooper Conklin drove the gentleman to Roscoe in Sullivan County where they all had dinner at a local diner.

To put it into perspective, this is *well* beyond his patrol area:

Ppffttt. Hour and 20 minute drive. That could be a 6 mile trip to the grocery store in LA.



But it's a very nice story.

More police being disrespected and threatened, from today's regional news.....

Troopers were able to stop the vehicle and identified the operator as Lymaris Valverde. While speaking with Valverde, troopers observed that she was impaired by alcohol. They also learned that the vehicle had switched plates and had no insurance. Valverde was taken into custody. While the vehicle was being towed from the scene, Valverde stated she hoped both troopers got killed, adding that she would come to the barracks and do it herself.

While being transported to the barracks, Valverde attempted to kick out the rear driver’s side door and window. Once at the barracks in Montgomery she was processed for DWI, registering a B.A.C of .16%. Troopers also found her to be in possession of 1.3 grams of heroin. While being processed she further stated that because of bail reform she would return and “blow the trooper’s brains out”.

Man we have built a wonderful society. The American dream.

Did you see the story about the guy who tried to carjack a patrol car and the DA doesn't want to press charges? I need to google, I forget where it was. I saw it on the news the other night. I think it was MO. This world is going completely batshit crazy.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday and they talked about this new "cancel culture" and how we as a society are shifting to this acceptance, ignorance and basically coddling way of dealing with things is setting a precedence thats dangerous for uncontrollable growth of power for future generations. Essentially because of emotions, we are limiting the power of law, and removing the ability for our authorities to enforce law. I don't want to go too deep into the topic because it gets political, but it's scary when you think about it.

I haven't heard about that incident. Definitely link it if you find it.

You are spot on about emotions overruling logic. People will get what they ask for and they will suffer for it. I love telling people, "Sorry! Our hands are tied. You voted for this."

If I were to report a suspicious person at or near the vicinity of Sidecar donuts and then placed another call about another suspicious person at or near my house, do you think you could bring me some donuts?

You'd be waiting indefinitely.


When I/we hear "suspicious person" we roll our eyes and continue doing what we're doing. Lol!

At first glance, I thought that you were talking about this one. Judge let a DWI guy who assaulted a trooper while being ROR'ed walk without bail on the felony assault on a LEO charge, because he claimed that he had a college midterm in his Criminal Justice program and he needed to return to college.....

We had our local PD in here today for some safety training. I noticed his usual stealth Charger had been replaced by a marked Tahoe. I asked him if he missed the Charger and he said they were all gone. The whole PD is migrating to SUVs.

I always liked the Chargers, end of an era.

The Chargers suck. Rearward/blind spot visibility is horrible and the car is cramped. Reliability was shoddy too. I choose the SUV 100% of the time.

Never drove it or been in one but their black stealth one always looked good staked out on the on-ramp by our exit.

However, if you think those are cramped you might get a kick out of HPD's stealth Camaro's. I did get to sit in one of those and it was tight even by Camaro standards.
