Now dont be silly. LEO's always help each other. If you knew the pursuit rules you would know that SCPD doesnt assist other agencies pursuits, except if they are unable to do so alone. If the SCSO cant get it done, they please pass the torch.ligun said:But this means that SCPD can have less new hires and the Sheriff has justification for more officers.
I was into radio scanners a few years back. I actually heard a conversation in which SCPD refused assistance to the Sheriff's officers on LIE in a high speed chase. SCPD took over only after the person being chased took an exit.

They are trained to judge speed by observation.Ghost Hunter said:Ha, I wish I had the luck. I'm a cop magnet. I'm at a light
beside an office, he pulls me over. I'm pacing along with
100 other cars in traffic, he pulls me over. I park my car at
a lot, he walks up to me. In fact, I pulled up to my mailbox
to get my mail the other morning, a cop pulls up on side
of me asking, "What are you doing here?".
I tell him, "Uh... I live here and just picking up my mail."
He looks at my house for a second and says, "You live there?"
I reply, "Yes" Then there's a pause. To avoid any further
doubt, I tell him, "Would you like to see my license?"
That's when he waves me off and drives away. SMH.
I'm starting to think my mother was right when she says why
do I look so mean. I think it's just the angle my bushy
eyebrows are in. ;D
I've been pulled several times, just to be asked,
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
"Are you in a hurry? Something you need to get to?"
Basically an attempt to get me to incriminate myself. Of
course I politely respond, "No, why do you?"
They look inside my vehicle I guess to see if I had a
radar/laser detector in which I don't have and is useless.
One officer told me that I was speeding. Again, I
politely responded, "I was? What did you clock me at?"
He then dismissed it by telling me to slow down.
And for the record... I don't drive recklessly or speed
past other motorists like some lunatic. I will however
drive WITH traffic on the left lane in which normally
moves at 75mph out here in Suffolk BUT which is also
enough to get pulled over for speeding. :-/
And, if they don't need a laser on the LIE in Suffolk/
Nassau, what do they use? One Mississippi, Two
Mississippi... ?
You mean the day I had big muzzle brakes sticking
out of the back of my trunk? ;D

In court they wouldn't say it was based on assumptions. They say it was based on their training, and it works. And really? I can totally spot someone who is speeding and I'm not even trained. They give a bunch of leeway with those tickets too. They won't pull someone over for doing 60 in a 55 based on training. It's safe to say if someone gets written based on that training only, they were probably being a peckerhead, and the judge knows it.FULL METAL JACKET said:Can't write tickets based on assumptions...
You my friend are wrong. Tickets are written every day on Independent speed estimation. PO's in Suffolk County are trained and certified in Independent speed estimation with a degree of accuracy +/- 3 MPH. Don't believe me? Come out to my PCT and I'll show you.FULL METAL JACKET said:Can't write tickets based on assumptions...

Thought thats what I saidPunisher1336 said:Alot of misinformation on this one. Its simple. County Executive Levy never had a good relationship with the SCPD. Way back to when he was in the county Legislature. When he became Exec, he played smoke and mirrors to pull the SCPD off the highway and give it to the Sheriffs. The SCPD union did not support Levy when he ran for office. The only LEO union to support Levy was .............. you guessed it, the Sheriffs. And then after 48 years of patrolling the hwy, the SCPD were removed by Levy and replaced with the Sheriffs. Now that the new Exec was supported by the SCPD union, and not the Sheriffs, guess whose getting back the hwy. SCPD, obviously.
cMc214 said:The rumor mill states that the Sheriffs highly supported Steve Levy and there union was able to successfully take the highways so that they may get the overtime. Like I said though.... it is just the rumor mill so take it for what it is worth.
It's makng my head hurt. And for the record. NCPD never offered to vacate the LIE in support of SCPD.dastorm said:Lol you guys make up some good stories i cant comment but no one has said right reason. But you will see scpd and less sheriff in year or so.
Yeah they can and do....FULL METAL JACKET said:Can't write tickets based on assumptions...
