The cops of New Garden Township are real A-holes,even when it comes to getting a speeding ticket,and i gurantee that some of these were illegal searches. I have a friend who the cops know fairly well because of hearing their name and knowing their family. One officer in Particular illegally pulls this person over anytime hes see his car,then searches this person and their car with absolutely no propbable cause. I think they are trying to meet quota for the year…I just have a hard time taking the police seriously when they aren’t doing their jobs in the proper fashion that they should be.
I agree, I had to deal with these clowns myself on a few occasions and they can be total tool bags. Their police practices are shady and illegal, to say the least.
