    If you don’t want to get poked by a fuckin needle, maybe you shouldn’t handcuff a guy illegally and not even ask him if he has needles. Maybe show more care when handling a drug addict? It’s your fuckin job, and you deserve to catch whatever he’s got!

      He was not illegally detailed. The police viewed him as a threat and they are allowed to detain people they deem dangerous by their discretion.

      “Law enforcement can handcuff you when they perceive your behavior as a threat to their safety. The criteria here is not rigid. It’s impossible to anticipate every possible situation when handcuffs would be necessary or advantageous. You can bet that any verbal or physical threat toward an officer will result in handcuffs at the very least.”

      That clause right there bud – read up on it. The cops have more power than your social studies teacher would have you believe.

      You are 100% right in stating that the cop should have asked if he had any sharps on him or not before searching his pockets.

    The bleeps to protect sensitive virgin ears from the extremely harmful effects bad words makes it impossible to tell what the fuck they are even talking about.

    Always, ALWAYS ask a perp if he or she has any sharps in his or her possession. Ask if you’re gonna get stuck if you stick your hand into his or her pocket. SOP!

    What cops in the US are missing is professionalism and simple morals. You should not do the things these guys do or talk to people this way. I see it time and time again and I’ve had it happen to me in person. The talk to us like we are second class citizens.
