about two weeks ago, i came in to work after a few days off to fins out that i had a complaint filed against me and my graveyard partner. the woman alleged that we had been extremely rude and discourteous.
a brief synopsis;
i paced her at 90 mph in a 65 in slightly foggy conditions. i make contact and she explains that her daughter's friend calle her stating her daughter was possibly going to committ suicide and she was driving fast to go find her daughter. i asked if she knew where her daughter was and she said no. i asked if i could call the local PD of the town she thought she was at, in order to stop her. she said no. she kept picking up her cell phone to call her husband and i politely asked her not to..... and she was, in fact, the one who was being very rude and saying "not so nice" things to us. eventually, i cited her for 90 in a 65.
she called and filed a complaint with my sgt. when i came back from days off, my sgt called us both in and explained the situation. My partner, whips out his digital recorder and says, "i got the whole stop here sarge!" sgt listens to it, we are exhonerated. i could have kissed my partner for recording it.
i went out a week later and dropped $150 on a digital recorder with a USB hook up and a computer program to store the files. it is nice and slim to fit in a shirt pocket, lightweight, and hardly noticeable.
i cannot recommend these more. especially out here in California where people think we as cops are supposed to be really nice to them and show THEM respect, and let them do whatever they want and walk all over us. if you even sound like you dont care about their problems, or you have to raise your voice because they arent listening, they call and complain. i am very happy with this puchase, especially at tax time when it gets written off.
