Why do the Metro Police have arrogant attitudes toward motorists? Not all Metro Police are conceited, and there are law abiding officers who perform their duties with respect. It is all about respect for others. A driver was harassed this morning by a Metro Officer, and it would appear that the treatment received was unnecessary. It is outright rudeness and intimidation. Here is the story.
Just had the most unnecessary altercation with the Metro Police. Upon turning onto NASREC Road, just off the M1 south, I experienced something I did not expect. I had a metro cop by the name of B.Musi 49512KY9 savagely attack and forcefully remove a number plate from the vehicle which I was traveling in. This lady blatantly refused to explain what the exact nature of the infringement was and how the license plate did not comply. She just hacked off the plate with a screwdriver scratching the body paint and used several intimidation tactics (raising her hand towards my face – as though preparing to strike me) guys come on if something is wrong are these officers not meant to explain the issue first then issue a fine along with remedial action? As oppose to scaring road users into submission and acting like thugs in uniform?? Attached is the officers picture. I don’t feel it’s right for people in uniform to treat us like garbage and speak to us as they wish all because “they know the law.”
Given there are many Neanderthals on the road who deserve a stern hand but what happened to common courtesy and general respect? Such behavior cannot be tolerated all because people carry guns and threaten to lock us up for asking WHY?
