Tyronne Poolice

I don't know whether I saw Starsky & Hutch or One Adam 12 at 6 pm. I had had a few pints watching the World Cup and was on my way to Johnny Winter in ATL.
I'm in the left lane at a stop light next to a Navigator, we pull off; now normally I don't like to put my little Honda behind an SUV but he'd been movin' pretty good so I fall in behind in the right lane. All of us (& I mean a bunch of cars) are moving along and the next thing I see is a TPD car come crashing across the medium (sic). I mean lights and up in the air and tyres spinn'n. I slowed down and thought he'd race off to some crime scene down the road. But no, that Navigator was a bad actor or his bad luck day or like in PTC his day time running lights were out and it was a courtsey stop. A word to the wise.

Hwy 74

Submitted by skyspy on Wed, 07/12/2006 - 7:24am.

Let's face it Hwy 74 is good place to catch people speeding. Most of us use it like our own personal race track. If you are going more than 10 over the speed limmit anywhere in Fayette County you will get a ticket. That's a fact. I have lived here for 14yrs. they do not give warnings here. It does not matter if it is the police or a deputy.
If you like to speed, drive drunk, or can't control your kid, this is not a good place for you to live. You will get caught. (unless you are on the cart paths in PTC, in which case you will never get caught)
Move to Atlanta those guys are too busy getting shot at to care how you are driving.

Hwy 74 fish in a barrell!

Tyrone, Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tyrone is a town in Fayette County, Georgia, United States. The population was 3,916 at the 2000 census.

In August 2005, the city of Tyrone was criticized for its growing reputation as a speed trap. Faced with a budget shortfall, the local city council lowered speed limits throughout the city in an effort to raise city revenue through increased traffic fines.

Tyrone is located at 33°28′25″N, 84°35′28″W (33.473563, -84.591229)GR1.

According to the United States Census Bureau Population in 2006 was 6,218, the town has a total area of 33.0 km² (12.8 mi²). 32.8 km² (12.6 mi²) of it is land and 0.3 km² (0.1 mi²) of it (0.86%) is water.

[edit]

the other one is funny too!

Revenue !

Submitted by G35 Dude on Tue, 07/11/2006 - 9:42pm.

The problem is that currently when a ticket is issued the issuing town gets the revenue. Thats not good. I think the money paid on these fines should go to a state agency and equally distributed back to the towns and/or counties. This would reduce the incentive to ticket people.

As far as some of these other stories about abuse ect. We as a society pay bus drivers, mailmen, ect more than our police and expect to get the cream of the crop. Don't get me wrong there are many good cops out there. But many (myself included) opted for another career because we didn't want to attempt to live on a policemans pay. The old saying is true, you do get what you pay for.

I agree! My old boyfriend was LAPD and many of my friends are NARCS and I respect them. I said at Tyrone council meeting when they were once again squandering our money on other things, like our already much overpaid, underworked top paid employees, that the police needed a raise. My thoughts, like the Marines, "a few good men".

Whta's Up with all the Tickets????

Submitted by southernboy on Mon, 07/10/2006 - 9:57am.

I've lived in the area for quite awhile and travel through Tyrone frequently. In the past month alone I have seen more cars pulled over on Hwy. 74 than in the past 2 years. I've heard someone got a ticket for 1) failure to dim lights and another guy for 2) a cracked windshield. I believe these tickets to be pure money makers for the city and would expect a courtesy warning at most. Just a word of caution to everyone driving through there. Tyrone has always had the reputation as a speed trap but this is getting ridiculous.

same thing, someone I told the story to called to say their son was given a ticket for speeding. The same afternoon I saw one hiding next to the dollar store and then another one a little further down the road. It is just a pure grab for money. On the front steps of a courty house in another county, there is a statue of a policeman helping a small boy, somehow, I don't think we will ever put up such a statue here.

When we first moved down here Tryone was known for being a giant ticket trap.

There was such an uproar over time they finally backed off.

Sounds like the til is getting empty and they need some money.

I don't hate. Just get pissed off by those posing like true Christians while passing judgement on everybody who dares to think or happen to be different (or has a pretty face like mine). Pharisees they use to call them back in the old days.
FYI, I believe in Jesus and expect his second coming anytime soon. I thirst for true justice and side with the meek and the poor. Mother Teresa, MLK and Monsignor Romero are my most admired human beings.

So, save your arrogant style trying to convert me to "your" type of Christianism that excludes almost everybody but yourself and the very few who think they will be alone in Heaven (Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Creflo and the like)

Yeah...You hate. You've proved it over the two dozen or so posts you've graced us with. I'm not judging you buddy. I'm just calling it like it is. For your benefit I will modify my earlier statement about you being a Christian hater.

You are a hater of anyone who does not share your version of Christianity. Does your version of Christianity condone your wanting to attend services at a mosque as you purport? How many gods do you have? I'm not judging you cause I have plenty of faults myself. But you said it and I'm a seeker. So enlighten and teach me.

Yes, you are judging

Submitted by DragNet on Mon, 07/10/2006 - 9:59pm.

Christ reached out to those different than him, the Samaritans, the gentile Greeks, and so on. He would have done the same with the Muslims, in order to open ways of understanding to present His message.
Read my blog, I suggeted attending the Mosque to build bridges with the Aga Khan community. You and Private PeeTeeCee dismissed them from the start. I cannot picyure Christ dismissing people, except the Pharisees, to which you belong.

One more thing, I will not pretend to enlighten nor teach you. Keep seeking, and you will find.

Oh and does not Christ reject those that reject him?

What is Not Said

Submitted by PTC Guy on Tue, 07/11/2006 - 7:50am.

He is a hypocrite.

His version of Christianity is the liberal Catholic version that embraces all relgions as equally from God.

So, when he says Christ reached out to all, he does not mean to get them to change to God's will and revelation. Or be in agreement with the Bible. He means Christ embraced them and their relgions as all worshipping his god, which is not the God or Christ of the Bible.

And the Second Coming. Yep, Biblical Christians are looking for the Rapture.

But smilie isn't looking for a Rapture, he is looking for Christ to come and purge the earth of evil, which includes Biblical Christians.

The Bible has a name for the Christ he is looking for. The Anti-Christ.

Hey smilie, did Christ say all religions embrace God or that he was the ONLY way to Heaven? That any holy book was okay or only what the prophets, he and the apostles laid down was right?

Since you claim to be a Christian, those are fair question.

No. I reject Dollar's WoF and Robertson's Dominionism as much as I reject your Catholic teaching we are in the Millennial Kingdom now with Christ ruling from Heaven and the Pope ruling on the earth.

You seem to ebrace everything as okay, which means you in fact embrace nothing. All shades of gray and to not only tolerated, but embraced. Except for those who stand for something, of course.

Git Real, such can only babble. To say something worthwhile means yo have to ebrace somethings as true and somethings as false. He rejects that thinking.

Good Cop, Bad Cop

Submitted by muddle on Mon, 07/10/2006 - 6:15am.

My dad was a career cop when I was growing up, and was even a detective on the Vice Squad of a South Florida PD. (This made things interesting when I picked up a particular 5-leaved "vice" myself during my teens!) I knew and liked most of his cop buddies. They were mostly really good guys with a lot of integrity. (In fact, I've been back in touch with these now retired cops since my dad died.)

Police work is a noble and necessary job in our society. The good cops who do it with integrity should be rewarded with excellent compensation and the express gratitude of the community.

Unfortunately, the job does not only attract guys like my dad's buddies. It is also a position where the guy on a power trip can misuse the authority with which he has been entrusted. In the smaller towns that are less competitive with their pay, etc., a guy is on the force typically for one of two reasons: either he is very dedicated to the community and wants to be on the front line of protection or he wasn't good enough to get on someplace else. Watch out for the latter.

Author Bill Bryson tells about pulling up to a stop light in Mississippi next to a cop who "began looking at me with that sort of casual disdain you often get when you give a dangerously stupid person a gun and a squad car."

My two sons encountered a dangerously stupid cop several years ago. Here's my story. Just the facts, ma'am.

At the time, my sons were ages 25 and 22. Both had been at my house rather late because that was the day their sister had come home from the hospital with her first baby. They were celebrating the birth of their new nephew. No drinking was a factor, by the way.

When it was time to leave, they took separate cars and planned to meet at my younger son's home. Here's the extent of their wrongdoing: they took separate routes and "raced" to see who would get there first.

The older of the two turned onto his brother's street first, and was spotted by a cop who was coming from the opposite direction. Though there was no radar, he determined that my son was speeding. (He likely was, though not recklessly so. The speed limit was 25 there because it was a school zone. It was also 2 a.m.) But before he could get underway to pull him over, my son was at his brother's driveway and had turned in. He was out of the car, waiting for his brother when the cop pulled in behind him with his light flashing.

The cop was immediately out of the car, holster unsnapped, and screaming, "Get back in the car! Get back in the car!"

Now, it isn't that my peace-loving musician son wished to be non-compliant with an officer of the law, but he was bewildered by the cop's sudden hostile and antagonistic behavior. He tried to tell him, "It's OK. The reason I'm out of the car is that I've arrived at my brother's house." He did turn out to be armed and dangerous, though: he was carrying a guitar pick.

I'm betting that the cop interpreted the sudden turn into the dark driveway as an evasive maneuver. Whatever he was thinking, he was not listening to my son and was growing angrier and louder.

Meanwhile, my younger son had pulled in just behind the cop car with its flashing light. He walked up from behind and told the cop, "You don't need to be out here screaming like this."

It all happened fast from here. The cop turns on him, spins him around, handcuffs him behind his back, and arrests him for "obstructing an officer." He stuck him in the back of the cop car. My son protested that his 6-month-old baby was in a car seat in the back of his car. The cop was not listening.

At this, the older son said to his brother, "Don't worry J-, I'll go get A-" (his wife, who was asleep in the house). He headed a few steps over to ring the doorbell and wake up his sister-in-law. (Now I wonder why, with a 6-month-old baby in the car, it might have occurred to him that it would be a good idea to get the mom out there.)

The officer "gave chase," caught him by the shirt collar, turned him around, and sprayed him point blank in the face with a hefty burst of pepper spray. Then he pushed him to the ground, knee in his back, and handcuffed him. This took place right next to the front door of the home.

Meanwhile, my son had managed to ring the doorbell, which had roused the sister-in-law. She stepped right into the cloud of pepper spray that had not yet dissipated. The result was that she became violently ill.

The cop also managed to get some of the pepper spray over to the 6-month-old baby who was asleep in the back of the car just adjacent to the front steps. He began hacking and wheezing.

Both sons were taken to the local jail. Both were charged with obstructing an officer. The older was charged with speeding.

I was roused by a phone call from my frantic daughter-in-law. I went into the police station where I saw my sons handcuffed to a bench next to the open door.). The older one was soaking wet and cold (it was a night in April). This is another story: my son begged the cop for water to flush out his eyes from the pepper spray. He refused. The first backup cop to arrive on the scene literally *ran* for the hose to help out. Good cop, bad cop.

I was immediately on the offensive when I came in to the station. I know my sons well enough to know that neither has a violent bone in his body. Nothing that they would have done would have merited the btreatment that they had received. I pointed this out. The cop's reply: "It was just like a situation that happened recently in Lawrenceville where an officer was shot. I feared for my life."

I bailed them out with cash that night.

Several interesting things happened later. For one, the videotape from the squad car miraculously disappeared, with the result that it was the cop's word against that of my sons. Two, the cop falsified his report, saying that he was *following* my son when he pulled him over. He had good reason to do this. Where he actually was, coming from the opposite direction, it was physically impossible for him to have determined with any accuracy the rate at which my son was traveling, because there was a hard S-turn obstructed by trees and shrubs. The speeding charge was the probable cause that got the whole mess started.

Turns out that this cop had a history of roughing people up. Not long before that, he had stopped a fellow for something and wound up *slapping* the guy repeatedly. The guy's response, "You take off that gun and badge and then see if you can get away with slapping me like that." The cop obliged and subsequently had the crap beat out of him. He wound up arresting his "assailant." It went to court. The judge threw it out saying, "Any reasonable man would have done exactly what this defendant did." (I know this because my sons' attorney also represented the other guy.)

The incident with my boys was the last straw, apparently. The municipality fired the cop.

He went to another small burg in the area, but wound up being kicked off that force when he got a DUI in another county and failed to report it. (In fact, when he was arrested he was hostile towards the arresting officer and was caught on tape bragging that he would get out of it because he knew exactly how to sway a jury in his favor. That videotape did *not* disappear!)

For whatever reason, the DA dismissed the charge against my younger son. But they tried to make the charges against the pepper-spray victim stick. We were in and out of the courts for nearly four years before they finally threw it out.

This cop was one of those sporting the haircut that makes him look like a cast member in Blackhawk Down--a military wannabe. These are the ones--especially in the outlying towns--that I find intimidating. He was probably bagging groceries for a living when he finally got the call to be a cop. One day it was, "May I carry your bags to the car, Mrs. Johnson?" Next day, "Alright, Mrs. Johnson, hands on your head, feet back and spread 'em. Now!"

good cop - bad cop

Submitted by did not know on Mon, 07/10/2006 - 8:17am.

Thanks for sharing your story. I feel the same as you, that there are good and bad cops and I think I know the reason it turned into such a mess for one of your sons. When all this happened, we got a lawyer and told the kids the system was good and they would have their day in court and get to tell the truth. Meanwhile, I called a "good cop" friend of mine who has made some very high profile drug bust around Atlanta. She said that unless the policeman was drooling on the witness stand, the judge was gonna side with the policeman. The reason being, if the courts didn't uphold the police, there would be far less of them. That a policeman's word was 'suppose' to be his bond. She told me not to be dissapointed at the results. I, however, thought the whole thing so bizarre, that the judge would have to find for the children and find a nice way to let the police off without looking like complete fools. The judge did just what Kathy said, and sided with the police, that a 300 lb man and a heavy tobaco user, out ran a 12 year old distance runner. The children were hurt and the parents stunned, but that is the way of the world. It has had a really bad effect on the children because now they have a very bad impression of police and the system. I hate it cause a lot of my friends are Narcs and they are good people, but again, they wouldn't be caught dead doing what these guys did. I agree with everything you said about good cop-bad cop. It is just so hard when our children are swept up in it. I will say, your boys, and our children are very lucky we took up for them. After this all happened, I couldn't help but think about the kids out there that had no one, and for these very reasons, may get caught up in the system.

I understand the interest. Maybe it would be OK, but there was a civil suit against the municipality and the officer that only recently "fizzled." (The city attorney did a great job of making my sons look like a couple of money-grubbing pansies. The city wound up paying a mere pittance into a trust fund for my grandson who was mildly pepper-sprayed. My sons' attorney advised dropping the case after over four years.)

It wasn't in Fayette county or Clayton. And it wasn't Palmetto or Union City. Does that help?

Tyronne Poolice and me

Submitted by did not know on Sun, 07/09/2006 - 5:45am.

was not so lucky. I have the story no one can topp! One gets behind me, goes 2 reds light & stop sign with me, pulls me over blue lights n all. I ask what is wrong, wont tell me, takes my license runs it, calls for backup, (I am a small 50-60 female). Then demands I get out of the car n come to the back. In the middle of all this he finally tells me I have a tail light out. Ask if I have any outstanding tickets n I tell him no. These two bad boys then had my car towed, hancuff me, and take me to jail. On the way I tell him over n over I had recent tickets in another county for a 5 year dl that expired, along with a tag. I tell him it was an honest mistake which ahd been taken care of the next week, then went before judge who reduced fines, I paid tickets n had been driving around happy as a clamm.
It cost me $800.00 give or take to get out of jail that night, and $180.00 give or take to get car from pound. I still have to go to court and I am sure Tyrone will goose some more money out of me. It seems that the police officer in another county who gave me the tickets, knew it was an honest mistake and didn't haul me off to jail or shoot me. The judge in the other county didn't have me beheaded, in fact he reduced the fines! Only here. My real crime it turns out, was that after paying everything in court you are suppose to go downtown ATL or over to Conyors and pay a reistatement fee. I didn't realise this. I had to go to 3 different windows at the DMV in Conyors. I told all 3 people the story. All 3, independent of each other told me the same thing. This happens all the time! That when NORMAL police pull you over, they can put you in jail, but that no one ever does. That they know it is a mistake, they can see you paid the tickets and tell you to go to Conyer and pay the additional $35.00 reinstatement. That is what good normal police do, that is not what happend to me. But they made a bundle for Tyrone that night and that is all the powers that be cared about. In my mind, it is nothing but a legal way to steal and serves no good to the people who live here. The nice thing todo would have been to give me a warning and let me go pay the $35.00, but, that would not have made any money for Tyrone. I might also add, when I called down to the Tyrone police dept Monday to find out what to do, as I had never in my life had anything like this happen. I was not given the correct info by the man I talked to and had to get it from the DMV. This was all mean spirtied and they really seemed ot enjoy it. It makes me sick my tax dollars go for this kind of treatment.

Missing Information...

Submitted by MWF on Tue, 07/11/2006 - 9:51pm.

If you got tickets for expired license and expired tag, that would not even be sent to the DMV unless you failed to take care of the tickets before or on the court date. In that instance, a form would be sent to DMV and they would send you a notice that your license was going to be suspended and giving you a deadline to go to Conyers and have your license reinstated. If you have not bothered to keep your address updated on your license, you may not have received the notice, which would be a mistake on your part. You must have missed your original court date and that is why your license was suspended. When the officer pulled you over for the tail light and ran your license, it apparently came back as being a suspended license and it is standard procedure in Georgia to tow the car and arrest the driver for this offense.

It was unbelievable, but so has other encounters I have had with them. I am one of the parents of the 12 year old children they chased through the swamp last summer, for going into the a pool we have a membership to.
This is a doozzy of a story, but here goes. Our pool never opens the same day of the year. The day prior to the great chase, myself and the children saw other children at the pool, I promised I would take them the next day. The next afternoon they went down a little before me. When I got there, all I can say is I haven't seen anything like that since a prison break at Angola and the convicts pursued through a deadly swamp outside New Orleans! Out of the swamp behind our pool, appears 2 bloody, frighten children being held onto by 2 police with their billy clubs pulled! They then told me they were taking these 2 hard core criminals to "juvi" as they put it. For what? It seems the woman who lives next to the pool, saw the children and ran down the hill screaming at the top of her lungs to get out of the pool. Being nonconfrontational and scared, they ran. She chased them into the swamp and then called the police on them. The police arrive, see nothing wrong, proceed to chase these already frighten children in a dangerous swamp! Real smart! The children, not knowing the police have been called and already deep in swamp, just see a dark man, like the woman's hispanic husband or their hispanic workers, chasing them. It seems these crimeless children were going to "juvi" for obstruction of justice! Asked how could that be? I was told because they ran and Rambo and friend had to chase them! My son runs the 2 mile and the policeman in question is one of them that has a cudd in his bottom lip, or a cigerate, at all times. If you believe the policeman's version, he caught up with them and made them surrender. If you belive the chilren, they just saw a dark man,(like the woman's husband}, dressed in black and started running again, stopped, as they were outrunning him and had time to look back, saw it was a policeman, and walked up to him. Why were the police so mad that they would try to take the kids to 'juvi'? Maybe cause they looked stupid for chasing them? instead of trying to walk and call the children who were in a dangerous place to come out for their own saftey? Needless to say 'juvi' refused to take them and the police stuck to their story, that an almost 300 lb policeman and a heavy tobaco user out ran them, and oh yes, the billy clubs drawn? that was just to swat the flies and branches out of the way! we had to get a lawyer and go to court. My child will never look at a policeman the same way again. That being, as someone he could trust or respect.
Why am I telling this? I am sick to death of them! First my kid, then me, we don't need this. I am disgused beyond words!

I now believe that everything you hear

from the police about children here is not true from first hand experience. My child got a very serious and sometimes deadly and ...recurring...infection in both feet as the mud in the swamp sucked his shoes off and he was running through the muck bare footed with cut feet. I would be scared to death for my child to be left alone with these people, much less in an emergency need their help. Want to hear the real kicker? A year or so ago, I was the one standing in front of the town council saying the police needed a raise because they protect us! You can find my picture in the dictionary - right next to the word -sucker!

What a piece of work

I can think of a few other words your name may be next to. Keep your kids restrained and pay your tickets, then we don't have to hear you cry.
