Florida Cops

[Ms.Stepford]

I learned to be scared of cops when six of them jumped me and broke my kneecap arresting me a couple (maybe few) years ago.

I mean, yes, I was standing in the street in my panties throwing ridiculous insults at them, but still, six cops are not required to arrest me.

These days I just play blonde as fuck when I deal with them.

Hmmm judging from these posts it seems our law enforcement officers seem to confuse Respect with Fear

And all too often get away with it

now I could point to a certain long running thread on the topic but nah that would just be my own mind playing paranoid tricks on me the police are always just acting in our best interest otherwise why would they put "protect and serve" on their cars? *can you taste the sarcasm?*

then again

Stop Children What's That Sound...:

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away

legit or not... speaking as a florida resident... cops here are turds and pigheaded. best to keep your mouth shut and speak only when spoken to.

I teach my kids to steer clear of LEP. No good comes out of talking to or otherwise interacting with cops.

I Disagree with the last bit. But then I haven't had any comings or interaction with US Police.

Ones in the UK are mostly always helpful, and will help you, if you require directions etc. Although most the time seem useless with dealing with things, such as Anti-Social behaviour, Use of Mini Motorbikes on the Road/ Pavements which is illegal.

In curious of your definition of "sassy" something along the lines of "oh hush your mouth!" ? For the record Ive never had much luck with sassy and the police either. Go figure!

it's unfortunate that many trans people are treated poorly on the state level - its really barbaric the way some people behave. Nonetheless the Obama administration has made many improvements on the federal level for trans equality, which I would hope would be a paving stone for the rest of the country to follow, the TSA and passport office alone leads a good example on the treatment with trans people and they understand to be discrete in how they ask questions and using proper pronouns.

Do most Tgirls ask for individual screening at airports? If someone will educate me: am I correct in understanding that some states are allowing you to change gender on your DL and birth certificate without SRS?

If so how does that work if your License or passport says female but you have a penis going through the phone booth thing

What is it like traveling in foreign countries

Y'know, when I'm well-behaved, I've had good interactions with some, mostly the younger ones who haven't become too cynical. You can tell them by the shiny new body armor and super white nametapes

A few weeks ago we had some come by the house, and I could tell the new guys because they were the ones actually listening to me and looking at me like a person instead of a suspect. This one really good looking tall black officer seemed sympathetic, but he wasn't the official, like, officer taking the call, so it didn't matter. This other skinny kid was actually taking notes in a little notebook.

The other four officers were pretty much cookie cutter blue curtain, putting on the Oakley gloves for intimidation, pissed off I wouldn't tell them where my friend whom they actually got the call about was. I have this nice way of completely ignoring people while looking right at them so they're not sure if they actually said their last sentence out loud.

This time they just gave me a $75 ticket for "loud noise", which I've requested a hearing for, because a.) It was before the eleven o' clock noise ordinance started and they certainly don't come for the construction across the street that's taking forever or the asshole who mows his lawn with a weed whacker at seven in the morning b.) He got my zipcode wrong (how the fuck are these guys gonna stick me for my weekly meat budget without knowing what hood they're in?) c.) He wrote the date as September. I was in the military and we were held to some pretty strict standards. I don't think I should expect less of my civil servants.

I'm actually probably just gonna pay that at the hearing, though. If I'd woken up sober, I probably wouldn't have marched that ticket down to city hall first thing in the morning. I'm not trying to get them too interested in me because the last person I want to meet is a vice detective. I think they tend to be disinterested in TS escorts though (especially, I hate to say it, white ones) because they'd just rather not deal with us, and we're a logistical bitch in lockup.

I have this pet daydream that whomever they have looking at bp ads thinks I seem like a sweetheart, and wishes nothing but the best for me.
