I asked him why doesn't the warning say brush instead of phone if when I was stopped I grabbed a brush not a phone. He told me it is not a big deal but it is when he is wrong. if he was going to give me a warning then it should be for the Right thing and in the RMV it doesn't say anything about another other objected when you are stopped. I can the supervisor and ask him the watch the camera and he said he didn't have time for that but the point is that if he is wrong and ticketing people for the wrong stuff he shouldn't be a police officer. there was a camera that would of caught it. I would not say anything if he was right but he was a big jerk and he was wrong. i know they are saying a warning is nothing but I don't deserve a warning for a phone if it wasn't a phone. They also refused to give me his and which is not clear on the warning which I am happy to pay $25 to appeal it because he should be more careful with his job.

I then proceeded to see the officer try intimidating me by follow me so I pulled into a parking lot where from there he then proceeded to throw his lights on and rush the the police station in a non emergency. When I asked him why he can break the law blatantly when I made an honest mistake. He then threatened to arrest me with hand on gun. Mind you I approached hands up just to talk to him and he immediately started threatening antagonizing me to start a fight so he could arrest me. Despicable! I will be filing a formal complaint for this corrupt officer. Iys guys like him that are making all police look bad. Your job is to serve and protect not to be an instigator.

Can you just give the landlord a nicely warning about how she could handle the rental situation,…read moreand made appropriate actions to refund the remaining money, or respond to the last-deal phone calls of the tenants, so they could get their last stuffs? Since when that I said my mother was legally evicted? I told you that she tried to move out first after getting threatened to be evicted every day if she did not follow orders from her older sister (landlord here). You came and kept repeating lies and makeups: "legally evicted". "If you are legally evicted, then we can't do anything about it". What is role of the police even for? So would you only come when there's severe shooting cases, serial killing and homicide situations? Giving a nice warning and good talk has been so hard for you? While we were the actual vulnerable ones who had been desperately waiting to get a response and getting our money back. We called the police to come for help, just to hear they can't do anything and the blame was ours or "we have to court"? I did not expect to you to arrest the landlord immediately? Why would you keep saying "it is a civil matter" to avoid handling the situation? Why would the ones waiting hours to get the refund back have to take the blames? Is this how justice works with you? Does justice mean when someone talks and acts nicely with pretentious polite, they will not take blame regardless of what?

I stayed at a hotel and upon returning there on the third day of my trip, I parked in, would appear to be a legal parking place. There were no signs posted, no paint on the curb, just regular concrete. When I return to my vehicle later that evening it was gone and I was informed by the hotel staff that it has been towed by the Cambridge PD. the ticket was $25 for having parked within 20 feet of an intersection, which I have never heard of in my home state of Utah, nor as I said was anything marked on the curb. The towing charges $140, not to mention the hassle that these people put me through for no reason. They could've just taken the car and I would've moved it the next morning. It was not blocking anybody. Welcome to Cambridge.

For my 800th review, I'd like to review the Portsmouth police department. They have a tough job,…read morethey have to do it with inadequate resources (just my opinion as a taxpayer), and they manage to do it with a sense of humor. A recent entry in the police log was "Responded to a Xxxxx Drive bus stop for a complaint about people drinking beer and found they were drinking coffee." Another one was "Responded to Xxxxx Drive where a woman said her child's father's new girlfriend was threatening to post naked pictures of the caller on the Internet." Really, the logs are amazing. I've seen these people deal with countless situations and they're impressive to watch. The chief is working on his PhD and regularly meets with people in various neighborhoods to see if they have any concerns. I'm pretty sure that everyone on the force is better educated than I am. Every person that I've seen is incredibly patient and caring, even with people that are just begging to be used for Taser practice (I'd obviously never make it as a cop). Really, you should see how nice they are with people that get caught at drunk driving checkpoints and are trying to talk their way out of it, slurring all the way. There was a checkpoint set up just outside my house one night and it was amazing to listen to. During this year's Halloween Parade, they managed to get fire trucks to an alarm in the heart of downtown without affecting the thousands of people who showed up and filled the street for one of the city's most incredible events. Sure, I don't agree with every law that they're required to enforce, and I think both sides could do a better job with contract negotiations, but I'm not getting caught up in the details. These men, women, and even their dogs make me glad that I live in Portsmouth.
