I have been following a couple of threads on diffent car and motorcycle forums. The threads are about a guy who has been cheating people with fake ads and by responding to ads. In his ads he sells e.g. turbos and rims to very attractive prices. He manages to get people to pay in advance but then he doesn´t send the items since he doesn´t have them.

I don´t have any idea of how many people he has cheated or the amount of money but my guessing is that it must be 6 digit sum. He has been reported to the police by so many people that there is 1 person who everybody gets directed to when making a report. He is also well known by the police so the strange thing is that the police doesn´t seem to do anything. Everybody who has read the threads knows how he looks like, where he lives and a lot more.

The best thing in this story is that if someone tries to approach him to talk to him he directly calls the police and says that he´s been persued and this seems to be very important for the police to deal with. So it seems that crime does pay, you can even get police protection.

I thought that the police exists to protect and serve the citizens of the country they work in. But it´s somehow strange that private interests in the USA are more important. Chasing the people who pay they salary just because they´re downloading some files from the internet instead of buying an outdated technology from the store.

I´ll give you guys and girls a tip of what to say to a police officer if you get pulled over, but of course you must have done nothing that is very wrong. This happened to me a winter day a couple of years ago.


When you have a rear-wheel drive car and there´s snow on the ground you want to make the car go side-ways as soon as you have the chance. And as you probably guessed already the police was driving a couple of cars behind me when I made the car go side-ways. Right after I got the car going straight again I noted the flashing blue lights in the rear mirror.

I stopped at the nearest parking space and the officer got out of his car almost before he managed to bring it to halt. By the time he got to my car I hade already rolled down my window and pulled out my license. Clearly irritated that I had given him the license before he could ask for it he was walking around the car and checking my license and presenting his different ideas of how I got my license and the level of my IQ. When handing over my license to me again he said that he would keep an eye on me. Just when he was leaving I said to him that he needs to think about how he´s behaving towards people since he has a service oriented job. I have never seen someone so angry, he didn´t know what to do or say, he just stood there shaking.

Keep this in mind when you´re pulled over by an angry officer and you will get a moment to remeber for the rest of your life.

I have named this blog post part 2 because I think that I will come back to this in the future.
