Worrisome Police Officer Need's Your Advice by kolomax(m): 11:21pm On Jan 07, 2014 |
this is someone story not me..ooo lol i am a police officer. I want to ask you a simple question. This happened to me one day on a checkpoint. I was on duty, performing the usual stop and search operation. I stopped a fairly-tinted Toyota Camry and ordered the occupant out. The driver introduced himself as a medical doctor and said the lady with him was his wife. I asked him if I could see his car boot. He started abusing me and even threatened to call my superior officer and say that I was harrassing him. After much argument, the man opened the trunk. I searched the boot and found two sacks of indian hemp and some cocaine there. By then, my superior was already at the scene. Immediately after I made the discovery, the young man started pleading with me, offering us some money if we cover the matter. We refused and took him straight to the state Criminal Investigation Department, so that he would be investigated and prosecuted. His wife was later released, as the suspect confessed she had nothing to do with the drugs in the car. The problem is that he was sacked from work, and his wife and children are now going through hardship to survive. She calls my commander almost every day asking for help. I know I did the right thing as a police officer. But I am disturbed because I see what his wife and children are going through. Sometimes, people (and even my fellow policemen) tell me that I am a bad person, that I should have accepted the money to save his career and family. I don't even know what to think. Do you think my action was right? Thank you |

Yes. Do you know how many families have been rendered useless due to drug use of the benefactor or even murder of a family member by a drug-addict armed robber? If he was a doctor, he should have been okay with what God has provided for him. |
