I don't think there's ever been a time when I've had a favorable experience with the Tallahassee Police Department... they love to write tickets. I was once involved in an accident while riding in a car with a friend. We made a call to the TPD who didn't write up a report, and didn't issue a citation to the party at fault. Meanwhile, County came out and took good care of us, and made those at fault pay. The City officer who left the scene was disiplined due to his under-motivation.

Never had a problem with the police in the area.  They have always been more than fair to me.

I wish I could say the same... as a young driver I witness several abuses to college students.

I earned myself a small charge from TPD for possession of a pipe.  They pulled me over for driving too close to the center line, and search my car.  As a younge college student in a nice car on the southside, i should've expected to be pulled over.  But the 6'10 black guy in my passanger seat helped.  They forced me to pull over in a church parking lot with a daycare, and all those kids saw me in handcuffs... it sucked.
but recenlty a sherif pulled me over, and i drove to the next parking lot. I got a warning instead of a ticket because i did not make him walk along the dangerous road or something.  it was 4am, i think it was luck, but i truly think the LCSO has this one easy.

LOL thats a fantastic guess, orange avenue before the construction detours.  It was unfortunate, but it could've been worse.  That is my side of town, i spent four years skipping school over there.  That was the first time being white did not work to my advantage...lol ;)

TPD is full of a bunch of jealous high school graduates that envy FSU students, people who are getting an education.  Most cops are cocky fools that were the guy everyone hated before they became cops.  You've all seen super troopers right?  Farva is that guy.

I see something in what you've said above, especially with regard to their treatment of local college students.

College students support all sectors of the local economy... including things the police might not like... but that Farva thing is perfect!  I know at least three of those in town.
