Does fear rush through your veins when...

[Matt]

you hear a police siren whizzing upto/by your house?

[TheGreatDivider]

Only when I hear gunshots from the projects first.

[Matt]

Luckily we don't have many guns here.

But the fear it still very real.

[TheGreatDivider]

I've been living here 8 years now and can now tell what type of gun and where the shot came from.

[Clockers]

you hear a police siren whizzing upto/by your house?
Yes I do feel some fear when that or something like that happens. :cool

[TheGreatDivider]

They come to the door looking for you!

[The Big Banana]

Drive by shootings are starting to become common (every month or two) around here... to be honest I usually cant tell if its a gunshot or a car backfiring (even though they sound completely different). Still frightening to think about though.

[TheGreatDivider]

A gun shot sound way different,the gunshot reverberates sound waves faster.

[The Big Banana]

Sydney, Australia. Yes, they sound different as I said. However my hearing is terrible.

[TheGreatDivider]

I can help train your hearing.

[The Big Banana]

I developed a certain level of industrial deafness. My general hearing is good enough though. Background noise is generally a problem for me though, things tend to blend in. Im fine, but thanks for the offer.

[TheGreatDivider]

It's often been said that those who don't pay enough attention to colors during their waking hours dream in black and white. So maybe you just need to train yourself to pickup specific sounds. Try training your hearing by listening to both a TV and radio at the same time, but pay closer attention to what you hear on the radio.

if its a gunshot or a car backfiring

Must be a rough neighbourhood, I haven't heard a car backfire for ages. :lol:

[Godma]

Do you mean fear of them wanting to arrest you or of trouble brewing somewhere close?

I don't really care about either. Although when I was younger - breaking the law more often - I might, for a split-second, consider the possibility of them coming for me. Then I realised I was too smooth for them to catch me. ;)

Anyway, they're just normal guys in blue/black costumes. As long as you're not wanted for armed robbery or murder, fuck 'em! (Not that I don't think they're doing a fairly honourable job).

[ArTee63]

I get that feeling when I see a police car pull in behind me in traffic. Kind of a sinking feeling in the stomach.

[Valk]

Bunch of criminals here. :lol:

[ArTee63]

As a younger lad, maybe. I'm an upstanding citizen of my community now. :P

[Valk]

To give myself some credit, its much easier to brake the law in the US then over here. Drink some beer followed by a big joint on your 18th birthday and you've already made two offences in the US. Here: None.

[Bobo]

For some reason I always feel guilty when the police is near... and I'm dating a cop chick! :lol: I will NOT go to their christmas party! :shock: :lol:

[Shane_Bos]

How weird would it be to go to a cop party. I'd feel on edge every time i said something just incase i spurted out something illegal that ive done :shock:

[Bobo]

In a more corrupt country it could be a good business opportunity, but since Finland is the least corrupt nation on this planet (click (http://us.rediff.com/money/2003/oct/07corrupt.htm)), their party is something any man should avoid! :lol:

[Valk]

No prostitution, no corruption, Finland must be a boring place. :lol: :wink:

[Spike]

I've never met a corrupt prostitute.

[Bobo]

No prostitution, no corruption, Finland must be a boring place. :lol: :wink:
Not behind the scenes! :wink:

[MagnumXL]

The fear only comes when I am stoned and I see a cop or he sees me. :puke:

[G-Spot19]

I remember this lady thinking that i stole from the gas station she worked at. She yelled at me and i yelled back i didnt take anything but a shit in their bathroom and walked out not giving a damn. She picked up the phone as i walked out. A few minutes later i had a cop behind me. He seemed to follow me everywhere i went. I was scared shitless. Then i turned of to the street where my buddy lives and he went straight on but damn was i terrified even though i knew i was innocent. Should have been used to it. With all the shit in my life, i have been around cops alot.

[Bobo]

The reason for my cop allergy is propably my gang background and some criminal shit I used to do... haven't always been the law obeying slave of the system I am today. Never got caught but not too proud of that stuff either. But people can change, right?

[Valk]

No, once a criminal always a criminal. :lol: :wink:

I dont mind you being a criminal. Keeps me on my toes. :cool

[Bobo]

I'm not a criminal! :x

[MagnumXL]

/me reports to valk.

[zwmusic]

Next headlines in The Sun: "Matt arrested when police seized his house, he's being charged of fleshlight rape".

[soserious]

Yes, yes I do stress when I see or hear Police sirens or persons.
Dunno why exactly. Just ingrained I think.
They`ve been round to mine to deal with stuff, and even to take me a long time ago.. but thats another story.
Bastards.

Hey ZW, hows it going?

[zwmusic]

I'm OK, spent Xmas on my own but had a good quiet time. Good for reflexion.

How are you my friend?

[Valk]

How are you gonna spend Newyears eve? Still without family?

[zwmusic]

I'm affraid so... but there are good things coming next year. I'm patient.

[Valk]

Join the club...But I'm glad good things are to come for you.

[Bobo]

That's good to hear, ZW! :cool

[Clockers]

Well for what it's worth hope you still have a nice new year zw. :wink:

[wern]

Cops don't scare me at all. Even when I'm in trouble for something like speeding. At the end of the day, like Godma said, they are just people in uniform. Doing their job. I feel somewhat sorry for the alienation their job involves.

[Bobo]

My weird feeling when the police is close isn't because I'd be scared of them as people, it comes from the weird guilty feeling even when I've done nothing wrong.

[zwmusic]

I'm not afraid of the "police" but i must say I don't trust a human being wearing a uniform and hiding behind the authority this uniform gives him/her.

[Valk]

Most of the time, they only catch the small, stupid criminals so I'm not afraid. :cool

Pose as a friend, work as a spy - Druglord Hades

[zwmusic]

:wink:

But what you said is the most naked truth, the police carries a degree of corruption and incompetence. I mean the police everywhere in this world.

[Bobo]

Well, in Finland that doesn't seem to be the case, I haven't heard of any corrupt cops here, never. As I said before, Finland has been found to be the least corrupt country in the world in several different studies. Well, there must be some corrupt cops in every country but then again who is 100% honest anyway?

[Valk]

I'm not.

I really like your hairdo Bobo. :lol: :lol: :wink:

[zwmusic]

Why do you guys have links under your ava?

[Valk]

Go to your Control Panel.

Choose Edit Options

Go to the Additional Information section

In the box under My Diary fill in the T-value of your diary.

You'll find the value by going to your diary and in the adress bar there will me something like t=493 at the end of the adress. Put the number in the box.

[zwmusic]

Thanks Valk.

That's very good news for you finns.

I used the regard the Metropolitan Police with the highest respect, but now I seriously doubt their competence and honesty. Not only for the fact that they brutally killed an innocent man (Jean Charles de Menezes) who had nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism (first point - incompetence), but if that wasn't enough, they lied shamefully about the circumstance of the killing. They first said that he was wearing a heavy winter coat on a warm summer's day which eventually proved to be not the case, they also claimed that he ran and vaulted the ticket barrier when called upon by the officer, that also was a lie, last and worst of all, they tempered with the CC TV evidence which was taken from Stockwell Tube Station and returned it blank, claiming that the event wasn't recorded on that day. The station manager was absolutely positive when he said that the London Underground CC TV is kept under constant maintenance and everything works. He could not believe the fact that the CC TV wasn't working at that particular moment. That's absolutely disgraceful, to say the least.

[The Big Banana]

In Australia corporate corruption is low compared to world standards, but police corruption is high. Here in NSW they clean out the cops with a royal commission every now and again but it doesnt make a huge difference.

[G-Spot19]

I dont even need to begin to hint about how corrupt our law system is.

[Clockers]

Trust us guy's' over here in the U.S it's pretty corrupt if you ask me, will it ever change in the law system, for some reason I don't think so. :cool

[G-Spot19]

Nope. All you need to get by with murder is money. ur law system basically revolves around it. Payoffs constantly.
