No reason for the cop to be yelling at you. Good work on filing the report. If you felt like he was unreasonably yelling at you, file a complaint. It's your right. Don't back down and give up your rights just because he wears a badge. You are not his wife, dog or child, no need to yell at you.

Cops are there to serve, not to take out any issues they have on you. He should have just asked for license, registration, insurance and that is all. He didn't need to pretend to be a drill instructor, that is not his job. The PD needs to know that a problem may be starting to develop with this civil servant and he may need EAP or retraining.

FIGHT the ticket!! Who cares if you did speed. Traffic tickets are just a revenue source for the municipality. Check your state and local laws on how to properly file a response to the ticket and fight it. You will usually win if you contest it properly. Go online and find out how to fight the ticket and win. A buddy at work fights all tickets and helps people fight them and so far has won 23 out of 23 tickets.

So many people are willing to give up their rights... what a shame. Psychos with badges should not be allowed on the street.

Became irate at the beginning of the stop, or became irate after you asked for a break? Why ask for a break while he's yelling? Story sounds shaky.

Read the OP and report back officer.

This is starting to look like the OP may want to have been a little pissed, when originally starting this thread.

There are few states that allow passing on the left or right. I always ask myself if I should pass anyone on the right. It is legal to do so in Arizona. But, I think it's a bad idea to do so on a bike. Can anyone say SPLAT?!

It seems that the OP may be correcting himself by saying passed on the left, instead of the right.

Either way, if he was exceeding the speed that would get him pulled over and cited, it doesn't justify anyone acting unprofessional. But, it does deserve a citation (out here in AZ, the law reads that at 11mph above the posted limits a person can be pulled over)(most POs don't bother with someone passing them above the posted limit, out here, as long as the vehicle is not operates in a wreckless fashion while doing so, it seems).

I'm all for the wrongs being righted. That goes for unprofessional civil servants and motorcyclists with entitlement complexes. There are many of each that give their respective groups a black eye (more like a stink eye). You can only police yourself, at that end. I try not to ride like a d*ck. It keeps me from being run over.

This is a silly thread, lol. We'll never truly know what happened in the situation. The OP posted the story, obviously making it biased from the start (Not blaming him, it's just human nature whether we mean to or not). We'll never know if he acted calm and collected, whether he passed on the left or right (I've seen both on here haha), or if the officer was truly a "psycho with a badge" or just firmly laying down his opinion on the situation.

Sounds to me like the cop had a bad day and raised his voice. I've had one or two do it to me, didn't let it ruin my day. I still "earned" the speeding ticket I was given. Paid it and moved on.

If you feel as though this officer is a threat to you and others in society, be it physical or verbal, then continue your pursuit for your perceived justice. If you feel that it's not that big of a deal and it was just a bad day for both of you, I'd let it go and ride on!

So you said you passed the group and one was the cop that pulled you over. Were they going the speed limit when you passed the group? The officer pulled you over for speeding, so what is the reason for trying to get the ticket dismissed? Just because he wrote the wrong direction and then corrected it doesn't mean it should be dismissed.
