Do cops make you nervous or make you feel guilty?

cops are our freind not enemy always think yourself that you are the best and most beautiful in world be always positive god have created everyone same .always think cops are for your sfety to help you they are your guard.

Yup, I feel the same too, when I see a cop riding by, or a police car behind me. Even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with my driving or my car, I'm still nervous! And I can't get rid of this feeling of mistrust or dislike of them - it's terrible when they're supposed to be protecting us, and we can't trust them!

In my place the traffic is too high and people just violate the traffic rules and the road is not good to drive any two wheeler so i hate or to be more frank i fear to drive my vechiles so i dont drive it and i know even the cops make us fear a lot so i totally quitted it , if im running outta time i call autos /call taxi for help and pay them..

LOL--not so much cops but security guards in stores. Now I KNOW I'm not doing anything wrong, yet for some reason security guards seem to follow me around..I'm talking about security guards that are "plainsclothesmen"...ones not in any kind of uniform but try to blend in and act like customers....I can spot them a mile away as they always pretend that they are "shopping"...yeah right with one of those customer basket things that remain empty. Must be something about me that makes me stand out or look suspicious in their eyes. Oh, and here's another goodie...many stores have those metal detector things...there's one Duane Reade near me and I don't know what it is (maybe all my silver jewelry??) but dang it...the alarms go off every time I'm ready to leave..had that happen to during the different court appearances I had to go to two years ago...sure enough always set off the alarms....so of course had to have one of the guards use one of those detector wands do a search on me. So I KNOW I'm innocent, yet yikes it makes me feel like a criminal or terrorist...LOL

I also assume that you will not pass a cop, even though you are doing it legally, and he is going slower than the posted speed limit. I have gotten used to not paying any attention to cops around me lol. I live with one. One of his buddies followed me the other, purely coicidental lol for probably 25 miles. They all know the car I drive, it is registered in his name, and has an identifying sticker on the back trunk deck. So they always know it's me lol. Once, one of the guys called him and asked if he still had his Mustang, he said 'yes', and then was asked 'does your girlfriend drive it?' He said 'yes, what did she do now?' Like I am always doing something wrong like speeding or something LOL He told him 'oh nothing, she was just going a bit fast' LOL So, obviously he ran the tags to see who the owner was. Just one of the little perks I am afforded.

I do not drive, but if I am out on the streets and I see the coppers I just feel so guilty. I just feel like I have committed a crime, I am sure I must have guilty of something written all over my face, yet I have done nothing! I am surprised that I have not been stopped and frisked or something before now because I look so guilty.

I get like that too when my husband is driving and I'm in the passenger seat. I don't know why but I get nervous when they are around and think they are going to pull us over too. I think the cops here in the US are a lot more scary looking than those in Samoa and NZ - their demeanor puts me right off lol

Yes, unfortunately I am scared whenever I see a cop car on the road. I've gotten more than my fair share of tickets and I alwsya think they will find something. to pull me over for. What I really hate is if they are driving right behind me. I will sometimes just turn down another road because it bugs me so much.

I think its common for all to feel this way and i know they don't like me cause of my store but i don't care and will not give in to their looks..if they stare at me i do the same back to them..I make sure i tell all that we have a right as a human being to be aware of our rights and not to give into them when they try to harrass and make people nervous..if they have to ask then you have the right to say NO...Asking means they need to do something to get into a search of your car or home..Don't ever let them make you feel that you are less a person... Sorry my 60's rebellious nature came out..love to protest..lol..

I used to feel like that when I was younger (not for any reason) - but now when I see them, they are much younger than I am and I look on them as kids.

[i]Dont feel nervous when you see a cop on the road. They are there to help you encase of emergency. As long as you are not doing anything wrong they are your friends.I really admire the Police in your country not like here in our country we cant trust them.Sometimes they are engaged in crimes and they are not worthy in their job. I did not say that all of them,but most of them.this is the fact and I really sad about our law enforcement here in the Philippines. I wish that our law enforcement here will be like in your country. So don't afraid if you saw a cop in the road okay!LOL. [/i]

I used to feel that way until I realized that they just are there to do the job and help people who are in trouble. They did helped me while I went through shock in accident, burglarized attack, and abused. Police only ticked me off because of brutally abuse other people. They did made my friend's knee bleeding because she was simply riding over bike. She did not realize that police tried stop her and thought her as a guy, so they were rough with her. So I did not feel comfortable with them for a while. Every police can be good or bad. Remember they are human.

As long as you know that you don't break a rule then there is nothing to worry about..I really don't get nervouse when I see them but the feeling that I have is safetiness..I feel safe when they are near me or something because I know I am protected if anything happens.;-0 God bless and have a nice day

street cops r good for nothing as they r always after people who do nothing wrong, harass them and ask stupid questions, but fail to catch drivers who r half drunken and break traffic rules...

I don't drive but as a passenger I do get nervous when I see a cop car stopped and the driver does not have his or her seat belt on. I think to myself "oh no! Now we are going to get stopped and the driver is gonna get a ticket."

If I'm not doing anything wrong while I am driving, then no I do not feel nervous if they are around. However I do get a little nervous if I see that they had pulled someone else over. I worry that there might be a shoot out (or whatever it is called), fight, or something else bad between cop and civilian and I want to get away from there as quickly as I can (without getting pulled over myself). This is something I would never want to see, or worse yet, be involved in.

oh yes they mae me nervous i was followed by one for over 5 miles on a back road he finnally pulled me over to tell me my tag light was out an seening my hubby an both my brother in laws are cops I shouldn't get nervous right ?

The first 3 months of my driving, I also feel nervous but it changed when an officer ordered me to stop without any apparent reason at all, all he wants was just to bribe him for some stupid charges bout my driving. I was so mad and after that I'd research on traffic violations for my future reference coz bribery here is very common especially if you really don't know anything bout the violations. So now, whenever they pull me in without any reason and accusing me for a violation, just ask this one to them "Do you really know the meaning of that violation? kindly explain it to me and tell me if I really committed that violation." lol! They just apologize to me.

I too feel kind of nervous when I see a cop while I am driving. They do not bother me any other time. Only when I am driving. I am a very careful driver but when i see a cop I will usually either pull over or turn off somewhere to avoid having them follow me even though I am doing nothing wrong. I feel silly but that is the way it is!

You know what, I am dating a cop. I am actually in a serious relationship with him. He said to me, that if a cop is behind you, do not watch him in your rear view mirror. just keep going and don't pay him any attention. He said if you watch him in your mirror, it will cause you to have uneven speed and swirve. That gives a police man a reason to pull you over for a stop. So I have tried that out a few times and it works.
