Walt Longmire Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Our Trooper Motto was "Loyalty Integrity Courage" but some marketing company has suggested "Guardians of the 49th" New paint schemes also. Oh well. I guess either one is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I had the most contact with MN HP when I was in school. I would get a "bug" and start hitchhiking around the state on non-school days. I would at some time, invariably be picked up by MN HP. they would ask where I was going, give me a lecture on staying safe, and drop me off as close to where I wanted as they could. Every single one was professional and courteous and made me proud to be a Minnesotan. Later in life, I had very little contact, but when I did they made me proud, just like in the past. I can't say I ever had a bad interaction with a police officer anywhere, including locals. They were all polite to me and professional, anywhere in the country. Now you know how I came about my bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work in Phoenix and live in Prescott Valley and commuted up the 17 every day. 150 miles a day. I've seen just about every kind of local, state, and federal vehicle in Arizona. The coolest ones were a group of three blacked out Suburbans with hidden strobes going by in the fast lane at well over 80mph, headed North on I-17. Instead of license plates, they had polished stainless steel plates with some sort of raised rectangle in the middle that looked like it was a solar cell or something. Weirdest thing I've ever seen going by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have tested just about every vehicle possible over the years before anyone else. Michigan State Police spend about 50% of their time helping people, actual good work. Stranded motorists, change tires for folks, all sorts of stuff. More than 1/2 the time I saw MSP Officers, they were helping people. I've lived in Virginia 6 or 7 years now. I've never seen a VSP Officer doing anything other than writing a ticket, or waiting to write a ticket. Be warned; Virginia is the worst place in the country to speed. Just visit some other state, this place is a ****-hole through and through. Edited September 4, 2018 by M&P15T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this area they are all about generating revenue, that is all they do. We sat and watched an old lady wait with a flat tire for 45 minutes while the road pirate ticketed 5 people and didn't even get behind the tow truck to deflect traffic once it arrived to change her tire. Do you know why MI has handgun registration? Do you know why you can not have tinted windows on your car in MI? The answer is the MSP? If you get bored look into the lawsuits Michigan Open Carry has filed against the MSP, that is kind of funny for those claiming the MSP are good people.

The state relaxed the registration rules a few years ago to where you can now just drop off or mail paper work in, but its still registration. MSP pays a couple troopers to be lobbyist in Lansing, which is why everything here is so screwed up. Everybody knows that anything gun related, if the MSP isn't neutral it won't happen.
