I personally had a run in with some stupid cop when I put a car on the ground. He was listening to our road channel and heard me report the mishap to the D.S. (picking up enrout from a small yard). A foamer cop! huh! I guess that Cletus promptly hopped in his little car and scurried to the scene of the accident. He asked me what was going on and I replied "what the f---- does it look like?" He asked if there was any hazmat involved and I answered NO. I then proceeded to tell him to leave the property and go to the yard office. He was on private property! He stood there for awhile and I went back to the head end. <br />I guarentee that no stupid cop will draw any bodily emissions or fluids from me without the presence of a company official, obtain the event recorder, or board my train (unless firearms are drawn). They have no right, no reason. I don't give a rip if it is CSI Miami. Answer...NO! <br />Annother occasion. Went to pick up a train on a foreign line. It was tied down, and the whistle on a trailing unit was stuck on....how, I don't know. It was like that when we arrived. Soon the cops showed up. This stupid *** climbs up on the engine. I didn't say he could come up. The hogger was trying to get to the horn cutout (90MAC) kind of a climb. This dummie cop starts pushing in buttons in the cab......Whoa! I told him that he wasn't qualified to touch anything on that loco and that we were handling it. I also told him that it is a (I think) 10,000 dollar fine and FRA violation for a non qualified individual to operate the controls of an engine, not to mention screwing with the controls while an employee is "in-between". <br />Bottom line, I don't run around trying to arrest people and cops should leave the RRing to the professionals. Cops get irate usually when asked questions about what they're doing. They don't need to question us. Leave that to the pros. There have been a few cool ones that have helped. One was willing to help me change a knuckle (I didn't need it, but, the thought was nice). Annother gave me a ride back to head end. That was cool. They respected my job and let me do it. As long as they know where their authority ends, I'm cool.
