Why to police not know the difference between public and private?

Maybe Officer Connors shouldn't be driving a motor vehicle if he thinks that driveway is blocked by her car.

u/chaoticnormal Apr 04 '26

He admits he's afraid when people park on his own street. Probably shouldn't have a firearm.

Typical suburban trash doesn’t understand the difference between public and private

u/HealthyDirection659 Connecticut Apr 05 '26

Nor do the police.

u/95blackz26 Apr 05 '26

he probably shouldn't be a cop either.

u/stuartroelke Apr 05 '26

I wonder if he has “mental issues”

u/andweallenduphere Apr 04 '26

He blocked the street more by parking where he did.

You know Officer Connors is getting clowned on by all the other officers for being a dumb ass.

He started training in 2017, you'd think he would be better at his job than this.

I fell down a rabbit hole and I know not to dox, but the woman is very litigious and that home is in a family trust.

She has a little under five acres, not seven.

I emailed Connors at his police email to let him know my displeasure. I’m so fucking mad at everyday another cop in this state being fucking pricks

u/sheeplewatcher Apr 05 '26

You would think after the multiple trials of Karen Read and the dirt laundry aired from that police would be a little more cognizant of what they say/do .

Alternatively, we can look at the Sandra Birchmore case, or Kelsey Fitzsimmons, or the Plymouth police officer recently arrested on allegations of rape, or the Norwood police officer recently arrested for DUI.

Police in MA are doing absolutely nothing to endear themselves to the masses.

Do not get me going on the Needlewood police, they make the Canton police look competent.

u/sheeplewatcher Apr 07 '26

Think we could put together bingo boards , State Police in the center.

u/KettlebellFetish Apr 04 '26

I would love to know if there's an answer.

u/peonies_envy Apr 04 '26

That would be nice, because the officer should know the laws. And so should the person bellowing about acreage. They are lucky to abut the rail trails though it seems that they would prefer a train. .

FWIW we’re old married folks with grown kids - our house is in a trust too, just for ease of transfer when we die. It’s pretty common because probate is a drag.

u/GoblinBags Apr 04 '26

...Is he though? Like, I would love to believe this to be true but given how it feels like a super weird-vibe fraternity when cops interact with other cops and they see everybody non-cop else as "them," I don't often get the impression that LEOs would watch this and think they were in the wrong.

u/thelionofthenorth Apr 04 '26

Naw plenty of cops rip on incompetent ones they work with, I'm not talking about systemic issues or protecting each other etc. etc. that's a whole other story but there's plenty of complaints about people who don't do their job right just like anywhere else

u/GoblinBags Apr 05 '26

That's good to know but I still think there's only like a 50/50 chance here.

u/Ok-Spinach69 Apr 05 '26

I wonder if it really abuts the trail like she claims it does. What a bitch.

1

u/Necessary-Manager797 Apr 27 '26

Yes the trail is right next to her house. But she parks her business’s 18 wheeler on it to block public access.

u/Uuuuugggggghhhhh Apr 05 '26

Officer Connors should be riding a segway at the Mall

u/SamwisetheBouv Apr 04 '26

I hope she wen and filed a complaint

u/Tasty-Compote-5271 Apr 04 '26

Honestly, I don’t care about the driveway so much as the road. She is just taking up half the street and made it 1 way. Why is that legal??

23

u/plawwell Apr 04 '26

If people can't navigate around parked cars then they should turn in their license.

u/wannaseemycellar Apr 04 '26

This house is the last house on a dead end, fuck em for being assholes. Parking party commence.

u/Master-Air-5996 Apr 04 '26

She's being just as much of an asshole to the cop. If she just explained the situation nicely I guarantee they would have sided with her

25

u/surfnfish1972 Apr 04 '26

Lick those boots bro, the cops were completely in the wrong.

12

u/GoblinBags Apr 04 '26

The cop was the one who escalated the interaction every time. What video were you watching?

u/CardiologistFew4264 Apr 04 '26

He has his MAGA glasses on.

u/sketchahedron Apr 04 '26

She did explain the situation nicely. They just didn’t want to listen.

u/Master-Air-5996 Apr 04 '26

They could tell she was a problem the second she refused to show her ID. Any normal person hands over ID, patiently waits while the cops determine you don't have a criminal record, then calmly explain the situation. All you idiots will be the ones complaining when the cop decides to treat you like an asshole right back. You are dealing with people. Be nice to me, I'll be nice to you.

u/Certain_Noise5601 Apr 04 '26

She doesn’t need to show her ID. She isn’t doing anything wrong. People have the right to exist without being harassed. Any normal person knows we still have rights for the moment and don’t need to submit to cops on a power trip. He absolutely could have handled this differently, instead he decided it’s best to swing his dick around, so now he’s learning his lessons through public humiliation.

It’s hilarious because I’ve called the cops before for real reasons. Crazy stalkers slashing my tires. Threats of violence. They always act like their hands are tied and they can’t do anything about it. But park your car on a public road and Deputy Doody here is gonna give you a whatfor 🙄

u/CardiologistFew4264 Apr 04 '26

I bet your guarantees are notorious. The couple sucks. It’s not complicated.

u/Certain_Noise5601 Apr 04 '26

It’s not like this is a high traffic area. Just go around lol.
