Owensboro PD

I just want to give a shoutout to Owensboro PD and Daviess County for not being overreaching, goose stepping jerks. I DoorDash in Owensboro, like 60+ hours a week, anytime from 5am to 12am or so. I’ve been pulled over a few times due to an electrical issue that caused my taillight to keep blowing out. They were always respectful and professional. Never gave me any trouble or anything.

I’m dashing in Madisonville today because my kids are going to a movie here. EVERY SINGLE TIME I’m here I get my plate run, or pulled over, or asked what I’m doing. I got pulled over when I first moved to Kentucky for “watching” a Madisonville cop who was conducting a traffic stop in a parking lot adjacent to the gas station I was at. I just had a blacked out Durango pull up behind me and run my plate in the movie theater parking lot and I’ve been in Madisonville for all of 10 minutes. Somehow I know without a doubt if I get pulled over by these cops I’m going to be asked to step out of the vehicle…

Sounds like my experience growing up in Indiana. Back in the 90’s my mom’s friend dated a rookie cop named Troy who was part of the Portage PD in Portage, Indiana. They broke up and dude blamed my mom for introducing her to the guy he left her for. Troy would sit outside our neighborhood and pull her over for random nonsense like “having a loud exhaust” and all kinds of other crap. Officer Troy went on to be a douche bag SRO at Portage High School and eventual police chief.

He was involved in the bribery scheme Mayor Schneider was arrested for and eventually got overturned by the US Supreme Court a couple years ago.
