Polk County Sheriff’s Office

Now that I live in a large city, it’s funny to think back on the time I spent in polk county. The way I got pulled over for every minor infraction, searched, harassed for riding my bike on the sidewalk even though there were no bike lanes. I didn’t live in Polk county for very long, but that’s where I received every speeding ticket I’ve ever gotten. I literally go one for going 9 miles over the limit on I5 on a sunny day with no traffic, that’s how ridiculous this department is.
It gets worse. I used to own a house in Independence, I was hosting a BBQ on a saturday night, somehow we got a noise complaint. The officer who responded opened my gate and walked into my yard, started Carding my guests, when we asked him if that was legal (Its not) He told us he could search the entire house if he wanted to. We all complied to get him to leave, and eventually he did. But that’s who these people are, that’s what this department is. It’s a nasty group of power crazy animals who will make money off of you any way they can. At least thats what it was when I lived there 5 years ago.
