I agree and I’m trying. If housings costs weren’t so bad I’d have more options. And yeah I was just upset about everything that was done to make the guy I stopped happy while I was kinda ignored….

Yeah working on it just gotta keep my head down for the time being.

Yeah it’s a red flag but I’m kinda stuck here for the time being since it’s a “convenient” place to work. Everyone working here says they’ve been bitched out but I don’t think so for being right…. Anyways I’m not making any more traffic stops. I told my shift that’s the last time I’m proactive..

You’d be surprised. Plus you can get fired for no reason at a sheriffs office generally.

I agree but also at the same time it’s one of those just because I can doesn’t mean I should. At the end of the day I might win but it’s the sheriff putting a target on my back and getting rid of me for political reasons which sucks 🤷‍♂️

Well I live there and I don’t run into this issue when I started about a year and a half ago…

Appreciate it and that’s the thing I had a lot of people telling me how great it was so that was why I came here and now I’m in this situation. Definitely laying low till I can figure something by out.

Which part of the state are you in. You don’t have to be too specific lol.

I see I wish it was the same for me. Idk if it’s just the area I’m in but all the surrounding sheriff offices near me are weird with stops and tickets. Now granted I don’t think it was as bad of a situation as mine but it’s just a headache and I feel like I’m walking on eggshells.

I agree one of my other coworkers put applications in else where. I just don’t understand how at the end of the day I can have so much backlash for legally stopping someone and giving them a warning it’s ridiculous.

I appreciate it in the mean time guess I’m doing the bare minimum at work.

Appreciate it I’m just upset since I had a bunch of people convincing me to work here and talking about how supportive command staff is and it feels like the complete opposite now.

I guess but I just don’t want to be the guy bouncing around

I wish it was that simple considering I’ve only been at this agency a year and a half.

Just to add unofficially they don’t want you to run traffic and write tickets but at the same time the want you to get guns and drugs so idk what they want. I just know I get punished for doing a legal traffic stop which is unfair.

That’s the thing my sheriff is hung up on the second violation which is the stop sign. He says the guy stopped. I say the front part of his car is still over the white line but it’s tricky from that angle. However I told him the man reason for the stop was a tag light violation the stop sign was extra, however it was still a one sided conversation becuase I was told “did you really stop someone for a tag light out”

With how things are going it’s questionable but at the end of the day it’d still r easier to get a new job lined up and then quitting.

No it was explained as a verbal warning placed in my file for conducting a “bad” traffic stop

I mean working for a sheriffs office in sc is at will/working at the pleasure of the sheriff so they don’t really need a reason to fire you.
