[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok if OP is the same person as this police officer, then the entire premise of this post is incorrect. You do not work 70 hours a week. Getting your car washed and going to the gym and commuting do not count as work. Lots of us who you mock for only working 40 hours a week actually may work more than you do.[/quote]

I’m being paid the minute I pull out of my driveway. When I go through the car wash I’m getting paid. Our shift has a paid hour for lunch and a paid hour to workout. I get overtime for court. I get overtime for additional training. I get overtime for being an instructor that teaches multiple classes across several disciplines. I get overtime as a range officer. I get 12 hours of overtime to work 8 hours roadside with DOT. Accumulating 70 hours is easy.[/quote]

Again…very, very weird flex that you are an hourly worker.  However you are equating the fact that you get paid for essentially 20+ hours per week for doing nothing more than driving to and from work as “working”…by that logic salaried workers get paid for working or doing nothing because we aren’t punching the clock.

[b]If anything it makes me think that police officers are in fact overpaid, not actually doing much real police work and a suck of my taxes.  Is that the takeaway you are trying to convey?[/b][/quote]
