I was sitting in front of the Grand Ole Opry waiting to pick up a customer. An officer reached in my car and grabbed my permit. When I asked him why? He just told me to pull over and turn the car off. After I got up to him, I asked him for his badge number and name. He refused to give it to me.

I called the real police after everything happened and they said they’re doing an investigation once they find out who the officer is throughout PCA AKA internal affairs.

The officer was entirely disrespectful the entire encounter, I guess that’s to be expected from someone who makes a living acting as a parasite for the establishment. After all their very existence is made possible through the harassment of peaceful individuals who have committed no crime. And that in itself is founded in personal disrespect.

The officer had no intention of keeping an area clear for the disabled or anyone requiring assistance. After all the taxi driver claimed to have cleared his parking spot with security at the Opry. The officers only intentions were gain the mans participation in his racket, criminalizing him for his choice of parking and use his position as a police officer to remind anyone watching that his badge and gun give him the authority to interfere in their life whenever he determines necessary.

The department told the driver they will be investigating the officer and his actions. But they have about as much incentive to stop their revenue generation schemes, as they do to actually provide you protection.
