It's Just Business
Franklin , Tennessee - have you noticed Franklin Police Chief Moore is way past retirement age? Have you taken the time to ask , "Now why don't he retire?"
If you were making the money he's making under the table right now , would you want to retire? Here's an example of some of his business dealings.
Let's say , State Farm has a law suit going on and they want to cause harm to the person they put into the suit. How about lining up an auto accident? You know , make an "arrangement". These things happen all the time and the police do control the paper work. I mean like , after all , who's gonna know , right?
So , State Farm visits the police department with their accident plan. Money disappears and everyone is happy.
The "person" drives over to get some food while State Farm lies in wait. Suddenly , the accident happens and State Farm gets lots of pictures while commenting , "Oh Darn , they weren't supposed to be driving , were they?" Well , they're up Shit's Creek now , eh? And of course , Franklin Police write the MVA report , just like it was earlier agreed upon. (didn't take very long to write that report did it? They even got the names of witnesses without having to ask anyone)
Business arrangements like this are an everyday way of life for Franklin Police. You say you didn't know that? Well , now you do. Just think of it , the next time you see a wreck on the road , Franklin Police may have had a hand in it. Maybe , the next time , it's you involved in that wreck while the police look on with a $mile. Well don't be surprised about it , after all , America is for sale , right?
Think about it. "Our" Franklin Police Department is responsible for "OUR" safety on the streets. These people have sworn an oath to keep "US" safe and yet , here they are , selling "OUR" safety on the streets for a buck. Think about it , people are getting hurt on the streets , at "OUR" expense , while they get fat in the pocket. That's right boys and girls. The law in The City of Franklin is for sale. Think about it some more , your very own safety on the streets is "For Sale". Being a "Billion Dollar Monster" , State Farm has plenty of ca$h on hand. Now do you understand why Chief Moore won't step down? Just think of all those Mason jars he has buried in his back yard , at "OUR" expen$e. Makes ya wonder , don't it?
These are the same people who have written thousands of illegal tickets in the name of law enforcement. These are the same people who have also written thousands of "Hokey" tickets in the name of law enforcement. How much money will it take to satisfy their hungry soul? How many dollar$ will it take to make them happy , at "OUR" expen$e? Just how many people have to get hurt before they have enough?
Yes boys and girls , these are the same people who sit beside you in church , with a smile. (maybe that's why it's called a "PEEeeeeuuuw")
These are the same people who constantly complain about not having enough money to do their job , they don't have enough equipment to go around and there are not enough personnel on hand to fill all the shifts. And yes , these are the same people who have a brand new "Crib" , with 12,000 sq. ft. of unused space.
Say , just how many Mason jars does "Our" Franklin Police Chief have in his backyard anyway? It sure makes ya wonder , don't it?
Note: If Franklin Police would use this money for their departmental needs , they would not need taxpayer dollar$
Think about it people

What CNN Doesnt Say
Franklin , Tennessee - Yes folks , CNN put Franklin on their map of 100 best places to live. You know , it's amazing how many people brag about this town and yet , not one of those people have lived here for one Damn day. After all , Franklin is just a quaint little town , within easy driving distance of Nashville. One thing very few people know about Franklin , is the crime problem.
Did you know , Franklin Police have 20 detectives ? Did you know , they all average 30 investigations at any one time ? That's 600 incidents of crime in Franklin , at any one time. One of those investigations is a burglary. The door locks were broken and 10,000 dollars of theft and vandalism occurred. This incident involves Franklin Police officers and includes stealing a Red Cross Christmas surprise and of course , CNN over looks this small detail. After all , being close to Nashville is what really counts. Right?
My , what a wonderful town , this City of Franklin is to live in. Don't you agree ? I know Jay Johnson is sooo proud of his police department. You know , Jay Johnson , the City Administrator who got fired.
For the benefit of those who don't know. Yes , Franklin Police finally replaced their Deputy Chief. Is'nt it interesting that at the time , JJ refused to say why the other Deputy left ? The paper said , the former deputy was doing an excellent job. Both Chief jackie and his former boss JJ concurred on his exemplary job performance , and for some unknown reason , he just UP and quit and no one is talking about it.
Our "strong appreciation for history" , yeah right. Those fake battle fields are finally paying off.

66. Franklin, TN
It's no wonder music has a big influence on Franklin -- it's 20 minutes from Nashville.
Not only is it home to some of country music's rising stars and music producers, but this town hosts a wide range of concerts and festivals. They include Bluegrass Along the Harpeth in July and the Franklin Jazz Festival in September.
There's a strong appreciation for history here -- there are some Civil War sites in town. --N.A.

Thackston Speaks Out Of Turn
Franklin , Tennessee - BVD got Chairman Thackston of Cumberland University in Lebanon , Tennessee to give his views on the vandal incident , at Franklin Downtown Legal District.
BVD: Just what are you saying about these vandals? What they did was both stupid and stupid
Thackston: Look , these young boys are just simple college kids at heart. Myself , having spent most of my life at Vanderbilt , I know what it is , to be young , dumb and full of cum. Robert Herron and Tripp Weir were just acting like the teenagers they are is all.
BVD: I would think you would say something different about this incident
Thackston: Weeeeell nooooooowwww , look it here , when you have been around spoiled 'n rich , Vanderbilt kids ass long ass I have , you become dysfunctional and I
BVD: Hmm?
Thackston: What?
BVD: What are you trying to say Thackston?
Thackston: I'm saying that if these boys were friends with Franklin Police or family members with the judge or something like that , they would never had been arrested. Butt , since they are from Brentwood , that just aggravated things all the moore
BVD: How do you know this?
Thackston: I'm a political person in many circles here in Tennessee. I was once even considered for governor , did you know that?
BVD: (thinking to himself - "Thank God you never were") How about those other boys?
Thackston: You mean the wakeboarders ? Well , Franklin Police felt that their "Bad Ass" reputation was being stepped on , plus the boys are Brentwoodians so of course they were arrested. Butt again , if those wakeboarders were family or even friends of Franklin Police , nothing would have happened to them. It's that simple. Hell , if the police had known them , they would have just watched them have their fun along with everyone else they didn't arrest that day. They weren't the only ones wakeboarding heh heh heh
BVD: Wow. This town sure has a hardon for people from Brentwood.
Thackston: Yeah , it sure seems that way , butt then , Franklin Police have never been honest with their administering the law. After all they do have their friends who drink and drive and are constantly having accidents and the police are always keeping them out of trouble.
BVD: How do you know these things?
Thackston: I have friends at THE TENNESSEAN. I'm one of their most favorite writers and I don't even work there
BVD: Sooooo , what do you think the DA has to say about your remarks?
Thackston: Who cares? I can't be arrested in this town anyway , so , like I said earlier , who cares?
BVD: Hey uh , Thackston , there's a woman looking at you real mean like
Thackston: (looks around) Oh , her , yeah , well , that's my mistress and she always looks that way when ever she's around me. Love. What more can I say?

The Holding Room
Franklin , Tennessee @ The Crib - "Inside the Holding Room" , a BVD News Special Report - did you know there's a "Holding Room" , deep inside "Our" new Franklin Police Building? During the open house , I tried to get a picture of it , BUTT , I was told , "No can do , it's supposed to be a secret."
Soooo , why do the police have/need a holding room? (aka "The Holiday Room") Why no pictures? What's the big secret about this place? My tax dollar$ paid for it. So , what's going on? Having no answers in hand , I asked BVD and here's the reply:
BVD: Jerry , let's say , you are being interrogated at the station and you refuse to give the police , the answers they want to hear , so they can finish up their investigation , finish their paper work , finish their lunch and finish their cold ones before going home , while you sit in comfort behind bars. Their holding room provides them a secure place , to conveniently , while secretly , put your ass away , to allow you , the time you need , to rethink your answers. Meanwhile , your friends and relatives won't know you are in there because the police won't tell them.
It just so happens , there are cameras in this little cell. Aaaaaand , there also just so happens to be 2 very Happy Campers inside , who are enjoying "Our" Franklin Police hospitality at it's finest. Let's see how they are doing , shall we?

The Police Police
Franklin , Tennessee - The State of Tennessee has looked into this blog and now I'm getting mail from The City of Smyrna along with our sister City of Spring Hill.
A person (did you know that people living in Smyrna and Spring Hill are also named anonymous) asked me , "How would you suggest going about dealing with your corrupt police department? I replied I had no idea at the time.
This person mentioned the creation of The Police Police Department.
I told him , "Doing so would only double the amount of corruption already in existence"
He sadly agreed with me.

Our Police and Developers
Franklin , Tennessee - it didn't take much time for Franklin Police to share their new B&B building with their friends. There's a heated debate with developers and Franklinite owner/taxpayers , over a previously agreed upon development. Guess who wants to change things after the contract is agreed upon?
Here is the link:
http://rosskevin.blogspot.com/2010/07/fighting-generals-retreat-rezoning.html
Doing business like this makes me wonder , just how many Mason jars does Chief Moore really have , buried in his backyard?
After reading about the rezoning efforts by the developer , are you getting an idea of what's going on behind those closed doors @ "The Crib" ? And I'll bet you thought Franklin Police needed all of that fancy office space to fight crime. Now it seems Franklin Police are participants in the crime(s)

BVD: Chief , what's the story here? How could someone get inside your office and do such a thing? Why Chief? Why?

BVD: Wooooow , of course. I should have known

Franklin Police Know The Truth
Franklin , Tennessee - do you know this guy? He is Major Nidal Hasan , aka , the Fort Hood shooter.
Did you know he may be innocent of his actions? Yep , he sure is and Franklin Police are aware of it.
Because of his religious beliefs , he may have been targeted with an harassment device to coerce him to shot those around him. His actions have helped appropriate more money to fight a perceived terrorist threat.

Franklin Police Funny Pages
Franklin , Tennessee - BVD News - remember the stolen money machine at SUNTRUST Bank? Well , it seems some Franklinites really did have some of their money in that machine and some of them have since canceled their SUNTRUST banking accounts and moved on to another and more secure bank.
BVD was on the scene , watching ass another long time SUNTRUST Bank couple went inside to delete their account. In the process , a Living Will was being made out , which requires 2 unrelated signatures on the various papers.
Bank rep: Could I impose upon you to sign these papers? We don't have anyone present who is qualified at the moment.
Couple: Sure.
BR: Oh thank you. You two are so kind to do this
Couple: What are we getting paid for doing this? I think the going rate is 50$
BF: You are both being Good Samaritans
Couple: Ass much ass you charge for the little things , this is worth something
Bank Rep: And SUNTRUST thanks you for being such Good Samaritans
Couple: You know , SUNTRUST isn't much of a Good Samaritan in our community and besides , being a Good Samaritan is not in our job description just like it is not at SUNTRUST Bank
Meanwhile , another couple showed up to delete their SUNTRUST banking accounts and asked , "How do you drive a forklift 2 miles in the dark , to a bank and remove the money machine and the police not notice?"
Answer: In a move to save the bank some money , SUNTRUST stopped giving Franklin Police protection money.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! You don't saaaayyyyyyy.

That Left Hand Turn
Franklin , Tennessee - cruising around the internet , I found this: A man filed a lawsuit and he said he finally made the city of Franklin see the left hand turn rules the "right" way.
Here are some comments:
About time somebody could stand up to these police departments around here. We have people breaking into homes, murdering others, deal drugs, and many other horrible things, but we only deal with people who "illegally" make a left hand turn that's really legal because that is what makes money for the cities. Cops need to have their power reduced big time, get that fat head off their shoulders.
The reason this worked. They pull over a real honest to God, officer who made them understand the law. If officers start investgating alot of things other officers do. They'll find that officers don't obey the law they trying to enforce.
I'm curious, just how many times have the idiots parading as cops in Franklin got that city sued?
Seems to be a pattern...
franklin police officers have been abusing their powers at the intersection of highway 96 and royal oaks for quite some time...poorly placed entrances and exits to mcdonalds and other businesses at that intersection cause abrupt, unexpected traffic stops to take place...several drivers often find themselves suddenly stranded completely without warning in the middle of the intersection with nowhere to go after the light turns red...cops have usually been parked somewhere close and immediately pull these poor unsuspecting drivers over...my wife was one of them...
It's about time someone challenged Franklin's traffic laws. I say this because it seems Franklin just makes their own. My wife received a ticket several years ago (before we were married) for going through an intersection when the light changed yellow.
The cop told her that yellow meant stop. Since when? As a kid, I remember playing "red light / green light". I don't remember that game being called "yellow light / green light", do you?
State law is clear on it (and it has been this way since I've had my license). If your enter the intersection BEFORE the light is red, you are to proceed through. The yellow light is to "warn" you that the light is about to change to red.
She also told me that while she was in court, the judge asked everyone who was there for a speeding ticket. Several raised their hands. The judge said "Well, we need new cars, so you may as well go on and plead guilty, pay your fine, and go on. I'm going to find you guilty anyway."
Since she told me this story, I try to never go to Franklin. I'm a safe driver, but with these made up laws, am I the next to be ticketed?
Oh, before you ask, no, I've never gotten a ticket in my life.
Jay Mowery said the suit all began with a simple turn at the corner of Highway 96 and Royal Oaks last summer.
"I enter the intersection on a green light. I sit there and wait for the oncoming vehicles to complete their pass through, so I can turn safely left. I made the left turn and a police officer pulled me over and said ‘I had run a red light or made an illegal turn by making that left hand turn,'" said Mowery.
Mowery, a 30-year police veteran and former police chief in South Carolina, knew he did nothing wrong.
"I knew I legally had a right to make a left hand turn," said Mowery.
Mowery said as long as you enter the intersection while the light is green, you can exit it after it turns red. He fought the ticket through the courts and finally won.
"The court of appeals overturned the conviction issued by the city court and the circuit court here in Williamson County. With that, we have adjusted our procedures in that type of enforcement," said Franklin police sergeant Charlie Warner.
The city of Franklin said it does not plan to fight the court's decision.
"We're not going to be issuing tickets any longer for someone that completes that left turn after the signal has turned because they're waiting for the traffic to clear from that intersection," said Warner.
Police said their best advice is to not enter the intersection unless you feel you can safely make the turn.

It's about time someone challenged Franklin's traffic laws. I say this because it seems Franklin just makes their own. My wife received a ticket several years ago (before we were married) for going through an intersection when the light changed yellow.
The cop told her that yellow meant stop. Since when? As a kid, I remember playing "red light / green light". I don't remember that game being called "yellow light / green light", do you?
State law is clear on it (and it has been this way since I've had my license). If your enter the intersection BEFORE the light is red, you are to proceed through. The yellow light is to "warn" you that the light is about to change to red.
She also told me that while she was in court, the judge asked everyone who was there for a speeding ticket. Several raised their hands. The judge said "Well, we need new cars, so you may as well go on and plead guilty, pay your fine, and go on. I'm going to find you guilty anyway."
Since she told me this story, I try to never go to Franklin. I'm a safe driver, but with these made up laws, am I the next to be ticketed?
Oh, before you ask, no, I've never gotten a ticket in my life.

Helper Helps Raz Find Help For The Squirrel
Franklin , Tennessee -BVD was there-The City of Franklin was a buzz yesterday , when District Attorney Kim Helper helped longtime citizen and Franklinite , "Raz" find the squirrel.
Franklin District Attorney Helper blushed ass she remarked , " Oh it was nothing , really. I didn't have anything else better to do with myself and I felt sooo sorry for Raz and I thought , maybe it would be a good idea for me to show the people of this fine city that I'm also good for doing other tasks ass well , besides just sitting around pining on my own ass all of the time , looking like I'm someone important while getting paid. You do know I do other things ass well besides slamming the law down on those poor little spoiled 'n rich Brentwoodians. You do know that , right?"
Unfortunately , Raz did not catch the squirrel. Raz later replied , "That Dumb Ass of a Bitch. What was she thinking getting in my way like that. Doesn't she have probably something more important to do? Damn it all to Hell ! I had that squirrel all along. His ass was mine. Damn it! I was just faking him out is all."
BVD asked the squirrel about the incident who stated , " Thank God for Dumb Asses 'n Dumb Broads. I didn't know what was going on at the moment. I thought my hair was a goner fur sure that time. Ole Raz is getting better all the time at catching us squirrels. Just ask my cousin Vinny , Raz bit his tail off just last week. Man , I tell ya , it hurts me just to look at it. WHEW! "
