Stanley, clare, stacey, leonard, robert and all you other idiots: yes, tila violated a traffic law and potentially put her son in danger. So that means an arrogant egotistical b*****d police officer needs to scare the crap out of her son? Her son didn't do anything wrong. If she would have been alone it wouldn't have been as traumatizing- knowing your child is scared shitless is the worst part. The officer had a right to be concerned, but he could have had mom step out of the car and had a talk to her on the side, out of the sons earshot. You can make someone feel guilty and bad about something dumb they did by explaining the seriousness of their actions with a stern and serious voice, giving constructing critisicm, NOT screaming in their face! That poor little boy did not have to experience that tirade, it will just give him disrespect for officers. A police officer has the duty to set a good example for the community by not lashing out unless neccessary, and this was not neccessary!! There are more mature ways to handle situations like this. Those who say Tila deserved it-you never made a stupid mistake in your life? Im sure Tila regrets that mistake and is thankful her son is safe so dont add to the guilt a mother always feels anyway. The only time an officer should act in that manner is if they feel their life is in danger. Do you have a child? Do you know what it's like to see that child hurt? It's the worst pain a mother can feel. At least a mother who puts her childs cares and worries first. You're probably the parent who feels your child is a "choice", not a gift and could care less about how they feel, just as long as they are in day care so you can live selfishly and make more money. To Tila, yes you did a wrong, but I have done many wrongs myself. No one needs to be treated that way, especially a child. Explain to your son that most police officers are good, but the truth is that some are unhappy with their life and take it out on others. A sad fact. Complicated times our children have to grow up in.

I think you are skipping a part in the story of what you did. You said that you only made a u-turn but the officer said you violated three laws. You probably did something else like make a u-turn in front of oncoming cars. I know most burbank police officers, and they wouldn't yell unless you did something really bad. You are making a report, a report you have to include everything, even stuff you did wrong. So why don't you tell us exactly what you did wrong and not just what the officer did, because you had 4 paragraphs on exactly what the officer did wrong but only 2 sentences on what you did wrong. So next time why don't you tell us everything, not just the stuff that will make you look good to other people.

Lana, I am not perfect. But I know enough about the rules of the road to not make an ILLEGAL U-Turn(which the Tila admitted in the original report). I also know enough that if I am pulled over, you pull over, you put the car in park, turn the engine off, and follow the officers orders. So unless the officer tells you to move forward..YOU DON'T. Oh and yes the roads are much safer when EVERYONE follows the rules of the road. By the way to Tila how is the suit going that you were going to file against them? Please post the Court and Docket Information so that everyone can follow it along.

Let me tell you - The Burbank police is a lot better than the crooked, lazy creeps that run the Pony Police. We fired the last chief James Browne and they replaced him with a Jewish guy named Tony Sperl. This guy runs around town wearing one of those jew beanies on his head. I now wish we never got rid of Chief Browne.

I hardly think that being issued a traffic citation is justifiable grounds for voicing your opinion on a forum of this nature which is mostly reserved for consumer concerns. You weren't ripped off in any way, you were just simply caught violating a California vehicle code section, that's all. Yet to vent your anger about the upcoming court costs and subsequent fines imposed, you feel it necessary to slander the good name of a fine upstanding police department like Burbank because you're trying to rationalize your actions when in fact you should save all this anger and frustration for the judge. After all, the US constitution tells us you're innocent until proven guilty. But not to quote Robert from Irvine, (because he ripped me off in my trade mark comment, "there are always two sides to every story") yet in this case, there are three sides to every story, your side, his side, and the truth in between. As you said yourself, Burbank is adjacent to the City of Glendale which of course, gives the neighboring police agencies jurisdiction in the next city, especially when it comes to backing up a fellow officer. What you probably didn't know was, Glendale PD, like any good neighbor were monitoring Burbank's police radio broadcast of a traffic stop (that being you) and the officer probably said something to the effect of requesting one unit to assist due to an irate driver. That again, being you. What we don't get to read about is what prompted the officer along with the visual observation of writing you a citation. In other words, what else did you do to have him remind you he could also write you for two additional traffic violations? What else was said? What did you call him? What really went on in that law-abiding city? My brother in law's cousin's next door neighbor is married to a Burbank cop and he came out here to Hidalgo County for a family barbecue one summer about three years back. The endless stories he told us about the Armenians who come here to the US with their arrogance and criminal intent on being welfare cheats! It's enough to make your blood boil. The other concern is, Burbank is next to a city which has now become infested with all these Third-World non-deodorant wearing smelly Armenians, who as we all know are famous for speeding, violating the rules of the road on a daily basis and just having a careless and arrogant attitude toward everyone especially when it comes to law and order. Are you one of them? As for the screaming, crying kid in the back seat, if I were the officer issuing the citation for the illegal U-turn, and if your last name ended with the letters "IAN," then I wouldn't be satisfied with just asking you to sign in the red box, with the promise to appear. Assuming that you're one of those ignorant, rude, Armenians that the Burbank cops have to deal with on a daily basis, I would have called the City's Animal Control dept. and have that screaming little b*****d in the back seat muzzled and put on a leash where he would have been hauled off to the City's Animal Shelter. These are reasons why I think it's a lot safer in Weslaco. Sincerely, Stanley.

Tila, I am sorry to see what you went threw. I am really miffed with Robert and Clare. I think the last guy, is just Satan himself. Clare, really a u-turn equals child endangerment? I to, will hug my kids and tell them its from Clare. IDIOT! Robert you go! The roads would be so safe with such expert drivers as you.

First of all with a name like yours I will bet you are a minority. I can't understand why your kid is so scared of cops unless everytime your husband sees one with your son, hubby opens fire on the officer. The Burbank Police does a very good job of keeping you Minorities in line. All You ARMENIANS have been investing Burbank for the past year and it has to stop. Go back to Van Nuys or Glendale and leave our hard working officers of the law alone ! ! ! !

Dear Robert & Clare, It is quite unfortunatate that the two of you feel it necessary to use this Public Forum to join the the Police Officer, who in my opinion, yes, my opinion, verbally abuse this woman and her son. All the two of you have accomplished is to make yourselves sound self-rightous, insensitive and cruel. Yes, you're right, that there are "two sides to every story", but, again, IN MY OPINION, and I capitalize MY OPINION, because the two of you, including myself have not adhered to Ripoff's "Rebuttal Guidlines". This forum is to give consumers an opportunity to express that they have been mistreated, mislead, verbally abused, ripped off, etc... For the record, I had the opportunity to work for my local Police Department (in-uniform and as a civilian), and I worked with some wonderful police officers (men & woment) and I worked with some that in my opinion were an embarrassment to the Department. Some peoplo just shouldn't wear a badge, and I would think that Police Deptartments know which ones are truly an asset to the public and which ones are a libility. Just so you know I still work with police officers today, but in a civilian position. Tila, I wish you well. I hope this experience doesn't cause you or your young son to mistrust all police officers. There are good people and jerks in every sector of life, regardless of their profession. However, we should be able to feel safe with our men and women who uphold the law. Yes, you made a mistake, but He could of given you a stern "warning" without the intimidation, screaming and threats...Sometimes, some officers have either been on the job too long or they are just miserable human beings by nature.

It is really a shame you learned nothing about what you did wrong. Your upset son could had been killed, since you were too lazy to go up to Glenoaks then make a right then another right at the next corner. In the morning and evening at Alameda and Glenoaks it is a mad house and you, you had the nerve to make a U turn it was so reckless to put yourself, your child and others at risk of loosing their lives or injured for life. I think if I was an officer I would had cited you for child endangerment. As you evidently did not learn from a simple ticket. So think about it,who upset your child. You did !! Learn how to drive, as safety is highest priority. Hug your child and tell him you are sorry for putting his life in danger. Saying I am sorry, and paying for a ticket is not enough in this case.Thank the officer.

So you make an illegal U-Turn and get caught. If everything happened EXACTLY as you stated(remember there are two sides to every story) then he would be in the wrong. But there are several interesting things about this. First if you were blocking a driveway the police officer would have instructed you to pull forward or continue to a "safe" place. The only reason they wouldn't do this is if he felt your driving was endagering the public, or where you were was okay. Perhaps when you made this U-Turn a car was coming the opposite way and you almost crashed. You said you were "immediatly" pulled over so perhaps it was even the officer you cut off. That alone could set the tone that you "should not be driving". Later you also started you decided to "move up". Did he tell you to do this? Did you tell him you were going to? How is the officer supposed to read you mind and know you are not trying to run. You would not have been the first person who gives all of their information and then "freak out" and run. Do you have any witnesses to this incident. What about the Glendale Officer? What about other people going by, this is a highly populated area.

File a formal complaint with the Internal Affairs Division. It would be my guess this isn't the first time he's been a problem. Both him and his supervior will have to answer to I.A. for this.
