I have always been close to city and county governments. Alot of those officers are under pressure to perform from the bean counters. At that small level you have to earn your pay, your ride, your equipment in order to subsidize the govt funds. Or you simply find another job...

The current-year budget cuts, proposed last month by County Executive Isiah Leggett (D), were designed to get a jump on a shortfall next fiscal year that officials have estimated could reach $608 million. But during the council's session Tuesday, Montgomery budget director Joe Beach said that a drop-off in state and federal revenue and in speed-camera proceeds, plus a rising tally of snow-removal costs, could push the shortfall to $690 million.[/quote] http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...020903482.html They have already quit talking safety in my county-it's all about the revenue. Towns have started petitioning the state for a cut of the cameras located in "their" areas. |

Sure on things that aren't clearly defined. Laws are very well defined so if you break the law, you get a ticket/arrested/fined or a combination of the 3. If it's bullshit, we have judges who can dismiss your case or lesson your charge.

If tickets were about " safety" they would ticket the idiots on the road going 10 or 20 K under the speed limit pissing off the other drivers just trying to drive the posted speed (on clear roads of course) They are just as dangerous as speeders. This town is full of idiots in the fast lane going WELL under the posted limit..GRR

I drove to work the other day (about 35 miles) and saw 10 cops.
A friend of mine had to call 911 because he got in a fender bender and it took the cops almost 3 hours to show up. Safety my ass.

When I am in the cage or commuting I really don't speed, but if they catch me in the Ozarks back roads they wont have to use any judgment or discretion. All they have to do is figure out how to catch a ton up sportbike or 4. Which they can and sometimes do.

wanna make a ton of money for your particular organization LEO's?
Listen closely: Ticket people who sit in the left lane and you can leave the speed cushion alone. You'll probably make 5X the $$. Problem solved AND you'll actually do some good preventing congestion.
