Fuck Cops...Really.

[Elbow]

I just wanted to say fuck cops. They don't do SHIT about anything important, they spend more time sitting on the side of the road writing tickets for going ten over than they do worrying about real crime.

Get off your lazy low life ass and do something for the people. I could care less if a truck passes me speeding. As he's speeding someone is raping a girl or robbing someone at gunpoint. Oh and when you call them they don't come until it's convenient.

Step your game up you ex-hallway patrol officers.

[punkr6]

oh lord, this could get ugly fast....

[Elbow]

I'm going to go become a cop so I can fuck all the officers in the ass and handle it all myself.

Cops enforce the law. Speeding is against the law.... I don't see where the confusion is. Also, it is hard for any cop to find a rape in progress, or a murder in progress. And lastly, it's not the police officers fault on the time frame they can get to a crime scene....We don't have the tax dollars to have 398734573458743975354857394 cops running around. Quit bitching.

Then they need to police themselves, b/c they are always speeding (like 90+) for no reason, and always cutting people off just to catch a speeder. I hardly think 1 speeder is worth risking a serious accident over. But yes speeding is illegal. The answer to that is to not get caught.

[Elbow]

I'm just saying they need to focus on catching real criminals. I never said they could catch anyone but placing themselves in known places where crime happens and such helps, response can be up to them, if a cop is patrolling traffic and a call comes in...they could leave.

A neighbor was in desperate need of help once and I had to CALL TWICE to get the police there. The operator said they had four calls and they were coming, but I asked why so long, where are they? Lazy fucks. It took forty minutes to get there. The only time I've seen a cop come fast is when I mentioned "gun."

[punkr6]

nothing is stopping you from doing that every time....

except filing a false report, which is what you are doing when you call.



Police response times suck, its a simple fact of life. It isnt going to ever change and it is rarely the individual cop's fault. It is mostly dispatch's fault. More times than not though a call is just going to be put at the end of the line unless there is cause to believe there is a risk to someone's life or the crime is in process.


I feel your pain on cops hauling ass with no lights or siren, but you can blame that on the dumb ass laws of this state. In many cases they are not allowed to use lights and siren.

[00Civic]

there are good cops and bad cops...

I say fuck the bad ones. They're a bunch of faggatory fucks.

I have personally spent time in the dispatch and can say for a fact it is often the officers fault.

[BanginJimmy]

as have I in Paulding county and Villa Rica. In not a single case was there a non-emergency call that was immediately dispatched. They sat on a desk and waited for an officer to radio in that the call he was on was completed.

Yeah, I have seen that more than a few times too. In Rockdale it is often the the officer who responds too slowly. Rockdale is full of crooked ass cops anyways, especially City.

[DynamicSound]

LOL, reminds me when I was a manager at Taco Bell when I was a teen. We would have issue and need assistance getting people of the property. We would call the police and they would take 30 minutes to 2 hours to arrive. After that, I would hit the silent burglary alarm and they would be there in 10 minutes. Of coarse they were pissed...but they were there.

Um excuse me, excuse me. But cops are able to catch a speeder in progress since they just hang out on the freeway with nothing better to do. Cops can also hang around long enough to find a reason to pull over someone and investigate them and their car for whatever reason.

So tell me why an officer cannot hang in an obvious suspect neighborhood and just watch, have presense in a neighborhood that is known for and obviously notorious for being a haven for say, drugs, or rape or trafficking and the like? Why cant an officer just be there, or be 5 deep in an area like they do in Cleveland, TN on I-75 S/N or in the construction exit/entrance of I-75 S/N just outside Chattanooga, TN on I-285 at the Gwinnett CO line?

They can have all the tech and man-power to hassle travelers like myself, but they cant handle the hustle in a neighborhood. Bullshit

One problem with your theory.

Say the cops triple the patrols in a low income, majority black neighborhood. How long do you think it will take for Sharpton and Jackson to be on the news saying the cops are being racist and profiling because they arent patrolling and hanging out in the white neighborhoods too?

[tdurr]

^^^^ if its a known bad area, then they wont be there. dont play the race card. Now if the cops were just pulling random people off the streets and harassing them then it would be handled as racism.


aslo, ive noticed that the white neighborhoods are considered "gated neighborhoods" were cops arnt able to patrol. they can only enter when they are called.

This isnt about patrol, this is about cop presence. This is to deter the hustle and violence in a neighborhood that is known-bad. All the man-power and gas wasted picking off casual speeders could be pulled to remove actual murderers and rapist and hustlers from streets. Whether ghetto or mid to upper level criminals of all types.

U talk about race like it was even an issue in this. Sharpton and Jackson dont talk solely about the "low-income" areas and you should know that you dont see cops patroling the white or light-skinned neighborhoods, just to patrol. My first apartment was in a "ghetto/low income area) and was pulled over many times and they patrol hardcore all day and night, but since I've moved up north (northern COL) I dont see any officers in my neighborhood unless called upon and respond in a reasonable amount of time.

Step your game up you ex-hallway patrol officers.

A) Just because they caught you speeding, or you see someone get caught speeding doesn't mean he wasted his whole day to catch that one or few people speeding.

B) The Creeper is right; its terribly hard to actually catch a rape/murder/etc in progress as those are crimes not committed by a lot of people (relative to the population), as well as not being a "profitable" crime.

C) I don't like the majority of comes, and I assume they're all assholes unless proven otherwise; the same way they seem to assume I'm a criminal unless proven otherwise.

[Elbow]

They've never caught me speeding I have ZERO traffic tickets.

I never said they could catch it in the act, I'm speaking of response time and where they place themselves. It's been well discussed in here how they could show presence where real crime is and not where a simple speeder is.

Traffic safety is important but it doesn't take ALL the officers and hours of sitting and waiting for that one speeder.

Yesterday my girlfriends co-worker was robbed in their work parking lot, in the morning, in daylight. Two men walked up to her as she got out of her car and made her give over her purse and they left...on foot...on the sidewalk. She called the police and they showed up TWO HOURS later. If they would of came when she called they could of at LEAST scouted the neighborhoods around the business for the men described. Now those people are still out and WILL rob someone else. They could of snatched HER, beat her, there is no telling.

I have so many examples of events like that where the police really don't do a thing. It's bad when you have to sometimes call twice and yell at the people to make them do anything.

Officers simply showing presence in a known crime area WILL lower SOME of the crime. If it doesn't, there response time SHOULD be improved.

[Dirty Octopus™]

you must be a black.

[Elbow]

you must be a black.

No, defiantly white. Don't be a retard.

[David88vert]

Here are the facts.

If they arrest someone for a serious crime, and have to lock them up, it cost money.
If they ticket someone who makes a decent living, and he pays it, they make money.

Which do you think they are most interested it?

Why do you think that they prefer to take robbery reports over the phone now, and don't want to show up to dust for fingerprints when they are obviously there? I had that happen once many years ago. According to the cops, they never could solve it, and did not want the fingerprints left on the scene - and we knew that they were of the criminal. I found the person who broke in 4 days - and it was a random person who I did not know. I am not a detective, so why was I able to do a much better job than those trained and paid to solve these crimes? The reason is simple. I put in reasonable effort, and they were too lazy to do it - it doesn't have any financial gain for the department.

[Elbow]

Well if that's the case fuck the USA.

By the way they did come and "investigate" the "scene" yesterday as I've seen before in other cases.

[JeremyEvoX]

Have you ever been on a ride-along with a police department? Sounds like you should do one. Maybe you'll get a better understanding of what goes on during an officer's shift and all that they have to do. Just because they are sitting there running laser when you drive by, doesn't mean they've been there for 8 hours.

[Friggintitsman]

I kind of agree with Simon

If a cop spent more time patrolling a high crime area and not on the highway pulling people over you may actually be able to catch a crime in progress. You may even be able to keep some people from committing crime in those areas.

[JeremyEvoX]

The problem with your theory is: the chances a cop catches a crime in progress is one in a million. Cops can't be everywhere at once and think about it. If you were going to rob a bank, are you going to do it with the police car sitting across the street? Criminals aren't the smartest people in the world but they're not retarded. What you guys don't realize is that most serious criminals are caught when they are stopped for a traffic offense such as speeding from the scene of a bank robbery.

[Dirty Octopus™]

No, defiantly white. Don't be a retard.how am i a retard cuz i thought you were a black? i mean... im a black and i hate cops too. i figured we had some things in common. ive never met you so i cant know to know that you're definetely white. you white.

[Friggintitsman]

Of course if we payed them more they may be more opted to do actual work.

[Evil Goat]

lots and lots of ignorance in here...

[whatever210]

one time i got pulled over cause i was driving the speed limit at 2am with a exhaust on my car at like 2 thousand rpms stayed in my lane used my blinkers and when the cop came up he told me he pulled me over cause i looked suspicious? i was like wtf? then proceded to interigate me like i did something wrong. he asked me why i was driving at 2am which is none of his buisness, why i had gauges in my car, why i had a exhaust, pretty much everything you could think of. after he bullshited for 15 min he let me go and gave me a ticket for my lincese plate light being dim.....i said officer they are both on. he said no there not. i said look. sure enough they were both on and then he said u need to get new bulbs because the light should shine on the ground, thats how bright they need to be. i said im sorry i have a 15 year old car and over the years crub gets in the lenses and makes them dirty. he said have a good night and ill see you in court. when i showed up i brought a picture of both of them funtional. ticket was dropped and the solicting officers were like why would he even give u this as a ticket. i said he was a dick. they looked at the badge number and said yeah he famil with that cop and asked me if i wanted to file a report and i said no since the ticket was droped.

It's almost like your giving them an excuse. If you or I were speeding to get too work to make money for our homes and got pulled over and ended up late for work due to them wondering why I'm carrying say... 60 in a 45. We all know and they all know when most people travel to and from work. They wait.... and wait... some even wait hours to catch the few people whom are behind schedule for whatever reason. Just to make $$?

If it was such a problem with the cost of jailing people then how or why in the world is there such a large and exploding population of jailed individuals? Stop trying to cover it with money. There are many other things our tax dollars could be going to instead of to the gas tanks of wasteful large luxury sedans.

[Got Milk?]

Yeah man fuck the cops, because they're the one controlling the street and risking their life every day. And you're the one here bitching about it behind a computer. Yeah man, you're right, FUCK THE POLICE!

[atlxshocker]

fuck hall county and oakwood cops, i was a stop sign not a car in sight, my ef lost power and had to get out and fix batt cable. i start up and get maybe a 1 mile down the road when an oakwood come flying down the road from behind me had to be doing 80 in a 20 to pull me over(keep in mind i was driving the speed limit as i live on the road) the cop gets on my ass alost rear ends me, rides my ass for like a min or 2 then flips his lights on and proceeds to pull me over. he gets out and comes to my car and tells me to get outa my car and put my hands on the roof. he pats me down then calls for a k9 unit so 3 fucking cops come at his bitch call. have the dog search my car then he proceeds to give me a ticket for obstructing and intersection. wtf i say fuck cops they do nothing but fuck with ppl. yea dont get cuaght breaking the law, but when ur not doing anything they decide to fuck with ppl. and get this shit i had a rb25det s13 240 and the same motha pulled me over about 6 months ago for my bov and i was going over a speed bump so i had to go slow as shit. he said i was laying drag, speeding, atempting to evade he had me in a holding cell over night. fuck the police do ur job and leave reg ppl alone like me!

I have done more than that, I've had a few letters published in various local newspaper/magazines and plan to continue to bitch until they've had enough. There is a difference in me and someone bitching at a ticket, I've had issues with the police but that's not why I am bitching, I also didn't say ALL COPS suck. You can't truly say that all cops are great and protect us. I bet half wouldn't even consider what they do risky. They don't control the street, they control the flow of traffic.

Some of you are right, tons of ignorance in this thread, and it's not from me. Some of you are blind and have a hard time comprehending what you read. You also must of never really looked around you or became aware of your surroundings.

That's cus I mind my own fucking business and I go on my way without being bothered. People who wanna stick their nose in places they don't belong in get treated like crap. After all, these cops are humans just like you and me, some might have high temper while some are easy on stuff. And yes, some cops can be ass holes for no fucking reason, they couldn't succeed in anything else in their life, so they became a police officer. And than there are cops who are really dedicated to their job, and love it. Example of an good cop, and a bad cop: Cop A pulls you over for speeding and gives you a warning, Cop B pulls u over for speeding, and gives you 5 tickets.

the term "police" isnt defined as someone who pulls over super speeders and broken tag lights and seatbelt violations. They were given the job to protect the community in all kinds of ways. There should be no barrier between what will and wont make them money by policing the public.

As usual you're entirely missing the point. This isn't a thread saying I hate cops they're all stupid I got a speeding ticket and it wasn't my fault.

READ ALL OF THE POSTS, START TO END, before replying after just reading the thread title. I hope you're a more intelligent person in real life than you are on here.

1. I'm pretty sure he never said anything about you being mad about getting a speeding ticket that "wasn't your fault". However, you did admit that you have had your "issues" with the police.

2. You say this is not a thread saying you hate all cops yet you titled it Fuck Cops. Not Fuck crooked cops, Fuck lazy cops, or even Fuck angry cops. Maybe you should use some of that supposed intelligence you THINK you possess and title your threads better.

3. Since you want someone who has read all the posts in here to respond, I'll tell you that the jist of what you and the few others in here who say "Fuck Cops" are all saying that you think the Police should be doing something better with their time than working traffic control. You believe Police Officers should spend all their efforts catching serious criminals such as robbers, rapists, and thieves. However, if you had read all the posts in here start to end, like you yell at other people to do, you would have read the post where I explained that catching these criminals in the act is a one in a million opportunity. I went on to explain how most of these serious criminals are caught during a routine traffic stop for such things as speeding. Not all and I would venture to say not most of the police who are out there stopping cars are really out there to write tickets as much as they are to find criminals.

4. The Officers who are out there just to write speeding tickets and make DUI arrests are doing a service too. Did you and your high level of "intelligence" know that more people are killed in DUI and other traffic related accidents every year than the number of robberies, rapes, and murders combined? Probably not because you are just a pissed off little 22 year old boy who only thinks of himself and of no one else. I wonder what you would be saying if someone in your family had been killed by a drunk driver driving 100 miles per hour through a red light that your loved one happened to be traveling though?

In conclusion, it is you who should grow up a little and think about what you say before you start questioning someone else's intelligence.

I've had issues with cops as in corruption. Luckily good lawyers fixed that for me though.

You also missed where I've said numerous times YOU CAN'T CATCH THEM IN THE
ACT. You act like I don't know cops or have never really looked into what officers do.

You sir are the retard. You know DAMN WELL there are way too many lazy cops out there not doing their job correctly. I've had a few family members seriously injured from a drunk driver, an ex was killed, you know what? I still believe EXACTLY what I'm saying. I pray for those drunk drivers and forgive them, they will get what they deserve.

It doesn't take every cop to save people from a DUI either. Plus if there are so many deaths I guess cops aren't doing too good of a job there either are they cop nut rider?

SOMETIMES the police catch criminals in a traffic stop, HOWEVER, there is no way you can believe that there is a better chance pulling over a criminal than there is parking in a high crime neighborhood and either breaking up some crime or responding to calls faster to ATTEMPT to catch a criminal. I'm sorry but if I'm robbed and the man is on foot, a cop better show up within a few minutes and at least SEARCH, not a few hours later.

I don't get some people like you, you're either blind to the real world, you put too much faith into the police and other government agencies in this country, or you just want to play internet arguing.

I've always held high respect for police offers but that's quickly deteriorating as I see things fall the shit.

I wasn't robbed one of Haley's co-workers was. That's not the point though that just made me mad how it took 3 hours for a cop to come. It's THAT girls second time being mugged this month too, talk about bad luck.

However no, ONE cop is all it takes to just show up in a timely manner and at LEAST simply drive around the surrounding area. At least be seen and known.

If someone is beating their wife to death YES GO THERE, STILL I bet they would lally dag getting there. It's just events in general I'm speaking of, nothing imparticular or to help me.

[JeremyEvoX]

I've had issues with cops as in corruption. Luckily good lawyers fixed that for me though.

You also missed where I've said numerous times YOU CAN'T CATCH THEM IN THE
ACT. You act like I don't know cops or have never really looked into what officers do.

You sir are the retard. You know DAMN WELL there are way too many lazy cops out there not doing their job correctly. I've had a few family members seriously injured from a drunk driver, an ex was killed, you know what? I still believe EXACTLY what I'm saying. I pray for those drunk drivers and forgive them, they will get what they deserve.

It doesn't take every cop to save people from a DUI either. Plus if there are so many deaths I guess cops aren't doing too good of a job there either are they cop nut rider?

SOMETIMES the police catch criminals in a traffic stop, HOWEVER, there is no way you can believe that there is a better chance pulling over a criminal than there is parking in a high crime neighborhood and either breaking up some crime or responding to calls faster to ATTEMPT to catch a criminal. I'm sorry but if I'm robbed and the man is on foot, a cop better show up within a few minutes and at least SEARCH, not a few hours later.

I don't get some people like you, you're either blind to the real world, you put too much faith into the police and other government agencies in this country, or you just want to play internet arguing.

I've always held high respect for police offers but that's quickly deteriorating as I see things fall the shit.

Not one valid point. Just wild speculation and uneducated comments.

You're bitching a lot about police response times so I just thought I would tell you that calls for service by police are dispatched based on the importance of the call. Maybe the dispatchers can tell, like the rest of us in here, that you are an insignificant little shit that doesn't deserve police services. So, why don't you go publish some more letters and articles in local newspapers and see where that gets you?

Where did you read I AS IN MYSELF am upset about the police responding to MY CALL?

You're missing the point, you're not making any valid points either, just speculation about my posts. I am educated when it comes to law enforcement and have had cop friends, an ex's mother was actually a dispatcher as well in a different county.

I love your immature name calling by the way, it makes you seem so cool dude.

[JeremyEvoX]

^^^Well put

I'm pretty sure I am make some valid points. At least this guy thinks so. Also, I GUARANTEE that I am more educated when it comes to law enforcement than you are. As for you whining about me calling you an insignificant little shit, don't be one and you won't have to worry about it.

I know im a noob here but i have been reading this awesome conversation. In my opinion there are NO good cops. Keeping in mind that they are just like us they put their pants on one leg at a time. Human like us with the urge to abuse this so called power we as socieity give them. Here in Chattanooga i have made a criminal carreer over driving because the police have nothing better to do, when i was 17, 18 hell even 19 i was a stupid speeder like 100 plus every where i went. The only time i was ever tagged was when i was going like 5 over or running a stop sign.
Here the ghetto is filled with drug dealers who sell drugs to kids KIDS!!!!! i witnessed a child maybe 11 yrs old purchase weed from his local weed man. My x girl trashed my stuff at my apartment called me and the cops then convenced them it was my friends that did it ater telling me and 2 other officers that it was 2 random guys. The job is to protect and serve not to make people scared to call you in the event of an actual emergency......Danger is in the job description ya dont want to be shot dont be a cop.

[2bsideways]

While the odds of catching a rapist or murderer are slim to none compared to anything it does not take the entire police force to catch a drunk......they seem to make them selves pretty visible. A friend of mine went for a "ride along" with a cop which is something any one can do and he told me the cop pulled people over for anything he could think of just to look for drugs. some may be doing there job...but most are just abusing the perks of it and the bad cops far out weigh the good cops

[OG-Skinny]

I just wanted to say fuck cops. They don't do SHIT about anything important, they spend more time sitting on the side of the road writing tickets for going ten over than they do worrying about real crime.

Get off your lazy low life ass and do something for the people. I could care less if a truck passes me speeding. As he's speeding someone is raping a girl or robbing someone at gunpoint. Oh and when you call them they don't come until it's convenient.


Step your game up you ex-hallway patrol officers.

Call me a dick, but I hope you get mugged or assaulted soon. If you think cops aren't doing anything important, then you don't need to call 911 when you need them most.

[David88vert]

It's almost like your giving them an excuse. If you or I were speeding to get too work to make money for our homes and got pulled over and ended up late for work due to them wondering why I'm carrying say... 60 in a 45. We all know and they all know when most people travel to and from work. They wait.... and wait... some even wait hours to catch the few people whom are behind schedule for whatever reason. Just to make $$?

If it was such a problem with the cost of jailing people then how or why in the world is there such a large and exploding population of jailed individuals? Stop trying to cover it with money. There are many other things our tax dollars could be going to instead of to the gas tanks of wasteful large luxury sedans.

Budget projections - learn how they work, and why they have estimation plans well in advance. It is about money. They order cars, construction of jails, etc. on budget projections. Then they have to pull in enough revenue to make those budgets. This is not the federal government. City, state, and counties, are supposted to not run a deficit - by law.
Tickets bring in a lot of revenue.

There are enough people committing crimes that require an arrest - that is why jails fill up. Look at their budgets though - guess where a large portion of the jails budget comes from.

[David88vert]

the term "police" isnt defined as someone who pulls over super speeders and broken tag lights and seatbelt violations. They were given the job to protect the community in all kinds of ways. There should be no barrier between what will and wont make them money by policing the public.

Which do you see more often - police ticketing speeders, or rushing to the scene of a crime? They "serve" tickets more than they "protect".

[Echonova]

I'm a cop.

I agree with this guy? You see more cops writing tickets cause there are more people out there speeding than all the other crimes combined. Not to mention, you never know when a cop is responding to a call unless it is a serious call that requires them to have their lights and sirens on which is about 1 out of every 50 calls. The ignorance in this post is epic. People should make sure they know what they're talking about before they open their mouth.

Budgeting on a projection, maybe if the businesses budgeted within reason there wouldnt be such a hustle to make $$ to meet the projection and dragging everyone else along for there projected income mark. Meeting a "quota" for the day to satisfy greed for which juristiction has the best rides and facilities has nothing to do with paying top $ to a force that clears the streets of real criminals.

Speeding is speeding, but filling up the jail house with innocent drivers does not help a community. Do u not drive in certain areas of your city, in the subburbs or those small, random towns that EVERYONE slows for, because the traffic cops are oppressive but in the actual town/city itself is riddeled with drugs and violence?

I've lived in one of those and also used to commute through one of those. Particularly Hanging Rock, OH: check the links HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_Rock,_Ohio)"It is regularly labeled a speed trap as the state auditor reported $109,186 in mayor's court receipts in 2000 compared with $3,106 in property taxes",

HERE (http://www.speedtrap.org/city/8380/Hanging%20Rock) this is one example. Or South Bloomfield signage discrepancy HERE (http://www.speedtrap.org/city/8672/South%20Bloomfield) When these areas are riddeled with drugs and sex crimes, violence and the like that I've been around most of my life.

So dont give me that little kid stuff about bugeting, they'd rather take the easy route and make $$ than to "protect and serve."

This does not even include the $$ they can SPEND on using marked roadways to enforce speed limits via aircraft. Come on man, all the $$$ we push into enforcement comes out as a display of prowless whether than protection. I'll add one more example near the area I live now:

RIGHT HERE (http://www.speedtrap.org/city/8756/Westerville) the lovely world of Westerville, albeit this isnt a drug ridden area (its actually wealthy, very wealthy) the cops are oppressive here to. Like following me into work because the officer failed to check my front plate fast enough, so he decided it was fine to follow me, pull me over in my parking spot outside the office and hold me in my car till he verified.

Oh I'll even continue on places where I dont live. Specifically in southern states. Like SC and NC and most of GA. Where an officer can be completely unmarked, facing TOWARD traffic with no lights on.

Why unmark a car for traffic enforcement? Why do officers "hide" some seriously hide to and we all know it. But why do they have to hide to enforce the speed law? O wait, I know, to catch u. Speed enforcement can be made by presence. Leave an officer or two along a main route and people will slow. Catch the excessive speeders, but the presence alone will slow many many drivers (CLEARLY FUKIN GA DRIVERS KNOW THIS BECAUSE THEY SLOW DOWN WHEN THEY SEE A COP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY THATS DIVIDED.)

But this hiding crap and using unmarked cars that cannot be seen to get money is ridiculous.

You got that right.

OH LOOK A COP, LETS ALL SLAM ON OUR BRAKES AND CAUSE A WRECK.

Presence in this case is 95% successful to stop speeding.

I remember a video a while back a guy was mad at cars speeding past his home so he made a reflective police car type outline thing that looked like a police car sitting on the side of the road and it slowed a lot of people down. lol

[1000cckiller]

LOL, Officers don't have to sit anywhere with their lights on just for you to see them. Next, All we have to do is be visible up to 500ft. Also people don't slow in Ga just because they see a cop most of them slow down to be nosey. State Patrol can sit anywhere and radar/laser without you seeing them, they don't have to be visible. It's funny how much some of you complain about cops, but don't see anything wrong with how you drive. Maybe we should stop writing tickets, so if one of you gets killed by a reckless or a speeding or drunk driver, we can refer back to this thread.

Budgeting on a projection, ...

Here is a very pro-cop article that backs up with a study, exactly how they have a minimum amount of citations that they are to write each shift.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2194/is_4_68/ai_54636135/?tag=content;col1

Remember - this is a pro-cop article which is biased for them. Even then it focuses on revenue.

To all others - I have no problem with cops writing tickets, but don't kid yourself - they are not doing it because they get a warm and fuzzy feeling "to protect and to serve". They are writing tickets because they are told to by their superiors. Do you really think that the departments could get their funding from the city/county/etc general fund, if they weren't productive? If your a cop, ask the city manager how much revenue he expects to be generated through traffic enforcement this year, and how he arrived at his budget numbers.

[Elbow]

I don't think anyone ever said cops write tickets for fun.

[blaknoize]

Its the law within this state (OHIO) that an (and I believe any) law enforcement type be labeled properly and be visible within 500ft. Although this was directed at the OP, I am against it because anyone and everyone who drives deals with the ever hidden law officers of this country. I do drive fast and travel more than 60% of the yr so I am exposed to this quite often. I will forever incur tickets and use devices to aid me in my travels at reasonable speeds.

Also, u fail to acknowledge the difference between speeding and excessive speed that I've mentioned in my posts. I complain because I actually drive. I do not own a modded, lowers, high power car I get in trouble with. I'm a traveller. I find it unfair to slight speeders that go through areas that arent known to them when the speed drops from 65 to 55 and during that trip be ticketed in the area because they maintained 65 in cruise mode or other, just because.

It'd be different if I was yelling fuck the police, had a loud car, burnin up and down the highway, but on a trip of 500miles or more, it happens, the driver may be unaware, but the cops are just out to get u, just because.

They hide at the creasts of hills, in dips in the road, behind buildings, in clusters and teams on top of crossways. One cop on the bridge, one hidden just up ahead, in lots, unmarked off the roadway, in planes, boats and even in cars that TRY to race you. All that and the person driving is simply driving, like he/she was 100miles ago, 1 state ago. Speed trapping you is unfair.

If u want another example, get a credit card, buy something, pay on the credit card, make the same payments 4months in a row, then the credit card company fines u because your actual payment went down. U pay the fine and the total amount u would normally pay every month again. But this time, u have "points."

^I believe this is a horrible example lol but I'm rollin with it. Oh and about the headlights on at night, yes thats the law (the law is different obviously for the southern states I've been through)

Man, you people never give up. Regardless if the speed drops from 65 to 55, and you are still cruising at 65 you are still speeding. It is the job of every driver to be aware of their surroundings, which includes any signs which aids, or directs you. People have to stop making excuses, because if you have a accident what will you say then. It's funny how people believe that we write tickets to be assholes, but that's not the case. Also every ticket we write doesn't go to that city or county, a bunch of the go to the state, so you might want to ask the governor where that money goes.

Also, whats is the difference between speeding and excessive speeding? It's still breaking the law. Speeding and excessive speeding is done everyday by every driver, regardless if they admit it or not. The ones who always get caught are always the ones to complain.

[blaknoize]

Also, whats is the difference between speeding and excessive speeding? It's still breaking the law. Speeding and excessive speeding is done everyday by every driver, regardless if they admit it or not. The ones who always get caught are always the ones to complain.

The difference between the two? Flying through a neighborhood at 70-80, or 35 in a parking lot or 30 in a school zone are inexcusable. Driving down a freeway and the speed limit changes for 4 miles within the limits of some town of whom does not directly intercept the thoroughfare that has officers justa waiting to catch the next person who enters the area.

I'm not complaining about the "speed" part of this equation. I'm refering to the way in which it occurs. I am well aware that I will collect tickets all my life and I will pay for them, that doesnt bother me. Its the way in which it is carried out. Because, its Law, you can talk and talk about it. And if you happen to be one of those officers, good job at slowing and stopping us who speed. It helps, but skeeming to catch a driver is nonsense.

U must hardly travel long distance.

I agree with you on this one - especially the bolded part.


...It's still breaking the law. Speeding and excessive speeding is done everyday by every driver, regardless if they admit it or not.

I disagree on this. There are a lot of people who do not ever speed - even 1 mile per hour over the limit. My mother is one of those, as was my grandmother (she just quit driving recently at 94 with no accidents or tickets ever). There are plenty of people who do not speed, just as there are a lot of those who consistently speed.

I've made countless trips from Atlanta to Orlando and Miami, and have YET to be ticketed for speeding... and I ain't driving 55 all the way down. I go with the flow.

If I were to get a ticket for 1 MPH, yes I would gladly take it. But I believe it is more the way you drive. Do you cruise at a constant speed? or do you constantly change lane, tailgate, drive aggresively etc?

Most tickets are based on the way you drive. I have been stopped in Chattanooga around the 'bend' (river), and after being COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL, cop let me go.

Of course. Attitude will not get you anywhere but on IA bitching about cops......

I agree, I regularly drive from here to St. Pete (FL) which is where I am from and usually drive between 80-100mph unless traffic is really tight or I'm sticking out like a sore thumb. I've never been ticketed, I have no traffic violations, I've been pulled over a few times and let go, mainly because I'm nice (I think so at least) to the officers and don't put up a "don't fuck me pig" attitude.

I even got pulled over for no lights and had no insurance or registration plus no license on me and the cop just said he trusted I'd get it fixed (just got the car) and he let me go.

The only traffic thing I was fucked with was a Gnett cop which was a complete idiot. I had a thread here, he ticketed me for no insurance, the car wasn't mine, my insurance allows me to drive any car insured or not, he wouldn't verify that and told me he was getting every dime for the county he could. A couple court visits later it's no more.
