(he is refering to the cops here)

I don't agree with them being exempt from any law. Our gov't is supposed to be for the people, not cater to some of the people. Just because someone pins on a badge doesn't mean they are more responsible than anyone else. I graduated with three guys who became cops. One was a good feller in school and still is. The other two wanted to be bullies but couldn't, so they got a badge and gun. One of them was made to resign because he was harassing people, but immediately got a job with another local agency. He has since been fired from there. He really deserved a gun and dark windows.

Several years ago, a cop was killed in a nearby city and the man who shot him was released because it was in self-defense. Had this man not had a gun he would be dead!

I'm not saying all cops are like these, most are great men/women, but most citizens are also not criminals and we shouldn't be treated like we are. None of our freedom should be taken away! The whole reason for the law is because cops can't see in cars right? They can't see through house windows with curtains and wooden doors either, are mini-blinds and curtains going to be made illegal unless you're a cop? Glass front doors made mandatory? Sound rediculous? I hope so. That is how I see any law that is knit picky. Seat belt law included, and I have always worn mine even before it was a law.

Who said anything about catching them in the act? I said "catch them". Use the resources at hand, psychic or whatever, and concentrate on them! It don't take a psychic to know that if you are too busy checking tint and seatbelts to actively investigate REAL crime, REAL CRIMINALS will get away. My house was broken into when I was younger, the cops were called, no one showed. What good would a psychic be if they don't even respond to a call? They could use the time and effort wasted on seat belts and tint to better train the officers. Then again, I'm not a cop. I don't blame you for agreeing with the special treatment.


makes alot of sense and i wish cops would get off of us for making out own decisons as to what we want to do to our cars. sorry for dragging this on.. but it pisses me off.
