    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.
    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.

    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.
