Fuck Cops...Really.

[XanRules]

powdered sugar on your fingers, coffee on your shirt
bribes in your pocket, you never do any work
you fat fucking slob you just sit in a car
until you get off work then it's back to the bar

you fucking pig!
you're a fucking cop!

you never catch any crooks but harass everyone else
your fat fingers don't fit the trigger
you're too slow to catch a nigger
you're a suburban cop because you're scared of the city
you broke a stool at dunkin donuts
because you're so fucking fat

you fucking pig!
you're a fucking cop!

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/m...g=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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Different states have different laws and enforcement methods. As most of the posters on this site are in GA, they should know the GA Code: http://www.lexis-nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/

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......

soooo.... you're NOT a black. right?

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.
