Hylton I have plenty of cop friends and I have to say that the system has gone wacko. We need cops to be solving murders, looking for child molesters, kiddy porn and organized crime, not giving out tickets because you have no front plate.
Absolute joke - and to think police departments always cry about having no funding or going over budget. What a waste of taxpayers money....most cops will agree to what I've said as well, it's not them who give out the marching orders.

Hylton, I have a ton of respect for you and the advise that you give, however I have to disagree with you. I am not a "traffic cop" and I perfer to look for the "bad guys". Nobody likes getting pulled over when they break the law, myself included. Things like this happen all the time:

The only way law enforcement has a chance to prevent this is to pull people over for traffic violations.
If we didn't issue traffic citations you couldn't drive on the road without being in fear for you life, because of the way people would drive. You guys see all the time, people driving with their heads up their brown eye.
Of course, now you guys are gonna start in on the well, I see you "cops" doing all the time. Like I said in my post earlier, untill you've been there you wont understand. I will still go above the speed limit, if I think that the extra minutes I save will make a difference to someone's life or safety.

greenrail Yanno, it's nice to see some of the Nation's Finest, expressing some realistic viws about being an Officer of the law.
What saddens me the most is when a select few spoil that.
My family and I had lived in a small town in another state. One night for no reason what-so-ever, an officer followed my wife home into our driveway for no reason. This was very upsetting. If you knew my wife, you would know she is as straight an arrow as they can be.
These same officers also had developed a pattern of blatant intimidation to other members of my family.
I fully respect the Officers who conduct their business with respect and honor to the general public. No issues there. You are to be commended.
It's just the bad apples that ruin it for the others. (just like in virually any profession.)
