Got a biased ticket

I hate cops too, they are never around when you need them. Although I've meet 2 decent ones out of many my whole life so they are not all that bad.

They may not always have time for you because they're busy managing the lives and raising the children of other imbeciles.

i feel u dude, i just got pulled over last week on a highway for going 15 over the speed limit (the limit is 55) i think its such bull****************-waste of my time and money...cops have nothing better to do then pull people over for "tints" and speeding 5 over...who actually goes 55 on an expressway?

as for the girl, man forget her- ull find someone who'll be good to u and sometimes its actually nice to be single and have a life of your own...i just broke up with my girlfriend and i feel better then ever. :-)

+1 on the fuzz. When I go in to new orleans, the murder capital of the US, they have motorcyle cops hiding behind the bridge on I-10 with a radar gun at 6:00 A.M. Meanwhile the same day a buddy I work with gets his truck broken into and the cop says "It's not worth calliing us over this"

Do you really think their priorities are straight? 99% of our murders are not attempted to be solved, but if you go 80 in a 70, you will be dragged out your car in rush hour traffic to risk your life while a citation is written. Obviously, cops are not all this way, it just rubs me the wrong way.

As for the girl, enjoy being single. It's more fun. The settle down/marriage/kids come quick and before you know it, you will be wondering what it was like to be able to "experiment" with young chicas.

Max,

1) Motorcycle traffic cops are not homicide detectives. Motorcycle traffic cops write traffic tickets. Homicide detectives work homicides. Two completely different jobs.

2) Cops do not determine staffing levels; politicians do. Governors and Mayors make stupid speeches and campaign promises and then hand them down to Police Chiefs to accomplish. Police Chiefs declare those promises priorities and hand those priorities down through the ranks. Colonels, Majors, Captains, etc divide up their resources and determine their staffing levels to best accomplish the politicians' empty promises. In the end, the poor cop goes where he is assigned to go and accomplishes the task he has been directed to accomplish. It helps if the politician who started the whole chain of events is not a friggin' wacko, which doesn't seem to be the case in your state.

From a recent news article regarding New Orleans' homicide rate...

"Incredibly, the killing fields of New Orleans do not appear to rank high as a concern among state and local officials. The mayor, Ray Nagin, has been silent in the face of the sort of mass killing that occurred and often dismissive of it. This summer, he told a group of reporters that the murder rate "keeps the New Orleans brand out there."

You see, New Orleans' Mayor thinks the murder rate is a friggin' tourist attraction. It's easy to blame the cop, because he's most visible, but the cop's not the problem. The people who dictate the priorities and the idiots who vote for them. They're the problem. I don't know any real cops who wouldn't rather be chasing killers than speeders. Do you remember how Timothy McVeigh was caught? He was caught by an alert Traffic Officer who pulled him over for a license plate violation.

I da no though, these 2 troopers were laughing and talking in the cruiser while i waited. they seemed sadistic. i agree that cops are good. but this particular cop was bored and pissy.

Irrespective, the point of all this is that the guy got a ticket for a violation that he deserved. The rest is just whinning about how he got picked on. If you think there should not be tint laws, call your local poliiticiian and get a lesson how responsive THEY are to your needs.

If the guy got a ticket for a violation that he didn't do, he would have a legitimate beef.

Face it guys, he deserved the ticket. :dance:

Lets let the cops do their job. Believe me, you wouldn't want to have to deal with all you whinners on a daily basis.
