I used to live in a town like that. They would send a cop to the only red light in town on foot. He would walk the median strip and issue tickets for not wearing a seat belt. He was not allowed to return to his car or to the station until he had twenty tickets written.

Some days the poor SOB would be out there for ten hours COMPLAINING that "everyone is wearing their seatbelt".

Here in the northeast municipalities are dependent on this nonsense; remember the stink when cops slowed their ticket-writing to protest against DeBlasio? People were shocked at the revenue figures tossed about at the time; most cops here are revenue agents, nothing less. In my town people would complain that the street sweeper wouldn’t even have its brush down when it passed; it was simply putting on a show to justify tickets...
