Illegal immigrants are commiting real crimes, overrunning our schools, towns, and hospitals, unchecked.

Drugs are dealt on the corner, unchecked.

Yet the police worry about someone driving a car too fast while ignoring real crimes.

THAT, my FRiend, is what is upsetting to me and many others.

I’m not engaging here in a value judgement on what crimes should be more important in terms of LE priorities. I’m only commenting regarding this particular incident. I agree with you that LE organizations do not always allocate resources appropriately, or target the crimes that are of the most importance to stop. However, since I commute a lot of miles I do know that speeding and reckless driving is a huge problem in this country. I can’t tell you the number of near head-on collisions I’ve had to avoid over the course of the past 10 months because of people who are driving just too damned fast, but it’s well into double digits.
