How long before police are on commission? Or are they already.

Would the tactics used by some at the illegal immigration checkpoints work here? There are some very interesting videos on YouTube showing just how little “legal” authority law enforcement has at these. Basically keep asking if you are being detained, and are you free to go?

Actually it is illegal to get extra pay for doing your job unless your a federal agent. the FBI regularly gives it’s agents cash bonuses for cases they worked.

Most cops see a dead kid or two from DWI and really want to stop it believe it or not. Maybe if you saw a few mangled kids where you couldn’t tell the pizza that had flipped out of the box from the kid who was bringing it home, you would take a different view too.

Although you’re being sarcastic, the answer is “sort of, in a way”.

Police officers get a chance to earn overtime around here for court appearances and it can be pretty lucrative.

Asset forfeiture.

A Shakedown by any other name.

A medieval concept, the police get to keep the spoils.
