Right next to it, but I still did not run it.

Take the needed money from the currently seized assets that the state LEO's confiscate from alleged drug related seizures. No wait, that money must go to further arm the many PD's SWAT teams so that they can get all decked out like RAMBO while issuing these citations to citizens and all the while hoping citizens will just make their day by looking at them cross-eyed.

Get more tickets seems to be the order of business for counties short of cash. Our local Sheriff deputies were told to get between 5-8 a day. What gets me is its a mainly retired community where they have more sheriffs per square mile than the NYPD has in Manhattan. Do we need so many sheriffs? Its not like the Seniors have created a major crime area, unless you consider having a license plate frame on you car a crime. I’ve seen 4 cars at once parked in a side road where the sheriffs were apparently holding a meeting or just hanging out. ;o)
