You could of avoided all of this if you had said that right from the beginning. My hubby is a cop and he is not a criminal as well....but he sure understands the frustration from citizens who run into criminal cops! He has no sympathy for cops who choose to go down the criminal path just as he has no sympathy for citizens who choose to go down the criminal path.

BTW....sorry about the Castro comment! :-}

"...I think traffic enforcement fines are complete BS revenue generators..."

In other words there should be no penalty for driving 45 in a 15 MPH school zone, or reckless driving, or any other driving offense? They only cite people in order to raise money? Safety be screwed?

What do you propose?

What do you propose?

I propose taking fine revenue away from PDs and localities, and watch the pigs squeal.

"Might we inquire into your profession?"

Sure you can: I'm the president and ceo of a small software company. In my earlier life (before retirement), I spent 30 plus years as a hardware and software engineer for a LARGE computer company. I won't name the company, but you can probably guess within one or two, because most computer companies havn't been around for 30 plus years.

"I propose taking fine revenue away from PDs and localities, and watch the pigs squeal. "

I suspect an agenda driven hate here. First, I don't know about your locale but here in AZ, fines go to the city coffers and NOT directly to the PD (pig dept. in your hate filled mind).

Why don't you go to Iraq. They don't have a PD as yet. Be sure to parade your ass around with this same attitude. I will send flowers to your NoK!

That's why fine revenue must be taken away from LOCALITIES as well as PDs.

For example, in Colorado, there was a proposal to take all fine revenue and put it in a statewide school aid budget.

And the pigs did squeal like the little piggy money-grubbers they are, showing that it is, in fact, all about the money.

And just why were you turned down at the Police Academy?

Your disdain for authority is truely sad. I deal with cops daily and find MOST to be dedicated, hard-working and honest. The rads tend to disappear from the force rather quickly. You see, honest cops don't like them either.
Actually, they have about the same rate of shit-heads as the Priesthood, doctors and television newscasters.

What is your 'profession'?

[eno_]

Strictly mathematically speaking, most priests are not flaming chickenhawks, either. But the rate of flaming chickenhawking in the priesthood is 5X-10X that of the general population.

Police work similarly attracts a population of bad personalities. You made the comparison. Limp wristed purple cassocked priest, or steroid case no-neck cop, which is better? Both professions need serious house-cleaning.
