But the truth of the matter is that they're quite the @ssholes and they don't mind hassling you whenever they get a wild hair and if you question it when they approach you they will make your life miserable.

Sounds like the endless number of 'speed traps' in good ole MD that go under the guise of 'SAFETY' for the highways. In their case though, they not only get to look you over but they generate 'revenue' at the same time...a double whammy for justice.

I complained to my governor and got a very nice letter from the Superintendent of State Police citing how these 'revenue generating speed traps' were not only making the highways safer but helping to identify criminals and terrorists.

I haven't actually figured out how to respond (or if I will) to this insult to my intelligence.

It's everywhere..including Georgia.

It most definately fills the State Coffers or they wouldn't do it. Like so many Law enforcement agencies across the country they simply do it for the revenue. The War on Drugs is simply a scam to make money, ask any cop about it and if they're honest they'll tell you the same thing. It's unfortunate because most cops are upstanding citizens, but like most govt's whether it's Federal, State or Local, they're looking to make money off of their constituents.
