Again, if the information you relayed was transmitted accurately, then the officer involved, aside from being full of Chit, obviouly fell into one of the above catagories:lmao:
I'd take him on in court any day of the week....but wouldn't suggest it for those not well versed with the "system". Frankly, taking the "deal" was probably about as cheap as lawyering up. Unfortunately it still leaves a bad taste in everyones mouth
As they say, "Good news" rarely sells papers
It truly is a very small minority that make the majority look bad
Just like clergy, acconutants, or a host of other professions and occupations where a few bad apples ruin the entire barrell.
To clairfy a couple of points, the laws generally (not all inclusive mind you) are not enacted to generate revenue. It's the politicians that abuse them and malign the intent that make a lot of them bad.
And for the record, having "been there and done that", I can state with reasonable certainty, that most LEO's would rather be out putting real criminals in jail than writing tickets. Sure, we have the traffic houds and those who particulary like working traffic, and it's great that we do. I've found that these types do it truly out of a desire to save lives:thumbsup:
Other than you piddly assed little po-dunk speed traps we all know and love, I don't know too many officers that write tickets just to generate revenue.
That said, when you have a Sergeant, Lt., Captain, Major, Colonel, or Sheriif/Chief of Police "suggesting" that we "increse our enforement efforts" you're going to do what you have to do...it's a matter of survival......
It's a sad state we've come to....
