Here in Canada, I've noticed that police officers are always on the prowl to give tickets to people driving over the speed limit, etc. (by the way I've never gotten one, and probably never will...am a good citizen, so don't even go there lol)
But yes, I know someone who got one for jaywalking!!
I just have to wonder why cops will tend to sit in their cars waiting for the next guy to make a "small" screw up, while real, dangerous criminals are going free?
I would personally feel much safer if those offenders were behind bars...anyway, I was wondering, if psychologically, these cops are just afraid of getting into a scary situation and that's why they avoid it? or is it just eaiser to sit in their car and hide around a bend, waiting for a speeder, than to go out there and chase down a criminal?
I'm asking in all honesty, because I see this a lot and have always wondered about psychological motivations for police officers? (not to offend anyone, just curious). Thanks :)
