Arent cops just revenue agents for the state?

Question

Arent cops just revenue agents for the state? They don't stop crime, there always at the crime scene after the incident, and traffic violation tickets arent to enforce safety, but just to make money for the state. I mean think about it, do you get a ticket for smoking a ciggaret while the baby is in the car?

Answer 1

yes today they are

Answer 2

Yes, cops can bring in revenue, but there are some big holes in what you're saying. Do you think cops should arrive at the crime scene BEFORE the happens?(stupid) As it is happening?(unrealistic) Have you ever been to a country where traffic cops do not ticket and enforce traffic laws? If you have ever been to one, you know it is a f****** mess.

So yes, cops can bring in money for a city, but they definitely have a purpose and for the most part, they genuinely want to help.

Answer 3

The state loses money enforcing the law. Try figuring out how much it cost to have a policeman on the street. Don't forget the support people at the station and the cost of the building. You know how much gas cost, how many tanks of gas does a police car burn in a day?

To make matters even worst. What does it cost if they catch someone that goes to jail? Court cost, cost for operating a jail, etc.

OK how many $150 tickets does that police office have to right to pay for all those cost? Don't forget he needs time to complete paper work and appear in court if someone pleads "not guilty".

No they are not there to be "revenue agents".

Answer 4

Sometimes I think the same thing. But I have gotten to know several policemen and I can say that they all sincerely care about their fellow man and really are their to help, even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it.

I believe some police departments do have an amount of tickets they are expected to write - but this is not a confirmed fact. From what I have observed, if you keep your speed reasonable and don't weave in and out of traffic like a lunatic; and obey the rules of the road you shouldn't have any problems. I'm happy to report that when I've needed them my local police department has always been there for me, which is a great comfort to me.

Answer 5

on the grounds that even as is a State Agent, no longer a member of the regular public. the position did you conjure up this idea procedure from. we are all public servants. Indecent publicity is the unlawful exposing of ones privates, to a unique human being, prepared or unwilling, regardless of the area used (public or inner most), to make the publicity commonly used or a act of flagellation. Even the publicity of a unadorned bottom or breasts can characterize unlawful publicity. in the adventure that your theory is sweet, then why do all of us no longer walk round freely as a nudest, why do we must have a secret section to be exposing in, or a club to belong to do this?

Answer 6

In a way yes. Trying to "balance the budget". I disagree with the citation thing. That's judge, jury and hangman all in one. Of course you can challenge the ticket in court. But who is the judge going to believe? Then you'll have to pay the ticket anyway, plus the "court costs". It's a big mess.

Answer 7

you have to know what you are talking about in order to ask such a question cops are the first one people call when there's a problem they risk there lives to save ours and your they also cannot be everywhere at once so how can you blame them ? you need a shrink because i think your a dummy god bless the cops for doing what they are and i hope they bust you for something

Answer 8

No,revenue agents are with the IRS............ DUH!!!!! Cops are the law, revenue agents are pee on's compared to the law.
The guys at the crime scene after the cops are called are ususlly criminal investigators,they investigate the crime.

Answer 9

No, they are Law Enforcement!
