Answer 2

Do you remember how Timothy McVeigh was caught after he blew up the Federal Bldg. in Oklahoma City?
Oh, I do... he was stopped for a traffic violation! It has been proven through studies and practical experience that criminals drive to get where they are going.
When burglars leave your crib after breaking into it, do you think they hop a helicopter? Maybe cruise in a submarine? Guess again, we just covered the answer.
I know it's a pain in the behind when you get a ticket, I understand, I had tickets when I was growing up.
Tickets are kind of like playing the lottery for you and the cops. You have a pretty fair chance of getting by with speeding once in awhile, or if you go say...5 over the speed limit, kind of like betting small at a casino. You don't bet much, you don't lose much.
When cops win at the traffic enforcement casino, they get to take anything from a speeder with drugs or guns in the car, to a terrorist like TImothy McVeigh
I know most people's only contact with the Police is tickets, and that is why I tried to be very courteous and polite when I dealt with citizens. Speed and other violations really do cause accidents, DUI is probably the only potentially violent crime against other citizens (like running over your kids, etc.) that we can intervene in.
I apologize for any officers that have been rude to you in the past, just remember they are doing a difficult job that most people don't appreciate. I am not saying that you should have a love-fest for the Police, but try and think about it from our point of view.

Answer 3

If you had a job, which I'm sure you don't, I would compare this to your job so that you would understand. But since you don't have a job, I will rephrase your question as if it were addressed to a job at a grocery store. Then I'll answer it.

Do grocery store cashiers ever piss you off? When you go to the deli and there they are just standing around and not wanting to make your sandwich. Aren't there sandwiches to be made, egg salad to be mixed, chicken strips to be fried, But no, they only have time to take your stupid money when you check out.

Now the answer. All laws need to be enforced just like all roles in a grocery store need to be filled. The cashier doesn't make your sandwich because she is the cashier, not the sandwich maker. Some cops work traffic enforcement. They write tickets. They don't work on murders or drug houses. They keep those of us who abide the law safe from people like you by writing you tickets and slowing you down.

Slow down and get a job...

Answer 4

Is ten miles over illegal? Yes.
People who speed kill people, cause injuries, maim people. Many people who speed also show disregard for other laws as well and often have warrants, drugs and guns.
Many serious crimes are stopped and/or solved by traffic stops and traffic tickets. The son of sam was caught by a parking ticket. Timothy McVeigh was stopped for a missing liscense plate. A police officers job is very varied. While catching murders may be a part, its just that. A part. My town hasn't had a murder in decades. Should the cops do nothing?
Sounds like you got a ticket and are bitter. Grow up. You broke the law.
As a speeder, you are MORE of a dangerous to the average person than drug houses, murderers or burgulars.
Pay your ticket and grow up.

Answer 5

The perfect cop? Try this:

To a Police Chief, the perfect cop is someone who looks sharp, works hard and doesn't expect overtime pay, makes good arrests without offending anyone, writes detailed reports and keeps a neat, readable activity log. He is also always available when extra help is needed, accepts work assignments willingly and comes up with fast, favorable
results. In short, a perfect cop is someone who makes the Chief look good.

To a Prosecuting Attorney, a perfect cop is a meticulous investigator who gathers and documents evidence, obtains confessions to all crimes and outlines each case in order to make the prosecutor's job easy. He doesn't object when a case is plea bargained so the attorneys can go golfing on Friday afternoon, and doesn't mind if an offender gets
probation or a suspended sentence because it is more convenient to make a deal than go to trial.

To a Defense Attorney, a perfect cop is a bungling idiot who makes mistakes and someone the defense attorney can manipulate and make angry in court, making the attorney look good in front of his client. A perfect cop is someone who will agree to any and all plea bargaining proposed, and whom the defense attorney can call when he needs
protection from his own client.

To the City Council, a perfect cop is someone who does his job well without making waves, who is grateful for a job that he willingly works nights, weekends and holidays. He never asks for more than the city is willing to pay, does an exemplary job without adequate equipment and tools. Best of all, he never writes tickets on any council member or their kid.

To the People of the Community, a perfect cop is polite, a friendly person who walks the beat and checks out strange noises and watches for strange people. He teaches kids right from wrong, talks to them about the evils of drug use-but doesn't mention Mom and Dad using alcohol. He will arrest drug dealers, but overlooks kids with a "little" pot.

To his Wife, a perfect cop never lets his job effect his emotions. He can spend hours dealing with drunks, domestics, drug users, injured or dead people, and then come home and be a loving, well-adjusted husband and father.

I have been a cop for over 5 years, and have never met a perfect cop. Only a few have even come close, being totally honest and truly caring about people and doing the best job they can.

But all the cops I have ever known are human. They love, laugh, cry, hurt, and sometimes die too young. They try to make it to retirement, although many do not. Divorce is common. Some become alcoholics and some suffer from "police stress", seen in a variety of emotional disorders or heart attacks. Our job is often described as 98% boredom and 2% sheer terror.

Why do we do it? We don't really know. I hope it's because we simply care about right and wrong.

Answer 6

It's their job to write you a ticket if you break the law. What exactly is your guide for how badly the law must be broken before they should act? If someone mugs you, but only gets away with $5, should they turn a 'blind eye' to that, too?

If you don't want a speeding ticket, don't speed!

Silly goose!

Answer 7

the only time I ever go more than 5 mph over the speed limit is on the thruway.

Answer 8

I'll give ya the real poop., bottom line radar & laser can't be disputed in court.Red light runners, illegal lane changes,bad driving can.every cop has to put his or her time in at patrol.though to me,this is not what being a cop is all about.i get what you're saying., it simply comes down to a cop doing what he or she is trained & told to do...

Answer 9

It would piss me off more if they didnt stop a speeder, that is what they get paid to do, and thet speeder might be a drunk driver that will kill my mommy.

Answer 10

it's necessary if you don't want to get hurt,let me guess you got a ticket

Answer 11

It doesn't matter the country is turning into a police state. Even sheep are better than us. At least they don't keep themselves in line. Humans police humans.
