Hi, kids..I would like to say that I am one of these"pigs", some of you speak of. I personnaly know Dimitri and he will tell you I'm a pretty cool person, despite the fact I have a curly tail! I have said it before,there are some cops that abuse the power given them.This makes people believe we are all a$$holes.I work in Dayton,Oh, and have worked for 2 other agencies. Some small depts. use traffic to " pay the bills". Anyone who wonders why we are never there when you need them. I challenge you to do a ride along in a large city near you, and see why they aren't there. I, just Tuesday night spent 5 hours of a ten hour shift on a homicide. I was second on the scene and watched another officer hold a towel to the neck of a 22 year old guy that was shot, sitting in a car with his girlfriend. I had to tell this guy he was gonna be o.k., as his blood pumped out,despite my efforts to control it. Then I got to sit with the girl friend,covered in his blood and try to find out who did this.Some of you [censored] about getting a ticket for driving like an a$$,guess what in Suburbia that's what cops do.
Most speed traps are the product of grants, which means those officers are on a zero tolerance assignment because of accident figures. Alibies,the seat belt is not a moving violation and is no points,just $ out of your pocket.
Civicsmoker, I didn't know an imaginary 62' Vette would do a 105.Or were you driving the neighbors BMW.
Being a cop is a thankless job,try going to work and think that most everyone you come in contact with,secretly hates you and some would like nothing more than to see you dead. That's my job as a PIG. Sorry for the rant.
Rod
