cuz then i call the cops with the cell phone and show them a picture of some maniac beating some guy to death.WARider said:
Maniac? You must of never gotten anything stolen, or never been done wrong by some "Fvck"!? I never said beat the guy to death, just a nice jolt to put him down and a few battered shin bones to keep him from running is all you need to do, that's when I reach into my coat pocket for the cell phone because the b!tch @ss ain't going anywhere now except into the cop car "once" they arrive. Cops(no offense) mostly "follow up" on what happens, not really prevent much. They're too busy collecting their paycheck in frivolous speeding tickets. How many times do you see them out in full force on Sunday morning's when your heading to church or a ride? I mean, who wants to get a ticket on the way to church or an epic ride? They should be parking their @ss in a bush where things have been reported like out at Seatac instead of at the bottom of some huge hill off I5 in a spot where most everyone ends up going 5+ over because of the gravity effect.Fast&Smooth said:
people who can't obey the law, don't want the ticket.. don't speed, sorry to sound like an ass but if you cant afford a ticket on the way to church that's an issue one can handle himselfWARider said:
LOL...it's not really an issue of affordability but rather an issue of why are they always out on Sunday mornings when everyone is off to something pleasant. I never see them out in the rain, or during mid-week when there's actual road rage going on from all the people trying to get home. No, I only see them on nice sunny Sunday's out there at 7am sharp. "One nation under God"? Tickets to people who don't brake all the way down a hill just to keep it at 60mph on Sunday morning seems more like an act against God and or if your an atheist, just plain and simply a money making issue. You talk about solutions or suggestions, here's one for you. Why don't the cops patrol the shady neighborhoods where drugs and sex sell? Why aren't they setting up a sting operation in places like Tiger Mtn., Victor falls, or in this case SeaTac to bust the common thief who is causing havic? Why aren't they in the shopping malls busting the thiefs who stuff their sacks full of goods only to return them to get cash which in return hikes up my jean and shirt costs? Why are they only out during sunny Sunday mornings at the bottom of hills with their speed traps? Because it all comes down to money! Why not book a broke @ss thief? Because it costs money to jail, house, feed, watch, and judge. Why not, because they can be out there on nice sunny days collecting high ticket fee's that don't require money to be spent to do so, at least not the kind of money it takes to book some common criminal who just drags down the system and our pocket books. The thing is, suggestions are just that, it doesn't really matter what I say, or who I vote for, etc etc., things will continue to be the same as they have been since day one. I did serve my country, and when I brought up ideas to create a better way of doing things, they normally just got shot down by some dumb fvck who had more "time" in than me and because he was too ignorant to accept change, things continued the way they had been for decades. That's the problem with our government, any ole joe can be in charge, as long as he "does what he's told too" and puts his "time" in. You asked for a suggestion? Well there you go, bring some of these questions up with you buddies the next time your setting up a speed trap on easter Sunday in some ridiculous location that just about everyone I know ends up going 5 mph over just because they didn't ride their brakes all the way down the hill. I'm sure your a good guy, most people who serve are and like I said before, I'm not against you or our fellow serving citizen, I'm against how everything is set up because its all for one thing...MONEY!thesacrifice said:
I haven't gotten a ticket since Jan 2002.(knock on wood) I just observe everything and analyze situations objectively and what I've come to notice is that police officers are always set up in spots that are very easy for the average person to speed non-intentionally, like at the bottom of hills. I've also noticed that they are always out in full force on Sundays for some odd reason. As I stated up top, I don't disrespect the law, or the enforcers, I just find it odd that no matter what state you are in, the "ticketeer's" pull the same moves, and believe me, I've lived in just about every part of this country and spent many hours driving throughout. The issue at hand was theft in parking lots where people of our nature leave our vehicle's to go have some fun for hours on end. All I was trying to say was that why don't they just keep an eye out in "Known" area's for this type of activity rather than the alternative. My educated guess was stated in my last statement for this reason and that is it's more cost effective for them to be ticketing citizen's rather than booking some junkee who's stealing to get his next fix. For the average citizen, this case sucks because not only are we getting our sh!t stolen, but we get a ticket on the way home for speeding down some hill because were pissed off that we have a broken door or window and our acquired goods missing.Tacoma Lad said:
That's the point--they want you to keep your speed under control at all times. But I still do think that there is, shall we say, a demographic bias in ticket-giving. For example, a few of my friends have gotten tickets for driving 5 mph over the limit (two of those times, I was in the car with them, so I know they weren't lying), whereas I often see people on the freeway who drive like absolute lunatics, i.e. they pass you in the shoulder at literally 90 mph. On the other hand, police can't be everywhere, but I think they should spend more time on the freeways, and less time catching people out in suburbia who are barely even above the speed limit.WARider said:
