Phatr1s,
You don't get it. The fines from your tickets don't go to Law Enforcement, they get fed into all kinds of other areas. Take a look at this example from Michigan. The majority of traffic fine dollars go to libraries. I am sure that really motivates cops to write tickets. http://house.michigan.gov/hfa/PDFs/traf.pdf Take a look at page 27 and 28. "In the case of the State Police, the department receives a portion of the revenue generated by traffic tickets issued by its troopers; the revenue generated by the three $5 assessments applied to most traffic citations is appropriated to the State Police budget." "The department is the end recipient, however, of less than $6 (Table 5 shows an estimate of $5.87) for each citation it issues; the remainder of the assessment revenue is distributed to other agencies." Six dollars, hardly seems worth the time and risk. |

Probably the gun control laws.
The police in Europe are incredibly polite (while they take your money). When I was living in Europe, I was shocked at how respectful the police consistently are. They don’t have to worry about someone pulling a gun on them quite like they do in the US. Most police in the US will lighten up when they see you are no threat. Still, there is a significant percentage that let their power go to their head. Its unfortunate that the job too often comes with an attitude (at least in this country). There are enough bad apples to give the whole country’s police force a bad rap. Quote:

Seriously some people don't like dark tint on cars; I do. Each to their own but WTF does it have to do with "gangstas". Stupidest comment I've heard today.

cant really do much bout it... i was given a ticket for tinted taillights before and i tried to bring it to court... no luck there because the court will still believe whatever the cop says and nothing you do to your tint will change that. i say just pay it and forget it... i went to court and i had to pay the fine anyway... it was $150 by the way
