I agree with you there, but blame your local & state government who write the laws--not the cops who are sworn to uphold them.
I did, I put the blame where it belonged as well as stated that states, and their local city and townships, use law enforcement to raise revenue. I am only speaking to traffic violations, some are warranted, like going 40mph over a posted speed limit, in traffic, or in busy road ways etc, but many are not. If there is no one else on a turnpike at midnight and someone is doing 15mph over the speed limit there is no need to give a ticket for that.

There are two problems with that, first someone in law enforcement is hanging out where not needed and doing no service for their community where they could have been patrolling a neighborhood or business district.

I also understand that law enforcement is doing as told. They are not merely there to keep the public safe and to keep the peace but to bring in BIG BUCKS to their cities and states. That is not a myth it is a fact…
