114 pollice officers killed in the line of duty this year. How many got weeks of national media coverage, and demonstrations to stop violence against police?
RT: Police are ordered by politicians to emphasize speed enforcement, and bring in revenue. Radar/laser has increased the revenue stream, glad your guy was like so many that were polite. Maybe it’s because even the most rampant “statistics gatherers” in the safety community know that speeds in excess of the limit are actually responsible for less than 5% of fatal accidents. (usually single vehicle) Failure to yield right of way is actually the leading cause, along with DUII (in over 50% of fatal accidents).
The police ARE therefore serving the elected masters the public put over them. Like selling “singles” on the street and irritating the powers that be, laws/regulations targeted for enforcement are not always what the police themselves would choose.
