I am tired of these cops trying to harass people going 5 miles over the speed limit and ignoring the drug dealers! They hide in hidden spots and then turn their blue lights on to innocent people! I am SICK of their sneaky behavior. Report harassment to chief police! They don't need to be using quotos!

Soooo... YOU should be allowed to break the law just because you're going only 5 mph over the speed limit. Hey, 5 mph is hardly anything, right? The police should ignore people breaking the law, UNLESS its drug dealing. I get it. Its all clear to me now! Whew. Thanks for clearing that one up! I'll feel a lot better knowing that the police are going to let people speed, and concentrate their whole effort on catching drug dealers. I'm sure that the streets will be much safer and free of accidents now that police aren't going to harrass anybody. andy

You want to see some arrogant police? head to Dayton OH. They lurk in hidden spots and pull out those blue lights! They will lie on you and it is your word against theirs and guess who wins? Them! Ohio police are terrors! There are too many of them. But let a robbery happen and it will take them hours to get there! They harass good people and go easy on the thugs!

to uh, All you have to do is drive the speed limit and you don't have to worry. If they say you were going over, and you in fact weren't, get your speedometer checked, and if it is not correct get an official letter stating such. However, if you willingly go over the speed limit, then you do not have any right to complain about the police pulling you over for breaking the law. It's just like playing football. There are inherent risks invovled. You could get injured in a tackle. You could dislocate your finger trying to catch the ball. You could pull a hamstring. BUT, these are inherent risks that are accepted when a participant plays football. The same goes for going over the speed limit. The inherent risk is that you could get picked up for speeding. Sucks, don't it? It's the "you play, you pay" philosophy. You play the game of speeding, perhaps you'll get away with it most of the time. But, there's always that chance. andy

uh: Terry: Do you have any proof of this? Do you know for sure that the police are not looking for drug dealers and "thugs"? Did the police tell you that they were not looking for drug dealers/thugs? And did they tell you that they take 3 hours to get to a robbery? uh: Well... DUH!!!! if the police were to sit in plain sight and advertise their presence, what good would that do? Speeders would slow down for a little bit, then speed up again. The hiding and sneaky behavior is pretty much a no brainer. uh: I know from first hand experience that calling up the police chief (state trooper in my experience -- a supposedly abandoned vehicle that got towed, and I had to pay $187 to get my car back from impound... long story, not for this message) will most likely result in no change in decision on their part. ESPECIALLY if you were clearly in the wrong as far as the law is concerned, no matter how practical the situation seemed to you. The police chief will tell you that the police officer's action was commendable and the chief would have done the same. Do you know for sure about the quotas? Do you have numbers to support your claim? I'm curious, uh/Terry... how old are you? Sounds like a 16 year old who just got their license and got their 3rd ticket, or is just whining because they got caught. Boo hoo. Grow up. andy
