[QUOTE="carrrnuttt, post: 8763619, member: 10844"] You're showing your bias and a lack of critical thinking with this post--or maybe you just managed to mis-explain yourself. You yourself mentioned that in the town this was happening in, there were only 178 people. It wouldn't be that hard to imagine anything being raked in by its corrupt leaders easily going back to the individual cops. If anything, the tickets were to justify their jobs and existence, even if there weren't any kickbacks. I do agree with you with most other big-city situations though. BUT with a caveat: Though the traffic officers might not be in direct collusion in any scheme to gain revenue via tickets, it doesn't mean that the city/county officials that order stepped up traffic enforcement and/or "task forces" are not thinking in this manner. Articles and reports were published that saw trending towards stepped up traffic enforcement after certain cities and counties lost revenue. I'm not going to argue with an individual officer about simply doing his job, especially considering whoever he tickets has to be violating something in the first place, BUT I will question the motives of the politicians in this regard when I notice the trends. Is that okay with you? [/QUOTE]
