Planes are more dangerous than 2 cars hitting at 100mph each?
Steve, I can assure you it isn't like it in our city. The last ticket I wrote was a drunk 16 year old girl who ran up onto a sidewalk and almost took out a bunch of pedestrians. She came back into the roadway and almost took out my partner and I....fortunately, the only thing damaged was a trash can (concreted into the sidewalk) a light pole and the drivers window that fell victim to my flashlight when she refused to stop with me running beside her.
I'm sure I have better things to do with my time than to keep drunk kids off the sidewalks and in between the curbs, right?
As for patroling the rich business districts....yeah right. I wish our officers actually had the time to do that....we're too busy handling the crime in the 5 'projects' located within our city dealing with people Like This (fast forward to about 35 seconds in). ....When they stop shooting at each other and calling the police because their boyfriend won't leave after having sex (Hey guys...want to get rid of an annoying girlfriend....call the police and have them remove her.....then let her back and call the cops again because your tired of her complaining...then do it one more time for the fun of it).
Our guys would love to be out fighting crime and not babysitting 5 neighborhoods.
I know I'm biased in the 'for police' category, but I speed too (and have gotten tickets for it) so I'm guilty of that.
Not to get too far off topic, but here are some results of speeding and not paying attention:
