[quote=freakonaleash1187]there was this article about police given more tickets out than ever in my local newspaper. the last quote from a policeman said something on the lines that they don't like giving citations out, but they do it to hopefully stop people from speeding. i call bs on that quote. if you dont like giving citations out, then why do you sit in a little spot with your radar haning out the window....QUOTE]
DUH, because most people see them and then slow down. Therefore, less speeders.
Of course they don't really like giving citations...they have to actually get out of the car, oftentimes in inclement weather, and then deal with some jackass. Hence why they don't usually bother for less than 10 over the limit.
