The fact is you shouldnt be able to get out of a ticket no matter who you are. The limit is the limit. If you are doing 46 in a 45, yes you are speeding and can get a ticket for it. Dont hate on the people who enforce the laws because the fact is when it really matters you will be calling them to save your ***.
Yeah dude, I am one of those who also say just because you wear a badge doesnt mean you can break the law... You enforce it. The only time you can break the law as an officer IMO is if it will save someones life so I dont wanna hear it  |
the point is not to see other cops get tickets, even though karma is a b!tch and it's good to see them taste their own medicine. the point is that they cost a lot of tax money to train and earn a lot of taxpayer funded salary, so they should be used for something that actually benefits society and gives them a return on investment. like fighting actual crime not to harass and inconvenience innocent people because of a little bit of speed.
as for those speed limits they are outdated and full of BS and you know it. they haven't been modernized in decades! it's nothing more than a money making business for the city, just to raise revenue for themselves. a whole industry designed just to fleece innocent people. all for money, money for the city, money for the courts, money for the paralegals that motorists hire to defend them, and even more money for the cops to cover their overtime pay for going to court. case in point, last year some low level constable with traffic enforcement over here was able to double his base salary from 80 to 160k in the year by racking up tons of overtime going to court dates. parking enforcement is also a similar scam. that too is all about fleecing people, and not facilitating parking.
as for the last part, maybe that's your attitude, but don't try and claim that other cops are like that. and don't try to convince me that many cops don't often wink wink nudge nudge when their off duty colleagues speed, run stop signs and red lights, violate traffic laws, etc....
