Yeah there are some bad ones. I've gotten one before I know its true. But this guy doesnt realize that not ALL cops are that way and not ALL cops write speeding tickets lol. NYPD has its own traffic unit then the other guys who patrol just looking for real crime.

Memphis does, too...a seperate Traffic division...and then to further break that down, each precinct in the city will generally have their own Radar cars as well as UP for regular calls...and I'd imagine most large cities will have a similar set-up.
Thats not to say that UP doesn't run tags or violators when not on calls...supervisors generally stay on them to be doing something, and a violator is almost the easiest thing to find in a pinch...but people get so pissed off that they got stopped in the first place...as if it were the officers fault that they got caught speeding. Lets not forget that a great deal of felons and warrants are caught doing what? Routine traffic stops. |

Good luck with that, man. Once you get out of the academy and onto the streets with your ride-along and ward partner...I'd imagine you'll start seeing a whole world of new things you've only read about...much respect and props to you, and stay safe...every. single. call. can go wrong in a heart beat.

Thats happening everywhere, it seems...but fortunately, most local governments are being pressed hard by the citizens to keep the crime budget flowing...and we're seeing a lot of freezes being lifted on officers, dispatchers, and other personnel that keep working for the public...especially in places where crime seems to be a bit too rampant. NY is much better than it used to be from what I hear, but its only vigilance that keeps it so.
