right or privilege or BIG BUSINESS 3818Tickets don't make people pay attention all the time though. That's the real problem. I witnessed two accidents today, and both were caused by not paying...
OK, not on I-95 south of Ft. Launderdale (the busiest expresway around here) where you see everything including high speed races weaving around other vehicles. I feel like a sitting duck when driving there, not only for the speeds but because of the dangerous weaving. Not one HP anywhere!
OK, I haven't got a traffic ticket in a good while (knowing where the speed traps lie) but I'm collecting parking tickets, feeding the hungry lion in the process. The penultimate one was fair, the last one was pure predation...
Well, the problem is that you may be feeding doughnuts to the lion. I mean, the hungry lion, not the officers who still want to see safer roads, though that won't happen until political decisions are made to tame our Darwinian Roads. In the meantime, BUSINESS AS USUAL, for example...
Police LOVE Violent drivers, They HATE safe drivers!
I live in the area of Lewisville, Texas...which is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The police in Lewisville and the surrounding areas could NOT care LESS about vicious, violent, and extremely dangerous drivers! The Lewisville police station is on Main Street in Lewisville, which is the busiest and most dangerous road in Lewisville! You can stand on any street corner around that area on Main Street (indeed, ANY where on Main Street), and watch these violent morons speed thru stop signs, red lights, and slower traffic! They "ride" on the rear bumpers of other cars, and they NEVER EVER use blinkers or turn their headlights on at night, in bad weather, or when it is overcast!!!!! Do the police stop these dangerous people? NO! Do the police take these dangerous idiots licenses away? NO! Do the police even bother to follow the same drivng laws they are supposed to uphold? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What exactly DO the Lewisville police do you ask? They HIDE behind walls, buildings, trees, bushes, parked vehicles, and any other large objects near street corners, so they can catch YOU going 1-2 a frikin mile over the speed limit and give you a $170.00 ticket for it! I have always been told, that 'speed traps' are illegal. Well, apparently in this area, it is police policy to be a COWARD and HIDE behind objects to give tickets to people who are just trying to get down the street without one of these EXTREMELY violent, vicious, and destructive drivers killing you!
*I* get stopped for going 1-2 a friking mile over the speed limit, and yet the idiots BLOWING past me like I am parked at the side of the road, dont even get a warning! *I* get stopped and given 'warnings' for forgetting to use a blinker once, or for forgetting to turn my "brights" off in city limits, or even (get this) "slowing down at an intersection"....when *I* had the green light!!!! But yet, these violent jackbuttes can speed 50 mph over the posted speed limit, run thru red lights, run thru stop signs, ram peoples cars, run pedestrians over, drive at night without headlights, and in bad weather without headlights, and the police dont even "blink" in their direction!!!!
Someone tell me please, WHY even wast money with a so-called 'police department', when they dont DO anything!
Even the police here drive just as bad, if not WORSE, than these idiots. So why am I given a ticket for something everyone else can do and NOT get a ticket?
WE should be in charge of these peoples wages! They get their raises if WE vote they should! They get their benefits if WE vote they should! THAT would get them off their donut filled buttes and get these idiots off the roads!
(And it doesnt help that anyone walking thru the doors of the drivers license offices here in Texes can get a license! And I DO mean ANYONE!)
Check this place, it's real cool...
