I couldn't disagree more. no way, no how. we do not need more
officers, we do not need more laws. what we need is more effective
*enforcement*. Stop sitting in the bushes shooting people in the back
with your radar gun, and get out and take care of the twits that are
the actual danger. Cops shouldn't be out there to make money off
speeding and seatbelt tickets, but that's what they do. They should be
out there keeping an eye out for bad drivers, drunks, falling apart
vehicles and other *actual* dangers. Excessive speeding, weaving,
failure to stop, failure to signal, etc etc etc.
traffic enforcement is a cash cow instead of the safety campaign it
should be, and I'm bloddy well *sick* of it.
