[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 601906, member: 60724"] Actually, Caymen, regarding the "manpower better served elsewhere" and "why police have a bad image", I think that is a simplistic viewpoint. If a policeman gives me a ticket for doing 42 in a 35, I don't get irked because I think he should be out catching "real criminals!" That's just a rationalization, IMHO. Different law enforcement agencies have different focuses, work independently, have differing budgets/manpower resources and some agencies are large in of themselves and multi-faceted. Therefore, to get all bent out of shape as to why the policeman enforcing the traffic laws isn't fighting other types of crime, for these reasons, are overly simplistic and moot. He or she is doing his job as intended. You may think other areas of enforcement are more important, but that's like bitching at the mailman because the garbage man spilled your garbage. TJR [/QUOTE]
