You know I am just chalking that statement up to your ignorance. Actually we only spend about 10% of our time issuing traffic citations, about 40% trying to catch real criminals and about 50% of the time listening to people like you. So the point is if you would do something to help instead of just running your mouth maybe things would be better!!!!!!!!:soapbox:
If you are spending half your duty time listening to people like me, you are wasting the taxpayers' money. Also, if 20% of your working time (10%/(10%+40%)) is spent writing tickets, you are spending too much time on it. But I understand, you have to feed yourself and the system. Everyone makes a buck any way they can. After all, money doesn't smell, does it?
Your sanctimonious attempts to glorify what you do would be amusing, if I could banish a mental image of an "officer of the law" with a sadistic grin, right hand resting on the pistol holster, doughnut fragments still stuck in the 70s-style moustache. Yep. That's right. Motorists are a lot easier to catch than real criminals, aren't they?
In NY, you now pay for the same traffic offence 4 times:
1. Fine
2. Surcharge
3. Another fine disguised as part of the "Driver Responsibility Program"
4. Increased insurance premium.
This is nothing but a method of extracting money out of motorists. So guess what? It's probably better to have an antenna stolen than to have an encounter with the Highway Gestapo.
OK I realize this has little to do with stolen antennas, but I couldn't have not written this.
