If the few of you feel so strongly about cops lying, why don't you start an Occupy Revenue Generators movement?
The revenue stream must continue, somehow, some way, more so than ever with stretched city/state budgets! When I recently found out a retired prosecuting attorney in this city was going to be paid $150k a year pension, that says it all! And with pension costs of retiring police officers, it's got to come in some way!
If you think, for one minute, by abandoning your car and riding a bike or walking, it will make a dent in this, think again! They're well prepared for that evenutality, with posted speed limits for people walking on sidewalks (if you walk more than 5MPH you get a ticket) and vigilance of bike riders and scooters.
With public union, out of control pension costs, we're trapped, no way out!
Even the drivers "with angel wings" will eventually get ticketed. "Aha! You stopped at the red light, but your fender is hanging over the white line of the crosswalk by 1/2 inch!"
And I doubt that you're intelligent enough to determine yourself what constitutes an "inappropriate speed limit and mendacious police officer."
Ummm....yes, I am. What I don't get is that so many of you don't understand that I have had only 2 encounters with law enforcement in my life that were initiated by me. I've had 2 other encounters with them during rear-ending accidents, that were obviously not initiated by me. (Heck, if I had run that yield sign, I'd still have that old van! Woulda had around 100,000 miles by now)
Anyways, it's easy to tell what an inappropriate speed limit is. You drive on the road at the limit and it feels like an interminable crawl. You can just tell via a je ne sais quoi obtained after years of driving and many, many thousands of miles.
As for what constitutes a mendacious police officer? That's simple: when you are accused of doing something you did not do. Pretty clear, isn't it?
Ah, but if you are accused of "driving too fast" and by that I mean that the speed limit is 45, but you think it should be 55 and drive thusly, then when the police officer "accuses you" of something you didn't do, that being "driving too fast" your definition differs from his. And unfortunately for you, the law is on his side.
It doesn't matter how you feel, all that matters is the number on that little white sign by the side of the road. Save your je ne sais quoi for the judge, maybe he'll get a good laugh out of you!
cry all you want, but this is exactly why you need to be concentrating on your driving so that you would see the stop sign BEFORE the cop shined a light in your eyes. another option would be to record everything that happens while you are behind the wheel so that if anything untoward happens while you are driving, you might have a real defense. and there are always options to fight an unwarranted or unlawful ticket.

How Would You React If Law Enforcement Did This To You.....
