the sad irony is that this sort of heavy-handed-ness is fully supported by those who traditionally vote Republican...

police have become tax collectors... Its ridiculous

[rscalzo]

I think cops are given quotas

If you had a brain, you would know that would be a violation of the state criminal code. There are no quotes. We can give out as many as we want.

Hassling people over a blinker or 5 miles over the speed limit

I guess asking you to back that up with factual data would be a waste of time. You must be one of those drivers that change lanes and turn without the use of the NJ Optional Turn Signal. Of course you ARE the only one on the road. And please, enlighten us with the actual summons of the five mile over the limit violation you refer to is your post.

yea im sure that all of these new speed traps and registration/seat belt checkpoints have nothing to do with state/local tax revenues being down...

Of course these would be the same police you would call in a panic if someone attacked you or broke into your house.

Please if you are too much of a baby to take a ticket like a big boy, don't speed or drive like an ahole.

Now how in hell would we prove that? The pigs break every law in the book. The same silly little laws they jamb down our throats. I have never ever seen a pig doing the speed limit, never stop for a stop sign, never ever use their directionals, they will pass on the shoulder just to get around us slow pokes who are doing the artificially low limits that the pigs bosses set.

Yes they have quotas, always did and always will. Now where would we get factual data on one of the deepest secrets on earth? Kinda like the space ships landing in Roswell NM. Everyone knows it's true but your govt will never publicly admit it. Do pigs have data who eats jelly donuts and who eats boston creams?

You know damn well pigs extort, oops sorry, steal, oops sorry give summonses for 5 over all the time. Especially when it gets near the end of the month.

And who the hell do they think they are going into McDonalds demanding free breakfast? One day one of those minimum wage clerks is going to give them what they deserve.

NO NO NO NO NO

There are leaders in this world and there are followers. Leaders will never call mommy if something goes wrong. They are skilled in handling their own affairs. There is nothing on this earth that would cause me to call them street thugs. Just calling to report a crime automaticly makes the caller a criminal suspect. Some one always uses this answer and it is so very wrong. The best defense is to just stay away from them. Let them play amongst themselves.

This is for NJ only I dont see it anywhere else really and travel between PA and NJ for work.
Think since we are in debt (nj), the government wants to increase more money via fines and traffic violations. Seems like the word has gone out to step up the enforcement.

Or maybe its just me.

My friends and I were talking about this same issue the other night at a BBQ. It's not just NJ. I work in NYC, and they've been ratcheting it up as well. There is a cop on just about every other corner with a ticket pad writing them up. There are cops in front of Grand Central Station just flagging down cars all morning long to write up a summons.

Now it will be 4th of July this coming Saturday, and fireworks will be going off all night long. I will call the police around midnight on the 4th of July as I always do, and ask them nicely to take a ride by my street, and ask the kids to stop it already. Of course they won't come by because the operator will predictably tell me that they are being overwhelmed with too many calls. Funny, they never seem to be overwhelmed or short staffed when it comes to beefing up their presence all over the streets to write up summons or setup inspection sticker/seat belt checkpoint stops when the town is short on collecting revenues.

if cops never broke the laws themselves, no dept. would ever have an Internal Affairs unit

Every weekend in Paterson, they have several police officers on horses trotting up and down the streets on the 21st Ave business district! That area always had cops on patrol, but not so many as before and never any mounted on horses. But I guess its a good thing since that area is safer than most of the other parts of the city.
