I'm with you brother,
As a "chop buster" myself it never ceases to amaze me how little some people actually know about what the police do. Yes, traffic violations are part of our job, but I am APPALLED at the statement made by Jolly Roger VX'er! If he really believes ANY police officer would rather enforce an equipment violation over a pistol wielding crack dealer he's way off. I read his post as to call police officers cowards and coffer filling goons who's sole reason for being is to "rain on someones parade". Too many good men and women have died preserving the peace each of us feel while sleeping in our beds at night to make a blanket statement like that. Almost everybody I've met has had a bad experience with a police officer, that's the nature of our job. Whether it be investigating a crime where someone has been victimized, arresting a drunk driver, issuing a traffic citation or a child seeing us take daddy to jail for beating up mommy...their all bad experiences. But every policce officer I know is genuine in his or her compassion for the fellow man. I once heard a statement that made a lot of sense "Don't curse a farmer with your mouth full of food".......think about it.
