Sedan_Clan while I don't fully agree with half the things you say, you really do have the patience of a saint.

What don't you agree with? Is it merely a difference of opinion on subjective things or are you in disagreement with something factual/statistical? Let's discuss it. |

The way you portray things as very black-and-white in a "you break the law, you go to jail"--personally I'd prefer enforcement of laws to be geared towards severity. The guy on the 405 at a 0.23 is far more of a danger to everyone around him than the guy smoking a blunt (I've seen both). If it'll take you as much time to arrest either of them, why waste your time with the guy who's high rather than look out for the guy who's hammered?

I was just advised that beginning January 2022, jurors will no longer be removed for anti-law enforcement sentiment alone, but jurors who are pro-law enforcement will still be able to be removed. Interesting times we're in.

FACT: Law enforcement doesn't benefit monetarily from citations; the courts/municipalities/state do. The community benefits from the enforcement because their complaints are the reason why we are enforcing such laws/municipal codes. I use latitude all of the time. If I arrested or cited everybody that the letter of the law said I could, I would never get a break. I agree that the deuce is more dangerous in theory (...and mostly in practice), but the dude smoking the blunt on the corner isn't necessarily up to anything good. |

And he clearly said in his post that it was more than eyes, BP, etc, he'd have to be thorough to make the bust. And even then, it can still be challenged in court no? |

I remember a DA at a E-pass training that drinking 4 cans of any type of energy drink like Monsters can get people impaired.

Totally agree, Sedan_Clan patience throughout this whole thread is applaudable. I've been following since day 1 and will always remember someone said... "uh oh, this isn't going to turn out the way you expect" lol. |

Not sure if this is an open offer but I would 100% take you up on it and make the drive down to Socal for a shift of yours. When I was in college one of my buddies worked at the DA office and occasionally did DUI patrol ride-alongs. Seemed to be very interesting.

I've been invited to some very nice court houses in some very small towns. These are in large part financed by speed traps on the parkway that passes through the town. The cops get very nice quarters in the bargain. Plus, in NYS the state cops get the revenue unless the speeder & town reach an agreement on a lower charge. Then the $$ goes to the town! Murf |

The invite is open. Quote:
Disagree with the law. Your prerogative. If it's in public, you're subject to citation or arrest. Speed traps are illegal in California so it's not applicable to anything we do in this state. I've explained where/how fees are distributed here in California. What N.Y. (....or Texas) does is not my concern. |

Some people enjoy guns as a hobby. Whether it's collecting or target shooting or whatever floats your boat. Has nothing to do with fear. Fear and using a gun don't go hand in hand. This is the reason I don't own one. I don't trust myself and don't have the proper training. If you asked my husband who owns a gun, goes to the range, does situational training if he does this because he's afraid he would say no. It's a form of protection.
