Not all cops are like that.

There are officers who are very dedicated and look out for you, I personally know some.

 

What are you talking about... OFFICERS not writing tickets in bad weather???

 

Do you ever see a cop stationed at a speed trap when conditions are less favorable to driving? Next time it rains/snows etc, see if you spot any patrol officer sitting on a highway trying to slow traffic. I say if they were really concerned about safety they would have even MORE officers doing speed traps when conditions are worse trying to be proactive in preventing accidents before they happen. I don't care what they do really, I just wish that they would quit trying to pretend that what they do is in the name of safety.

 

I can't help but agree with you, but the simple fact is that there's generally a lot more accidents that police have to respond to when the weather is terrible out. They don't have time to make speed traps.

People also generally don't speed/can't speed when there is snow on the ground. I personally am not one of them, but I am definately a better driver then most of the people on the road. I have avoided more accidents by paying attention to my mirrors, and just the general conditions of the road. If they get too bad, I leave more room everywhere if there is a lot of traffic. I've had to steer around countless amounts of people, and go around people on the side when the people trying to stop behind me don't leave enough room and end up crashing into the person that was in front of me because they don't know how ABS works and they just go straight into the person.

 

Have you been everywhere? When its foggy here and it gets really foggy here Highway Patrol slows down traffic. I think you are borderline delusional, maybe officers are different in Texas, ionno.

 

Texas Officers Hide out when the weather gets Bad . I'm From Southern Cali and they were always out slowing Traffic and Such but never here .But we dont get much fog either mostly Ice when it gets bad ..

 

I totally agree with you there but i just considered that part of the budget, the payroll for city officials. I understand there is nothing leftover to be considered profit.

I once had a ticket with the breakdown of the fine and off to the side, maybe $25 under fire/rescue. I thought to myself, I didn't cause an accident, noone had to respond to an emergency, I shouldn't have to pay the $25. Of course I understood it as a "what if" type of fine. There were two other category charges but I don't remeber them or the amounts.

 

I think in Westlake the categories are:

1. Courthouse Remodeling to make it look like a country club fee
2. Nice water-fall-style water-fountain out in the front fee
3. Sprinkles for the donuts fee
