I wish the police here would write more tickets. Crazy drivers put law abiding citizens at rish. Driver have no fear a ticket, and so they drive accordingly.

How about something more simple? Obey the fucking speed limit and don't drive like a douchetard.
Problem solved. No tickets...no worries. Oh...and in before the legion of fucktards who whine and complain of "just keeping up with traffic", "I was in a rush", and "victimless crime." By the way...most departments and similar agencies tie the officer's performance review (ie, the chance of getting a raise) in part to how many tickets that they write, arrests they make, warrants they serve, hours in court, etc. Total horseshit. Less opportunities for the individual officer to cut somebody a break or exercise some restraint or discretion. |

We can demand a jury trial on traffic cases. If the SA refused to bargain with the lawyers I think there would be a revolt. If 5% of the cases went to bench trial there wouldn't be enough judges in the county to hear them all. If 1% went jury trial it would be a fiasco of epic proportions. If they cut the lawyers ability to deal I think they would have to protect their income by bringing the system down. "Free jury trial for the next 10 defendants." |

I grew up in a small town with a bored police force both city and county. Between age 16 and 18 I was pulled over 12 times, given tickets twice. I no longer live in an area that operates like that. Not unusual. I grew up in a small town with one bored cop. Being a teenager and driving a car seemed to automatically be grounds for a stop. Many times he'd question us with "where you going", "what are you up too", etc. Sometimes toss the car looking beer. We were too young and dumb to question him and often he never found/pursued anything to pinch us with. |
