How dare you insult the fine revenue collectors dedicated police officers of this site!!!!!
They will be the first to tell you that not wearing your seat belt is the reason young people get cancer, old people die alone, and kittens fall into drainage sewers. That's right, pal, we ALL pay for it when you make the decision to take care of your body as you see fit.
You bastard.

I wasn't aware we had Police Officers who pass laws.

I wasn't aware I said they did. Nope, reading through my post, I see I did no such thing.
However, it's interesting to note that police officers do ENFORCE the laws that idiots at the state capitals pass, and when those laws are unjust, shitty, petty or unreasonable, they often defend enforcement of those laws with "It's the law", "It's my duty", or worse use the same tired and lefty justification for why we should comply with these shitty laws. Many of the police officers on this site have done exactly that. And, it's those LEO's that I am ridiculing.
I considered becoming a police officer - very seriously, but what made me go another route was the beginnings of these very types of laws, and knowing that I would be asked to hand out exhorbitant tickets to people for violations that I consider complete money-making chickenshit. I would not sleep at night, knowing I was fleecing people, and worse telling them by violation that the state knows better than they how to take care of themselves.
Some officers, even here on ARFcom, have no problem whatsoever with this duty. They disgust me.
