So in front of my house today, the cops decided to set up a speed trap. They had about 3 motorcycle cops and another 2 or so patrol cars there. They were basically pulling anyone over who went over the 35mph limit on my 4 lane divided median straight road. WAY TO STOP CRIME IN ITS TRACKS GUYS!!!
Not 100 yards down the street and around the corner is a pedestrian cross walk. Every day I have to cross it on my way to campus. EVERY FUCKING DAY i almost get run over by some asshole who runs the light. I dont mean just creeping through, but RUNS THE FUCKING LIGHT AT FULL SPEED. There is an elementary school on the other side of that road as well. I have NEVER once seen a cop enforcing this cross walk.
At EVERY fucking intersection in this city, people stop on green. When traffic backs up, they just creep into the intersection like there is no cross traffic. When the light changes, they are holding up the cross traffic, thus contributing to the already terrible traffic in the city. Do the cops enforce the "no stopping in an intersection" law? FUCK NO!! That'd be too much work!
WHAT THE FUCK!!!! Why do cops not enforce the traffic laws that actually MAKE A FUCKING DIFFERENCE in how traffic flows? Why not pull over agressive drivers? Why not pul over tailgaters? Becuase it's TOO MUCH FUCKING WORK?? I'm willing to be that traffic in this city would be a LOT better if cops actually WORKED toward enforcing traffic laws that mean something.
LEO's: Why do cops concentrate so much on speeding? Is it because it is the easiest to enforce, or am I missing something? Why not concentrate on REAL traffic problems?
And for the record, i did NOT get nabbed by this speed trap, i'm just fed up seeing bullshit cops on a power trip busting heads that don't need to get busted, while real problems happen right around the corner with no adjustment on it.
