Instead of writing MORE tickets to get funds, why not get rid of police officers to decrease spending. I guess there's no money in arresting real criminals like theives, rapists, killers, pimps, and drug dealers.
I'm all for having a sufficient police force, but how most are operated are incredibly inefficient. And the fact that all too frequently a good law abiding citizen is treated like a lowlife criminal.
Rick is right, we (the public) are accepting more and more of this "police state" style of law enforcement.
