Linkie to the story
I like how the dick-shit cop is halfway in both lanes in the picture and not writing himself a ticket.Quote:
Cars and motorcycles are being ticketed for literally just touching the double yellow line that indicates no passing allowed.
We are just seeing one instance in time. I'm sure that as soon as he realized that he was in violation of the law that he pulled over and wrote himself a ticket. ;) The photographer must have run out of space on his card and missed the photo opportunity.
I didnt read the whole story, but ticketing for touching the yellow line is fine by me. That is how people get killed. You should be in enough control of your car that you can stay all the way on your side of the road. Go read killboy.com and see how many jackasses are all the way into the other lane on a blind corner.Quote:

At this point another officer appears out of no where (and usually crossing the same line to get past car A) to ticket car B. ::Rant::Quote:

Hell, I'm surprised that at this point they didn't have their own radar guns to see how fast the po-po was traveling through there. The video of the officer crossing the yellow looks like he was coming pretty fast through there and slowed down by the time he went by the camera.
Anyone who has actually driven the Dragon knows how dangerous "some" drivers there are.Quote:

I love going to the Gap, but don't see the Po-po getting any better. :rolleyes:
It really pisses me off that cops are not held to a higher standard.::BaHump::
You mean- 'the same standard' as everybody else.....Quote:

It was 2AM, so there wasn't a hell of a lot of traffic out. The Dallas cop was just being a dick, and was probably looking to fill some quota.
If I had an effing nickel for every time I saw a cop driving like an ass and generally breaking the rules of the road, I'd be one rich mofo...
Anyhow, I better stop before I start getting wound up over this... ;)
Whatever. Police seem to LOVE to do these roving crackdowns. I bet it will largely be back to normal in a month or so.
<~~~trying very very hard to keep mouth shut ans stay out of this...lol
Hmmmm.......
This definitely doesn't help me get any closer to respecting officers.
Ya don't think the story was written on the side of the offended do ya?Quote:

BTW. I'm a fan of law enforcement, have some friends who actual protect and serve you mouth breathers. ::Bust1::
