Enough is Enough!

The last 7 words??? they are true. Name ONE response that doesnt attack me AND addresses the points I have made. Deny that it is true that cops dont write other cops tickets. Yes Ive been to traffic school, thismonth in fact, but I deserved the ticket, I checked my GPS and was in fact, speeding, so the ticket didnt upset me. I asked while I was there, how many cops had that instructor seen in traffic school, and she told me 2, because theytold her they were embarrassed by what they had done and dint tell the ticketing officer that they were cops. Ive got friends that are cops, and in fact, some close enough they probably know its me. Ive heard directly from Col Turner himself that it is a problem with cops, that no one wants to be the cop who tickets another cop, because of the response from other cops. That is a problem, cops afraid to enforce the law with other cops because of reaf of retribution. Now, when you can show me 10 or more letters that you have written about trucker concerns, and sent them to local trucking company bosses, I will believe youre an equal. I said before, my problem isnt with cops because they are cops, it is with the attitude that most, 99% of the ones ive seen on the road, have because you wear that badge. You tell me that there isnt a problem with cops not enforcing the law with other cops, dont hide behind that "few rotten apples" excuse, because we both know this isnt just a few officers problem.

I applaud you for writing a trucker a ticket for doing something wrong, however, if you are saying that he refused to move over so that a car on an entrance ramp could enter the travel lanes, well, hes just being inconsiderate, the other car would have had the yield sign, so I dont know how you can call that reckless, much less an arrestable offense. Youre asking me to read the mind of a driver in an incident i did not witness, so I decline.

Now, notice how I responded directly to your point, instead of just calling you an idiot, giving you some nickname meant to be insulting, and trying in vain to divert the subject of the post. More than I can say for most of the people here.
