The point is that if the police officers are told to ticket X number of people per hour or get fired, if there aren't enough speeders, they are going to start ticketing people who aren't speeding. And that is not fair. When I drive Waldo, I drive five under, with cruise control, speed verified by GPS. And i have gotten sick enough of it, I take a different route.
This happened to my sister in McMinneville Tn, School treasurer and fill in teacher, Pastor's wife, active in the community. She got a ticket for going through a stop sign. She was stopped at the stop sign comming from the other direction. She doesn't take any gruff. He said it doesn't matter you didn' stop sometime and wrote her the ticket. Her Boss took the side of the Officer, It was political in this case. We can no longer blindly trust those we put in positions of trust.
