Towing Doubles

When we stopped someone for some violation more often than not we'd hear "Why didn't you stop the other guy?" The reply is "Have you ever gone fishing?" They'd answer "Yes". Then we'd respond "Did you catch them all?"
In IL the traffic/vehicle statute law book is about 1 inch thick. Some cops focus on DUIs and wouldn't look twice at a motor carrier violation. Another cop might concentrate on speeders and never stop a DUI. And another may prefer to look for criminal violations and would never stop some traffic violations. I worked with one cop who would only stop red cars committing violations on a Wednesday. Drive a white car speeding past him on Wednesday and he wouldn't look twice at you. Another would not stop anything that ran on diesel. Another who was a veteran would never stop anyone who had any kind of veterans license plates or marking on their car showing they were a veteran.
People who have never worked law enforcement simply do not understand or have any idea what it's like. If a cop stopped every single violation they saw they'd never get 1/4 mile from their home their entire shift. No matter who the cop is they do not stop every violation they see. Some days even the most active cop may not make a single traffic stop simply because they're not in the mood to put up the BS that day.
When someone says "I drove past 2 state cops today and wasn't stopped so it must be OK." what they don't realize is tomorrow one of those cops might decide he's going to enforce a specific section of the law and you might be the fish he's going to catch.
