What's the limit down in the States where usually police don't bother to move out and nab you if they are doing traffic enforcement? Up where I live, you are usually safe doing 12-15 mph (or 20-25 km/h) over the limit on the highways, and 9mph (15 km/h) elsewhere. Usually. Quote:
But somehow, during my little absence from the forums, it appears you quickly worked through the remaining stages, and have now reached the final stage "acceptance". Wonderful news - kudos to you! https://www.thrivetalk.com/7-stages-of-grief/ |

If so, have you ever given someone a ticket for not using the passing lane correctly, ie driving in the passing lane, not letting others that are trying to go faster, pass? I drive for a living, and if that one thing were changed, rather enforced better, I feel like a massive percentage of traffic would go away overnight. Your thoughts? |

Aww, that's nice, and here I was getting all excited for a stinging retort, and you go and adopt the "catching more flies with honey than vinegar" approach and catch me off guard.
Sigh...what can I say, it is nice to be missed. And if you aren't going to throw down, then I'll just have to wait to find a newcomer to OT who is imbalanced and have a little fun with them I suppose. Now_Rudi and I had a huge amount of fun with one individual a few months back, I feel he was only a few posts away from an apoplectic stroke. |

How did you decide to become an officer? Were there things in your life that lead you to being an officer?
Are you happy with the pay you receive? Do you think if officers were paid more, you would have a better quality police force? Tell us another good story. I like a good Cop story. Be it good or bad. Also, thanks for your service. Is that right? I mean, it is a job, but you are serving your community... |

So I'm sitting there, wondering what to say to that. I mean, if I say thanks, I'm definitely admitting I was a very naughty person back there and richly deserving of a ticket, BUT it would also show that I'm a fairly aware driver too. "Shut the F@CK UP!" At least that's what my handcuff friend always tells me on the radio. |

California law enforcement is paid the highest in the country. Our respective unions fight for significant raises and our retirements are robust. I have absolutely no complaints. I don't think money is the driver; departmental morale is......and to a lesser, or equal, degree, laws that don't negatively impact our ability to do our jobs effectively. Certain laws create an environment where the motivation to make an arrest dissipates.....rapidly. ...and as for the story, do you want to hear one with a positive/amicable ending or a negative ending? |

Well, around here, police officers don't have it so good, which is why I ask. I like a good ending if it has some action ahead of it. |

I'm not into politics, but I do wonder why, since they have the ability to, cell service providers don't turn off the ability to use apps over say, 5 mph. It would be easily possible. Your take on that? |

I'm sure its been thought of by many other software developers, and I do wonder why no one has developed it yet. Great question though. |

....So I'm on patrol one night and I observe a vehicle in my rear view mirror traveling at a high rate of speed. As the car passes, I start rolling code, and the chase is on. The driver exited the freeway and starts driving through the hills. Part of me was a little impressed by the driving, and part of me was thinking, "This m'fer is going to end up tumbling down the hillside." Finally the driver yields, and who do I find in the driver's seat?!?!? ......a 14 year old girl with no license, wearing pajamas and driving shoes. LMAO! I laughed.....loudly! |
