I'm curious about something... :idea:
A lot of people I know have been getting tickets all of a sudden. Maybe I just know a lot of bad drivers. :burnout: But I was at the library yesterday and came across a newspaper from a few weeks back that stated property tax revenue is down, thus there is a town budget deficit of $1.2 million.
I don't blame any LEO for writing a ticket. No way. (1) The violator is usually guilty as charged. (2) They're doing their job and I'll never fault an honest officer for that. My curiosity - not anger - is directed towards the local government.
Is it remotely possible that a town will request officers to increase the strictness of enforcement that leads to a finable citation, with the upside being increased revenue for that town?
I try to keep up with local government as much as federal and state b/c I'm convinced local gov't is as corrupt as it gets...lol :-D Seriously, I'm just curious if this theory has any validity. I value everyone's opinion (LEO and non-LEO) so thanks in advance.
