[QUOTE="carrrnuttt, post: 8099635, member: 10844"] This is why I asked. You have to understand, I'm coming from an area where the [ex] Governor promised the state 90 million dollars in REVENUE IN ITS FIRST YEAR from the massive speeding camera program it bought into. Not to mention that a lot of cities in the metro area are considering buying into the same program as well. Also, I was merely commenting on the fact that this happened to have occurred on a fiscal quarter cutoff. It might be just coincidence, but if it happens again on July 1st, is it ok for me to think that way again? Don't worry, I'll report back in 3 months. Also, you guys act as if traffic tickets have never been used as a revenue-generating device by any town or municipality before. You guys seem to have a hard time conceiving of yourselves and your departments as separate entities from other departments and other officers. Just because you or your department is "honest" and "infallible", doesn't mean that all other departments will be. Don't forget, there's always someone, or a group of someones deciding this for an officer. Just because they were sent out to do something like this, doesn't mean the officer is to blame. Maybe you can back off your group think, and quit being so defensive about the implication. What's funny is, I wasn't even complaining about it. What's ironic is, with all of the "drunk officer" stories coming up lately, an officer is going to lecture me about the civilians' side's "personal responsibility". When officers as a group start discarding its chaff from their very first appearances, like most well-meaning private industries do, instead of hiding them behind the Blue Wall, then we'll talk about "personal responsibility".
