Noticed more speed traps lately?

[Anonymous]

I wonder if all the “revinue” is worth it. I’ve been pulled over or contacted by LE three times in a month. More than the last decade combined.

One ticket for no seatbelt. Which I WAS wearing.

One warning for not having my off-road lights covered. Guilty but no ticket.

One ID check while getting into my car on a public street. This one really has me smokin. Carrying a tool bag, wearing a company shirt, walking out of a client’s business. SDPD wants to see my ID and ask me where I’ve come from, where I’m going and what I’m doing. What business is it of his?

The net effect of all this Gestapo behavior is that regular guys like me start hating cops and disrespecting the law. Now, lest you believe that I am a criminal with a hard on for cops let me tell you: I’m 45, white, employed, very positive net worth, married, honorably discharged veteran, father of an Eagle Scout, never been arrested for anything, Republican. Shouldn’t that guy be pro LE? I am not. I really do hate cops. Why?

In addition to the three recent incidents above I’ve had a gun stuck in my face five times in my life. Four of the thugs holding them were cops. Even after FELONY stopping me and threatening my life, not one of those cops arrested or even ticketed me.

Whatever revinue they generate is probably consumed by their salary plus much more. The bad will they generate by their heavy handed treatmet of nearly everyone offsets any positive effect they claim to have. Sure, detectives solve crime. Street cops? No way. Think about any time you’ve tried to get help with a crime commited on you. What did the cop really do? Show up way after the fact, write a report and leave you feeling under served I’d bet.

Fire most of them, learn to get along without them and live a more free life. This is supposed to be the United States of America, not NAZI Germany or Stalinist Russia.

Just one guy’s opinion

How about the unknown, unadvertised things they do. Like the time you were driving home from the movies and didn’t get killed by a DUI driver b/c the patrol cop pulled the guy over already for swerving out of control and so drunk the person could barely walk forward w/out pretending to be an airplane and when asked to turn around and walk back, the person doesn’t turn around and instead does a moon walk back. True story. This and many more. You should do a ride-along. It’s a riot. The most entertainment you’ll ever have, especially D/T or PB.

If ever you get a radar speeding ticket, go to the city you were cited in and ask for an “engineering and traffic survey” report (commonly known as a “speed survey” and is public information). Posted speed limits are based on these speed surveys and often posted speed limits are illegally set low(usually for political reasons). Refer to CVC 40802.

If the posted speed limit is not justified by a current speed survey, then the posted speed limit is not “radar enforceable” and the ticket is no good. The judge will dismiss the ticket. Cops know this and will still write illegal tickets.

I know this because I used to conduct speed surveys for the city of SD. Ask any attorney who specializes in traffic violations – they know this. But the best plan is DON’T SPEED.
