When I read some of those posts, I seemed to be getting the feeling that some of them enjoyed the power they had over the drivers, and that they enjoyed giving them tickets; the way a teacher makes a student stay after school in detention. The biggest difference is that the punishments handed out by teachers usually does not involve a monetary fine and a record of sorts (which usually leads to more money being spend on higher ins. premiums). Both have gotten their satisfaction at sticking it to the offender.

In their defense, I suppose hearing "I pay your salary" does get old quickly, and you get annoyed quickly, and want to punish them for that idiot cliche that you have heard a thousand times.
