Yes, actually it is. not fast enough perhaps but it is working. I laughed out loud when i read she won an award for the most dui arrests in the state and does not think she should have to give back the award.

I also loved it when it said she arrested a fellow for going 73 when her camera showed him going 60.

It shows the kind of mentality that is naturally drawn to law enforcement in some quantity and suggests that more psycological evaluations might be needed, or closer supervision.

Bad cops get good cops killed. Some sociopath like this abuses someone and the next time they get pulled they don't take any chances and off the poor slob.

If you are in enforcement don't ever forget. If you cover for somone like this you are condemning fellow officers to death. This was taught to LEOs in the past.

Saw The Central Park Five on Friday. It is very disturbing. The system put 5 teenage juveniles in prison for many years for crimes they did not commit.

This story will put some other departments across the country on radar for this kind of behavior .If the Police departments say theirs no quota for arrests or tickets then whats the award for ? Bravery under fire .She should have to walk in front of the town hall with a sign across her neck, "I will never work in law enforcement again and hope you can foregive my stupidity for taking advantage of the public in this manner."

When they let her out, she should have to be chauffeur to those whose licenses were taken based on her lies.

Or, just beat her to death with a rubber hose...

As someone who gets pulled over for nothing more than 'driving while in an expensive car' I have run into this sort of Cop many times.

I never get a ticket, but one advantage I have is that I don't drink or smoke. So when they pull the old 'I can tell you have been drinking' routine I just tell them I did drink too much at a wedding, but that was 40 years ago and ask them how they knew about it? If you say this as a joke it will upset them, but if you say in a dead serious way it throws them off their game. And to them this is a game.

The best way to make these losers turn and run is to have a 'problem'. Where is the nearest gas station? Is there a hospital nearby? I have a medical problem, can you assist me?

It never fails. They usually just toss my DL and insurance card back in my lap and tell me to not stop in their town again. I have never received one offer of assistance.

And if they ask if they can search the car or trunk I tell them if they get a warrant. When they pull the old 'That might take days, but I can wait in jail' I always offer to take them up on it. That means a lot of paperwork and none of them want that.

They always start out thinking I'm bluffing, and when they figure out I'm not they back down. This is because they are the one who is bluffing. They have nothing and they know it.

And I always treat them as Professionals. The thing they want most is for you to refuse to follow an order or to get smart with them.

An old saying from the Middle East: Always be kind to your adversaries. It is like pouring burning coals upon their heads.

^ Not bad. I've come out the best in stops when I treat the office like an old friend I happened to see. Not too thick, but pleasant.
