[Mach 1]

Well, Im late in this thread, and didnt read the entire thing, but thought I would post my recent experiences with the law.

I have had 3 instances of cars parked in my driveway getting broke into in the middle of the night and stereos, CD's, camera equipment, etc...being stolen.

When the police come to take a report, they are obviously uninterested and just going through the motions.

On the other hand, I have been stopped for numerous bullcrap type traffic violations in and around my neighborhood. I got a $200.00 ticket for doing a "rolling stop" one evening. I get harrassed for going over the speed limit on a straight, deserted road by my house that has a ridicuously low speed limit, for no other reason than to give tickets I believe.

This road has farm fields on eithier side, its a perfectly straight road, no curves, hills, nothing, and the speed limit is 25 mph! Why? Because its a ticket making machine. Any normal person driving on this road will speed because they dont realize the pathetically low speed limit would exist on a road like this.

So anyway, where are all the power hungry harrassers when cars in my driveway are getting ripped off? Cranking thier meat somewhere. But they will be there in daylight to hand out tickets like the losers they are.

My freind who lives a few blocks away came home late one evening and found some folks ripping off his neighbors car. He calls the police on his cell phone, and start to follow the crooks as they drive away. The 911 operator tells him to stay with them, and he does, going around 100 MPH, the whole time on the phone giving directions to the police and their location. It took 30 minutes for the cops to finally show up and pull them over.

So you have exact location being reported to you as the bad guys are driving, and it still takes 30 minutes to get a cop anywhere near them, while telling my freind its ok to do 100 MPH as long as he can stay with them? And then the same jerks will pass out around 15 tickets in those same 30 minute time span on another day.

needless to say, but I HATE COPS!
