However, if the average cop writes four tickets a day, and you write 1, you're not effectively policing. When it's speed traps and bullshit stops for tags and the like, especially in small rural towns, it's revenue that the department needs.

All kinds of things need to be reformed, including police funding and the addition of community services.

I wonder if we'd have al these other incidents if the Chauvin murder trial weren't going os badly for the police.
