Some of the parking police are fine. The one we have now won't ticket within 5 minutes of the time limit. But once I got a ticket for 1 minute before time, while standing by my trunk. |

I had an old-timer detective from our small town's police department at our house taking a property damage accident report on Friday, and gave him a tip about something that he might want to be on the watch for in our neighborhood if they are having a slow day. He said that he would pass it along to the new guys on the night shift, since they were always looking for excitement.....

Enforcement of petty stuff, while “the law”, is very annoying and frankly intrusive to people who are mostly law abiding (like minor speeders). I really don’t like police using those laws, and check points, to try to get the baddies. To me is it harassing and intimidating 99 to catch 1, and contributes to ill feeling toward both police and the law. |

During the checkpoint Friday night, there was one motorist, in particular, who almost received some extra attention from me. He pulls up to me and I generate some cordial conversation advising why we were there and what we were looking for (...generally speaking: impaired and/or unlicensed drivers). I didn't smell alcohol or marijuana in the vehicle, but I did ask if he had a valid driver's license. He replies, "Why?"....as if I'm somehow out of line for asking and implying that my question has no merit. At this point I'm already beginning to get annoyed. He presents a driver's license, but won't hand it to me. I demanded that he give me the license so that I may inspect it. He goes, "Why are you asking? Your partner up there isn't asking." .....not that he even knew what my partner was asking because he was too far up ahead to hear AND my partner was leaned into the car. This motorist hands me the license while uttering nonsense under his breath. He's lucky the checkpoint was backing up, otherwise I would have really inconvenienced him. I saw three violations I could've written him for.

There are corrupt police traffic scams (revenue raisers) as well. Some speed traps are set up this way (having nothing to do with public safety), and I’ve seen the “impeding the flow” scam in Taylor, MI in person. That shit has to stop. As a somewhat normal person (my wife’s opinion notwithstanding), I have been stopped for petty stuff several times in my life. Tail light out, “what’s in the trunk?” Never cited for any of it which makes me think it was an excuse to fish. I always knew about it before being stopped, too, once I was on my way to buy the bulb. |

I agree some places need to take old laws off the books. It's still an offence to drag a dead horse through Toronto..... |

In the more "urbanized" areas in these parts, it is not uncommon to see cars driving around without front license plates. Trivial offense on the surface, but the odds are that another unregistered/uninsured car is illegally on the road with that missing front plate mounted on its rear. Hope you are carrying the maximum uninsured motorist coverage if you happen to meet one of them by accident.....

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that the UK found a solution for using one set of plates on two different cars. They made all of their front plates a different color, so they can easily be spotted when they are on the back of another vehicle.....

It's clear that you don't like the intrusion or inconvenience of being stopped and there is a solution really. Don't commit any violations. Last edited by Murf993; 05-09-2021 at 12:18 PM.. |
