I'm not trying to ugly or have an attitude by no means, But......my husband is a state trooper in the state of MS. He puts up with alot of people on a daily basis. Some that are doing wrong and don't care......some that like you didn't realize what you've done.......and then just crazy people.
he doesn't have quotas to meet........our state does not receive the money from the tickets....the county gets the money.
And for warnings.....ha do you know how many warnings he gives and then eventually he will write that person a ticket for doing the same thing 3-4 times.
I'm sorry but i come from the other side of this issue. If your doing something wrong own up to it. We all know your not supposed to cross a yellow line and people do it every day trying to get away with it.
People speed all the time and then have all these excuses.....but it doesn't change the fact that more accidents happen each day from people breaking the law.
My husband has been doing this for 21 years, so i've heard it all. He's told me of accidents that could have been prevented if someone were paying attention to the laws of the road. People gettting killed for no good reason.
And on the issue of knowing someone
that's a bunch of bull.
my son got a ticket from our local city police for noise violation.....he went and paid it and didn't even ask his dad for help. my best friend got a speeding ticket last year and she paid it. they had enough respect to not ask.
i really am sorry but i want everyone to know it's not always that the cop is a jerk or all these other things people say about them. they are doing their job and i'm sick of my husband getting bashed by putting his life on the line, working wrecks of people we know and having to go talk to the family, writing speeding tickets to slow people down so they don't get in an accident. And all everyone does is gripe.
life isn't fair, but i do try my very best to give the cops, state trooper, etc. the benefit of the doubt.
