Tell me, which decision is fair?

Cops take on tickets with our own spin

--Take out the ticket book to scare her and ask stupid questions about where she's going in such a hurry - then ask if she knows the correct speed limit (aways answer 10 miles LESS than the posted speed)

THEN : Wait patiently while you sweat as he runs your information and walks slowly back to your car (be polite but ready to cry at a moments notice)

--Pretend to start writing said ticket while looking at her registration and license

--Step back with a stern face and tell her if you see her again going too fast he'll take her to jail

You: Thank cop profusly and drive off exactly the speed limit and keep a good eye out for that cop in the future expecially if it's on a route you travel all the time,

If all else fails - tell the cop you were blow drying your hair out the open window - worked for me !

... to this and previous sidesplitting post. V ... you are just nutts!

I know everyone gets tired of hearing, "way back when ... ", but here goes. In the beginning [YT's beginning] when there were just a handful of us "old timers" and we were just talking amongst ourselves and the most drama we read, well, there wasn't any drama. Then YT began to grow [a lot of it caused by our invitations and spreading the word] and it grew, grew and grew.

Admin always kept the peace, made the rules with input and opinions from members and just generally made this a fun, educational and all around great place to be. With so many new people, personalities, etc. it grew so large that Admin needed good people to help him keep the peace and maintain it's reputation as the best Yorkie site on the web. I trusted his decisions then and I trust them now.

I would like to thank Ann, Admin and everyone else behind the scenes for maintaining the integrety of YorkieTalk ... it cannot be an easy job!!

Option #4 "Cuff 'em...and...stuff 'em"

Seriously though....I understand what you're saying and appreciate the difficulty in making some decisions here....ALSO....think you do a marvelous job Ann and Admin!

Jen offered 'option 5' so here is my option 6 none of my options apply to school zones or even texting. You see a cop - drop that phone !

You see a reportable post here - report it one time only cause the there will be others doing the same thing and she is so busy being a mod - she can only do so much..and we WANT her to be able to post rather than be the po-po

Well said.

[Mom to Hot Rod]

Thanks for all the wonder work that you do! I'm sure that it can' be easy.

[Sugar's Mom]

I also appreciate the work you do. I know when people pm you or admin, that sometimes it is based on rumors and falsehoods without that person knowing the actual facts or only hearing one side of the story which may or may not be the truth and you have to try to sort it out. That in itself is a huge job. All the admins and mods do a great job.

I agree, thank you!

[Rhetts_mama]

It's a privately owned board, so the admin and mods have every right to handle things as they see fit. We are their guests here.

Thanks for allowing us to be here.
