Is it true that rookies cops try to chase everything and veterans prioritize?

In other words, rookie cops pull over every seatbelt violation they see and veterans do not because all they would be doing all day long is writing seat belt tickets.

For the most part, yes. However, it depends on the officer. I personally didn't really go through that "rookie phase" as they call it. I was more lenient and was never really the type to pull people over for trivial things.

Yes, they have little idea of what the areas needs are. And there is power in pulling over people that needs to be controlled.


Reality has a Liberal Bias
Sounds right.

This is consistent with the difference between novices and experts in pretty much any field -- the novices try to look at every variable and the experts, who have much more knowledge (of course), know what's important in a particular situation.
