What is your opinion of police officers where you live?
|
I live in Hualien Taiwan. The police here seem to neglect their duty in enforcing traffic violations. Thus, there are many traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths. I came from the USA, where "traffic citations" were generally feared (most likely due to the resulting increase in insurance rates). Am I nuts to think there is a relationship between effective law enforcement and safe driving? Or, is it only a matter of financial consequences? Do police in your area look the other way, simply because they don't want to do the paperwork required?
FYI: I have long held great respect for law enforcement officers. They have one of the most difficult jobs to perform effectively, and suffer a variety of foul consequences in attempting to do so.
What's your opinion?

Good for you that you've never had the misfortune of dealing with a NY city or a Suffolk County or Nassau County cop. They are all overpaid blowhards. The majority of them have a Napoleon complex . They are disrespectful, violent, and rude. I have worked for the law and know what I am speaking about. For the dozen or so cops out there who may have a decent bone in their body, they still get a thumbs down from me because they are still part of the 'code of silence' and when they see evil, they do nothing about it. For all you people who have been victimized, be sure to check out copwatch.com /youtube.com/ and find out about legal services available through Policeabuse.com. |

Pretty boring city. Police have nothing better to do here than get anal about traffic violations. |

actually, police officers here make money by writing tickets. some police officers can actually take things too far in terms of saying what you were doing. if a cop says you were weaving, but you weren't, oh well. its your word against his and the courts usually believe the police officers word above the civilians. |

How many people would put themselves in harms way for you. We just buried 3 of Pittsburgh's best. They were shot in cold blood by a nut job with an AK-47. It was hard saying good bye to those heroes. Those KNIGHTS IN BLUE |
