it cost money to go after a drug dealer...they make money on speeders


Ashley D
well, because the cop can SEE you doing over the speed limit. as for the guy selling crack, they may not know he is selling crack


POST 1036
Because they cant frisk or arrest him if they dont see it.


cpk
because drug busts are planned and they take time :)

Because life is unfair.

Is all about the money cops are revenue collectors not crime prevention officers. Serve and protect is a joke, unless you are speaking from the perspective of the corporatacracy.

Because vehicle code violations bring in money, and throwing a crackhead in jail costs money. I have no doubt that the officers would prefer to kick some crackdealer's butt, given the chance, but their organizations are run by accountants just like your job is.

They're so busy looking at the sticker in the corner of your license plate to see if it's current, that they can't even see the sidewalk (where crime happens) anymore.

It's a very sad commentary.

it's easier to write a speeding ticket than to wrestle a crack dealer to the ground...

cops are opportunists...

Notice you rarely get pulled over when it is raining ?

because the cops do not want to stand in the rain anymore than you do...

It's easier to identify someone "speeding" (even thought to us drivers it's not really) than it is to notice someone selling drugs. Even though at times it's obvious if a person's selling drugs, they're more descreet than a driver.

What? Our state has a problem with meth labs in the rural areas.

because the world is a cruel, messed up, place.
it's not fair, the only people who get what they want are the goodlooking people, and rich people.
sad but true.
