It proves what we’ve all suspected for years. It’s about revenue generation, not public safety.

The sad thing is, while other professions are having to tighten their belts due to reduced revenue, the FOP will demand funding at regular or higher levels to compensate.

Here the city council took over $1 million from the Louisville Free Public Library budget to "fix" it.

They'll still get their pound of flesh without the ticket revenue.

My friend's dad was a cop. One day he told me that his dad would sit at the exit for the hov lane and pull people over for not having multiple occupants in the car. I argued that if he was trying to help he should sit at the on ramp to keep those cars from getting on the hov in the first place. All he was doing was generating revenue.
