Police are revenue generators primarily and public service is secondary.
Though I'm a blinker nazi, use your blinker.

You got a ticket for failing to use a turn signal? Are you serious?

Hate that parish. I don't buy anything in that parish, ever. Drive thru it, but never stop.

In Orleans, a rolling right on red costs around $140, and you won’t know about it until the ticket from the camera arrives in the mail about 4 weeks later.

In my case my brake lights were on in the picture.

But you don’t have to pay camera tickets, and that’s a great feeling.

Thanks for the heads up. I plan on canceling a long weekend I had planned in Alexandria next week. I’ll spend my $750 somewhere else.

I'm a law abiding peaceful person, but that is the kind of banana republic shakedown shite that would make me consider becoming a small scale terrorist to seek revenge.

That’s why departments have let their officers become fat, tattooed, idiots. They are there to generate revenue, not to protect and serve

Have you met the Orleans Parish 'failure to maintain vigilance'?

Good. I hate lazy people, and nothing is lazier than not bothering to use your turn signal.

The idea is to make you not want to do it again.

Well, think of it this way. You've probably done something similar hundreds of times without being caught. So the real per-violation fine is something like 50 cents.

There are times when blinkers are absolutely needed and times when they are pointless.

I’ve been driving for 30 years. I’m not going to use a turn signal when there is no one to signal.

If some a-hole cop popped out from behind a bush and popped me for not signaling at an empty intersection, I’d be livid.

I did leave a part of this story out. The officer gave me a really hard time about not having registration with the car. It is a rental car and the only papers Enterprise gave me were the normal check-out papers they give you when you rent a car. I had the reservation on my phone as well that I showed the officer. He re-iterated several times that he decided not to give me a ticket for lack of registration but to be sure to have it in the future. Thing is - rental car companies rarely give you the registration and the check-out papers are what typically as as that.

Location: For those wondering the exact location was in Boyce. So be careful around those parts.
