>Ticket quotas are supposedly illegal<
Not in Tillamook County! I passed a car on a two lane highway, and a cop stopped me for driving "on the wrong side of the road!" And yes, I got a ticket. This was in early evening, late summer. I was convinced that officer had a quota!
The older I get, the less I respect the police. For the most part they are bullies left over from high school who hide behind a gun and a badge. I have been caught in a speed trap as well, in New Orleans where we all know how "pure" the police force is there....I got a lawyer and paid nothing....I guess I would rather pay one species of vermin rather than another.
Were you in a passing zone?
