You sure are a character :)
But as my original comment pointed out, it was clear she knew she was not risking her life in my area known for its low crime and she felt foolish having to do such a meaningless task.
I gotta real example for you that meets your point, For years Maryland police were doing radar speed trap flagdowns so they could pull over multiple speeders without a moving car for each speeder. Eventually a officer got ran down and killed by a woman who didnt spot him when being flagged down jumping in front of her.
Clearly they were asked to risk their life for $$$ here (not the $25 they will get from me for them doing nothing.) What did the state do? They tried to indite the poor driver for manslaughter. The grand jury threw it out and the police ended the practice. I completely questioned the sanity of that suicidal policy with many people I know and even posted the news article on it here.
there is very likely a correlation between bambamonomics and the cost of tickets vs the spike in lEOs gettin shot during 'routine' revenue enhancement activities of late...
i wont lose sleep over oath breakers that get dead whilst robbing their masters...
Sort of Key Stone COPS material.
