Lt. Vance should do us all a favor, take a hike and fade into obscurity.
**This is not a quota. Troopers have discretion, Vance said.
There is nothing more difficult for a Connecticut state trooper than to stop a family a husband, a wife, a couple of children in the back for a motor vehicle violation, and hand that family a $275 ticket for violation of the rules of the road. But we look at that family and hope that we have saved a life.**

>>Connecticuts state police union is
angry over a memo<<
The union is *angry*....not calling for this supervisor's head on a pike...*angry* they got caught?
*Angry* they have to explain away their depravity, again.
These damn fools get a food allowance in their paychecks. Morons.

It might be going a bit far for just a traffic ticket, but involvement in a scheme like this would taint that officer for all other subsequent tickets.
I can't remember what the legal term is for this information, but any derogatory info regarding a law enforcement officer is discoverable by the defendant. That is why it is so surprising how many police officers win their jobs back in arbitration after serious misconduct. That officer is almost useless to his department because any arrest he makes will be challenged on his history of poor integrity.

When they're not vying for take-out pizza, cashing in on bonuses, they're tracking us on our cell phones...

Heh. Who would drive into NH for pizza? Not worth dying for.
Actually, three college pals and I drove from Chicago to New Haven in 1983 for just that reason. Oh, and next time, try Sally's, NOT Pepe's.

1983 NH is far different than 2012 NH...trust me on that. ;)
I could argue *best* pizza 'til the cows come home...and you won't find *it* in NH.

I spent 2.5 hours and 220 bucks (After I'd paid $207 for the temp tags) at the DMV yesterday and I swear the clerk was a cross between Rachael Maddow and Tony Soprano.

Wooster Street is still pretty safe. I visit the area somewhat regularly. Modern Apizza on Grand is in a scarier section. A New Haven-style pizza restaurant finally opened in Chicago, so I no longer have to go 1,000 miles, deal with Sally’s crazy hours or lines.
I wouldn’t rule out very good pizza places in other areas (a transplanted NYer) supposedly opened a top notch place inPhoenix, of all places. Still, I think Sally’s coal fired oven that has been fired up for over 70 years gives the place a significant edge over any would be competitors.
