I guess making pot legal freed up a lot of their time.

If they layoff the cops they are surely qualified to work for the IRS.

I used to live in a town like that. They would send a cop to the only red light in town on foot. He would walk the median strip and issue tickets for not wearing a seat belt. He was not allowed to return to his car or to the station until he had twenty tickets written.
Some days the poor SOB would be out there for ten hours COMPLAINING that "everyone is wearing their seatbelt".

but in 2013 ticket revenues generated $621,099 more than half of Mountain Views municipal budget
**********************************************************************
That amount would just pay salaries and benefits of their 10 cops.

“Traffic tickets in Campo comprised 93 percent of the towns budget in 2013. That was more than $300,000 for the town of 107 people. The town relies on tickets. Without them, said Mayor Tim Grey, services would be significantly reduced.”
In Georgia, if a police or sheriff's department obtains more than 35% of it's revenue from speeding fines, it loses it's radar operation permit. Fines for speeding in excess of 20 mph over the posted limit are excluded from the calculation.

Those towns and many like them should be burned to the ground. That is organised crime. The bad thing about it is that any warrant issued would be honored anywhere. If you are an officer working for those criminal org shame on you. Good riddance if you push the wrong buttons on the wrong guy.

Morrison's policy is that police will only stop and ticket those drivers exceeding the posted limit by more than 15 miles per hour, said the chief. HorseHillery! The speed limit in Turkey Creek canyon is 45. 50 will get you pulled over, I see it when I haave to go to town. They are highwaymen, shaking down motorists to fund their paychecks. (No, they haven't gotten me)
