In my little town I watch the cops stop people a lot, one of their favorite spots is visible from my window. But the monthly police report usually shows about 12 tickets a month actually written. Turns out they do a LOT of warnings and only give tickets to the worst offenders.
The cops are popular here, by coincidence.
I was once stopped by the officer because of my stop light did not work.
I was not aware of it, and I could go like that for a while.
I got warning in very professional way, went on and fixed it.
No problem!
Why is this bad?
