Garagenc, I know the cost, while it's true I have not gotten a ticket for over thirty years it's also true that in my day of being on the street in a patrol car I averaged about 6-8 tickets a month. Refused to write more and it cost me plenty of walking posts during those years. Those that I did issue I garuantee you, you would have issued them too. Royal Arseholes of the world of driving. The kind you look around when your driving and wish a cop was sitting there. You all know the type.
Over the past ten years, at least in NJ the towns and states have figured how to bring in a lot of extra money, for example not having your vehicle inspected on time in NJ will cost you at least 200 bucks when your done.
You don't even want to know about any more serious moving offenses. Its criminal, I tell you and me and many others in the profession just wont issue to the decent people out there. But there are many more of the young guns who would issue to their moms if they could and could care less about the people we are sworn to protect. These young guys are the ones that are running around like they are on a SWAT mission and about to breach a wall and take out Osama. They are TV and computer raised generation and it is scary.
One of the many reasons I am getting out now is these types, every department has them including mine.
