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.

Man, I feel terrible, sometimes I do 25 a day.

But I will give a break to deserving folks. If you are going under 90 I will reduce to 80 so they dont lose their DL's.

Holy cow!! if he worked that hard and got that kind of flame, I could power a hole city!!! Just ask CB!!

Randleman, no offense meant to you, some guys jobs are traffic enforcement specifically. And if that is your main reason for being you will be expected to produce or walk.
But if your job is general patrol officer and you issue those kind of numbers to the people we need to talk brother. Unless NC is a very inexpensive fine state and they don't hammer the working joes with increases in MV insurance for every violation like they do here in the peoples republic of NJ that lasts for three years after your violation.. Plus surcharges to the state for the same violation, again for three years.
It has turned into a money making, people screwing way of life. It is truly a shame here.

Ma is $50 for speeding up to 10 miles over the limit, and then $10 added for every mile an hour you over the that. so if you do 60 in a 40 your ticket is $150 and 5 years on your insurance!! :'(

Willy, When I was a cop in PA., we didnt have to much time to write traffic tickets. Sometimes between bar fights and drug complaints. We were never told we had to write tickets, they new it would be considered a quota system.
Now in Delaware, life as a cop is a differnt story. You are expected to write a certain amount of traffic arrest per hour and at least have two D.U.I. arrest per month.
They call it an "officers monthly evaluation" I still call it a damm quota system. When I was in Fenwick Island, I was expected to write at least 100 tickets per months.
Its a money game for small towns who have radar. Thats why you dont see local police departments in Pa. having radar, they seen Delaware and know its a money maker. But then again, if your dept. writes alot of tickets, its easier to get some Federal Funding grants as well. I have no problem writing a ticket. But I have a problem when I'm told to write a ticket if you know what I mean. Officer descretion all the way I think. ;)
I must have a negative attitude. ;D But I made it this far for so long. ;D

No offence taken Willy.

We have 20 traffic cops, half are on local streets, half are on the highway.

I work the highway, we have I-40, I-85, Bus 85, US 220, US 421, US 70, US 29. About 80 miles worth total.

If I can lower someones speed to 9 over I do it, that way it's no insurance and they dont have to pay a lawyer to get their ticket reduced to 9 over. But if you are running 20 over, you get 15 over, that keeps your license. Plus in NC the insurance cant go up for one violation, but goes up double on the second.
