cops! got to love them!

[growly]

What people seem to forget is the RCMP have departments like highway patrol,that's pretty much all they deal with,leaving the other cops to deal with the guys doing OTHER crimes. As a mechanic and an X tow truck driver,I for one applaud the RCMP for enforcing traffic laws.

AFAIC if you can afford a nice new sled and purdy aluminium deck, you can afford to have the proper tow rig or pay the fine.

I understand ur frustrations and agree with you to some point. Yes they should have discretion and they can use it. But ask yourself how your attitude was towards them.......if you're ignorant do you really think they're gonna give you a break or should???? What would you do if someone was ignorant to you at work????

It's your decision to wear your seatbelt, speed, blow thru a stop sign, drive your half ton when your overweight........you know its all illegal so why b*tch about it when you get caught????

They probly have been to an accident where someone was hurt or worse someone was killed because of speeding, no seatbelt, etc. Pretty sure if your family member was hurt or killed cause of some other dumba** on the road you'd be complaining that the cops dont do enuf enforcement.

I say this cause I think its chit that people complain about the job they do and yes I have a family member who is a cop. They dont get any credit when they do a good job but get bashed a lot by people who dont have a clue what they have to deal with. Ya they go for coffee........most every other person who has a job will take a coffee break you just dont see them cause they dont wear uniforms and drive police cars. Maybe someone should complain about every other job where people stop for coffee.

When you pick up a gun and a radio and chase after someone who just stabbed someone else, check the pulse of a kid who was just hit by some driver who blew through a stop sign and find that the kid is dead, go to a domestic at the same house with the same drunks for the 3rd day in a row or listen to people swearing and yelling at you all day for doing your job maybe then you'll know what they go through for their entire career.

Back to the original post........you know they're out there checking people so why not prepare yourself and your vehicle so you dont get any tickets.

Like said before, I dont want any enemies especially those that are sledders.......but you have your opinions and these are mine.

Stay safe everyone......on the road and on the hill.
