Do you trust cops?

[bd50]

I don't hate cops - not at all but am really upset of how some of them are. I have a lot of friends that are cops and some of them actually are doing staff against the law when they are not on duty and of course they get away with it. But when I got pulled over 4 years ago with 100mph on my bike I received a ticket and not only a speeding ticket I also got a reckless driving ticket(also did 100 hours community service, 6 months probation, drug tests). By the way that was the first time I got pulled over and my first time going over 100mph. So I don't hate cops but they(most of them) are not perfect at all, not even close to it. Once a cop told me that all the tickets are all about the money, that's what justice is - he said to me. I can talk all day long about how cops are and what they've done that is bad for the simple fact cause I know a lot of them. So please don't tell me I should trust them. Peace.

cops dont get a dime from tickets they write. it all gets split between the city, county, state, dmv.

now if they go to court on a ticket that is being contested, then they make overtime.

haha.. most times cops go to court when they are on duty bro. so no they are not making overtime. you protesting some dumb ass charge that you are prolly guilty of and taking a cop off the street for a few hours thats about all that is happening. not only that but the mojority of cops are on salary.

Where does their salary come from? Do police departments have money trees inside them that they pick $100 bills from on payday to pay all the cops?

It's called taxes from the businesses in the city that pay for city/county employees which pays for fire departments, city roads dep etc.... and only $.11 of every dollar goes to ALL city employees, while $.51 goes to the schools. ALL the money from tickets goes to the schools in Nebraska except $2 that goes to the Law Enforcement Academy.

Is there a higher authority than the cops that also works for da gubament, and therefore also gets paid by da gubament that tells the cops or the cops bosses to bring in no less than x ammt of $ from tickets?

What would happen if the police department in your town and the 9 closest towns to you all of a sudden stopped turning in any traffic tickets? Do you think anyone would notice? Do you think anyone would be upset? Why?

Let me tell you why, tickets are a TAX. Gubament taxes or gubament doesn't exist. If a group of cops whose job it is in part to write tickets stop writing tickets for any length of time they will be punnished and eventually transferred or fired.

I don't care if the money from tickets goes into gubament box A and money from toll booths goes into money box B and money from gas tax goes into money box C...gubament works together and someone is gonna get chewed out if the police stop bringing in TAXES via TICKETS.

This is not accurate. In most cases, cops are not allowed to incur OT to go to traffic court and will actually have their shift changed or modified so that will not happen.
