In all my time there, I've found it hard to get the atention of an officer. They seem to be one of two extremes: lazy donuts eaters, or busy doing "real" crime fighting. They probably did that just enough times to make the news. On thing DC seem to be really good at is "sending a message". |

I think DC cops and Balto City cops get the same training.... inept and incompetent.... in a very profound way.

I don't know if anyone has noticed the twin cameras mounted on the trunks of some of the Mont Co and Park Police cars pointed out at angles? They are tag readers, as the cops drive around these cameras are looking out both sides of the cruiser logging tag numbers and alerting the officer driving if the tags are expired or any warrents etc in real time.

Many police programs have gone from protect and serve - to fine & dine. Non moving violations - I have seen many people who have pulled over and caused traffic jams resulting in accidents. Roads are no longer made for cops to hand out moronic tickets. 16M MP4 - 12C Bentley SS Conv / RR / AH 3000 / Camaro 69Z28 |

Cops today are a different breed from what they were 20 or more years ago.

i remember the late 70's when they would pull you over and if you were drunk they would tell you to go home! at worst they would tell you to park it and get a ride.
