cop once told me: If its a sunny day outside, I pull you over, your polite, I might let you off, If its raining or snowing and you make me get out of the car, your getting a ticket. ---

> [@ILC](#): > > at 3am, under speed is a typical sign of someone being drunk… I also imagine that there would be some other accompanying sign or abnormal driving to accompany this. I imagine someone going under would be nervous about getting pulled over. The well seasoned drunk drivers probably speed since they’ve gotten away with it so many times. ---

BAD THREAD JACK into complaining about how comps handle their work. > [@sedlmeier101](#): > > A bit different than doing 75 in a 50… 15 over on a thruway isn’t going to hurt anyone… > > rather than fighting real crime… 75-50 is 25… fighting real crime? this isn’t NYC, Detroit, or Miami… i completed internships with Buffalo PD and Orchard Park… Buffalo PD gave no speeding tix, but tons of drug arrestes and assault charges. Orchard Park PD only issued 3 or 4 drug charges in 3 months… and only a few assault charges around Bill’s games Departments will rountinley enforce what is important in their destrict or jurisdiction… speeding tix in buffalo are too insignificant when MORE serious crime is being comitted. PROACTIVE \> REACTIVE—whoever pointed this out is dead on and a violation can lead to stopping the misdomeanor or felony. only bitches complain when they knowingly continue to break the law and get introuble-- mistakes happen so fix them. if not you deserve it. ---

sorry for the rant but ppl. should act mature and understand “YOU HAVE TO PAY TO PLAY.” if you don’t like tickets then don’t speed. if you don’t like paying for an inspection ($20? approx.) then don’t bitch if you get a ticket. ---

> [@steve](#): > > fighting real crime? this isn’t NYC, Detroit, or Miami… Real crime: robbery,mugging,assault,murder…these ALL happen in Buffalo. I’m not a cop so I don’t really know how their jobs go, BUT, I do pay their salaries so I can critique their work… What irks me- drive down the SHITTY ass parts of Buffalo, I’ve spotted drug deals in pure daylight, i’ve saw fights ect… what I DIDN’T see is 1 cop. Deterrence is the biggest goal of law enforcement…You see a cop, you won’t commit a crime… BUT, go walk down on a weekend night, chippewa how many cops do you see? 20…30? I understand having cops there…but I’d rather see them where I think more serious crimes happen… drug deals,murder\>\>\>\>\>drunken fights. BUt that is just my $.02 ---

🙂 > [@nappy1380](#): > > Everyone bitches about “go fight real crime” and all this nonsense. Ever since crime rates in NYC had a major turn around, major metro cities and surround areas are going after “quality of life” type offenses. In other words, the small pain in the ass offenses that most people on here would cry over for days. The beauty is mass policing the constantly occurring “quality of life” crimes means that the people who are doing the more serious crimes are going to get caught beforehand. > > You get a guy for no tail light and end up finding a gun and drugs in his car. Stop a guy for not paying bus fare and find out he’s a wanted felon. Constant policing of the small stuff leads to catching the major crimes before they take place and getting those people off the street with minimal confrontation. > > Proactive \> Reactive AGREED! Thank you:) ---
