The state control board that has been monitoring city spending since 2003 has red-flagged sky-high overtime in the Police and Fire departments as a major concern over the past year. But a crackdown that produces thousands of additional summonses could easily pay for itself in increased fines, said City Finance Commissioner Janet Penksa. Brown indicated that if revenues increase enough to compensate for additional overtime, he wouldn’t have a problem. “We could make a good case that it’s a sound expenditure,” the mayor said. sweet. another tax. ---

It’s all about statistics. The $1000 car with the $5000 stereo driven by the 16-25 year old is far more likely to have drugs in it than the stock buick driven by the 70 year old. :tup: to Buffalo. If you want to pay for police overtime by ticketing idiots great. Better than taxing the people who are following the laws. ---

loud banging music is still very popular among certain demographics… I can see this helping but also being a large pain in the ass. ---

> [@Joe](#): > > sweet. another tax. Just think of it as “sharing.” :lol: I wonder when the socialism jokes will get old? But anyhow, yeah. Amazing. Increased police presence in high crime areas drives down crime. Someone should tell Amherst. Maybe if there were cops everywhere ticketing you for everything they’d be one of the safest towns in America. ---

Lets pull him over. How much profiling do you do at work? Srsly, I can only guess where you guys get “leads” from et al, but I’m willing to bet that you work harder on some then others, why? I’m not saying I agree with the doctrine. I do agree that it is effective. Does it impune on civil rights? No, but it’s close. Can you argue with the results? Sure, but at least there are results to argue about. IB4Violater. ---

Whens the last time you read about a major figure getting taken down in a “tint” traffic stop? Srsly, hang out on NFB sometime. You can literally see 4-5 cars pulled over in a given evening. Yes, most, if not all of them are for DWB. But half, if not more of them end up going away in cuffs or having the car towed.
