The problem is selective enforcement AND too much spare time on their hands. Instead of horassing thoes who would help them in a time of need, they should be nailing drunk driver and putting then in jail. I just watched a Sherrif Deputy sitting at an intersection and about 10 cars ran the STOP signs at the four way stop. What was he doing, playing with his thumbs.
I think it is also a POWER thing I worked with the local PD for ten years and nearly all of them was on a power trip. Don't get me wrong, I support law enforcement, but a lot of them need to chill out a bit. 73 --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Frank R.
