Officer pulls firearm, instead of taser

LOL. I bet if you could you would, so what does that say about you?

That I'm more concerned with your safety than I am your approval?

You do realize that is exactly what anti gun nuts think too right?

How about drawn and quartering? Too much?

If all of the bull sh!t stops are to find drunk drivers, why aren’t restaurant, bar, and night club parking lots full of cops giving free breathalyzer tests? Ya know, protect and serve...

The problem with that is that after Officer John says 'you are good to drive' and Joey plows into someone on the way home. Another reason might be that the club's management might not be too thrilled about it.

Most officers don't do nearly as much DUI enforcement as you probably imagine - it takes time process the arrestee and to do a good report, you end up in court, you don't make many friends with the folks you arrest, and, despite what you might think, there isn't a bounty system.

That wouldn’t fund the system though.

Tag light requirement = base fine and processing $107

So, shouldn't the folks who use the system help fund the system?

In all seriousness, if you are getting written for a tag light there are several things I can think of:

1) the officer thought the ticket was 'needed' to back up what else transpired during the stop, as in: he stopped you because you looked like a stoner and you had a tag light out, he smelled odor of MJ and his dog alerted, probably going to write you the tag light to tie everything togehter;

2) you talked yourself into the ticket;

3) you were ticketed by an officer who feels the best way to approach things and be fair is to issue cites to all he stops - some guys see things black and white like that;

4) you ran into an officer who is on a power trip - their are jerks that are doctors, pastors, cops, teachers, shoe store clerks and so on.....can't be helped;

5) you need to understand that, in particular traffic officers and Troopers have a job description that involves writing such citations, it literally is their job.

Yes, but in my case, I can point to a direct correlation between seat belt usage and fatality reduction. Gun laws, not so much.

True...but like mentioned before, that also goes for eating poorly. People can do to themselves what they want, no matter how stupid you or I think it is and no matter how much "better" we think it is for them. The seat belt law came into play due to insurance lobbyists..thats it. If it didn't save them money or worse, cost them money, it wouldn't be law. Plain and simple. Thinking it was and is done for public safety is nonsense....it would be reversed in the name of "freedom" if for some reason switched and cost the insurance companies more.

I really want to see the articles on doctors, pastors, and shoe store clerks where they have went Hands-On with someone who refused their services.

Will be even better if the article has one of their co-workers show up and join in the fight to force the service to be rendered.

While definitely a tool of influence, drawing and quartering is only realy impactful for those who witness it when it is performed. With the crucifiction the message and the actual suffering is up for everyone one to see, for days.
