Law enforcement needs revenue to perpetuate themselves and they have gone from Protect and Serve to something like the tax man out of a Popeye movie. If we have enough policeman to hide in bushes outside of mall parking lots all day long, writing $300 tickets to cash strapped citizens who are trying to figure out how to make their next mortgage payment, we have way too many policemen. Way too many! Time to thin the ranks!

I can honesty say that is the craziest/dumbest post I think I have read on this site. You honestly think tickets for people who choose to not wear their seat belts will have an affect on the budget issue in Calif? Or, that the intent is NOT to save lives??
Too many cops? Time to thin the ranks? Wow... criminals out there would vote for you.
