Several police agencies have publicly stated that they will begin to have officers curtail their mileage to conserve gas. My only thought - neighborhood patrols prevent burglaries. And traffic enforcement is paramount for safer streets. I never was a big believer in writing traffic tickets. I let a lot of drivers off with a warning and now I KNOW I was wrong. Unruly or fast drivers will only follow laws if you hit them and hit them hard in the wallet. Sometimes I dream that my city create a reserve force and we only work traffic. I know two things - aggressive drivers would stop their nonsense and my hand would hurt from all tickets that I would write.
Anybody disagree?
