bummer...getting sick of these lazy cops across this nation cant be bothered to actually do what there paid to do, I want the old days back where there was a little police work done to the a holes and bad guys off the record....you mean they cant run the plate and have a car drive by the owners house knock ask about the cars tags being expired and it was seen driving just to rattle them a little???
but they have all the time to sit along side the road and hand out speed trap tickets to people running 5 over, there worthless in the Seattle area.

And that frustration is why Clint made "Dirty Harry" in 1971.
The cops down in my area suck too. They come here from other departments nationwide for the high pay/benefits and the cushy (low crime rate) duty. Lazy is the best word to describe them. Well, there was one who dealt with a problem I called about and he had just transferred up here from the Compton, California PD. The problem in my neighborhood was, shall we say, the same thing he had seen daily in Compton, and he was not ready to see that where I live. He dealt with it promptly and we then talked a while about it and my faith in the local PD was boosted--a little. Oh, and my neighborhood "problems" have been solved by the recent foreclosure crisis! Bye-bye a-holes!
