Ask A Police Officer
I have been kicking this idea around for a while, and thought I'd give it a try. Rules for the thread:
1 - NO COP BASHING! If you want to ask a question, you will get an unbiased answer from a law enforcement professional. Any police officer may answer a question, but we are unfamiliar with rules and laws in all 50 states, but you will get the best answer we can give. 2 - All Registry rules apply. No religion, politics, foul language, nekkid girlies, etc. 3 - All answers and advice given are solely the opinion of the posting person. This is NOT to be taken as legal advice, just another point of view to help you with a particular situation. Mach1Registry.com, it's owners, moderators, operators, persons posting in this thread and members cannot be held liable for false or misleading information presented in this thread (sorry, had to). All opinions expressed in this thread are the opinions of the posting member, and may not be the opinion of the Registry or it's sponsors. OK, waddaya think about a thread like this? Good idea? Bad idea?

Re: Ask A Police Officer
lol nice IMU
guess ill bust the 1st question, why the newer younger cops always gotta give you a ticket, while the older cops just give you a warning unless you seriously act like an ******* or really did something stupid

Re: Ask A Police Officer
Cool idea!
My questions-- Are there such things as traffic ticket quotas and is their extra compensation for those that write over a certain amount of tickets in a month? And is there a time of month you'd be less likely to write a ticket and give a warning instead? I've only had one ticket in my life (and in my work truck) so this is just one of those "I was wondering" scenarios. Thanks!

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I think it's an excellent idea as long as the proper respect is paid to the person or persons giving answers. Probably will need an outside moderator to "keep the peace"...

Re: Ask A Police Officer
I like the idea.
Last night the Mach got keyed down the left side of the car. I didn't see who did it but earlier in the day at 7/11 (1 block away) there was a guy cussing at me for a good 2 minutes b/c I wouldn't give him beer money. Question is: If I see this guy again is there anything that could be done by the police? Such as talking to the guy to see what he knew or something. Thanks. |

Police departments do get a small cut of the fines you (and I) pay for citations. This goes back into the department for traffic education, equipment (radar, speed limit signs, DUI checkpoints, training, motorcycles, etc.). But the courts get most of the fines for court cost reimbursemeny=t (salaries and stuff). I hope this answers your question!

Re: Ask A Police Officer
One good idea i have is that if a cop wants to volunter for this duty he would be given a screen name like
freindly officer #45 so if he chooses he can protect his other online persona

Re: Ask A Police Officer
This is for all police officers in states with right-to-carry laws. What has been your experience with and/or your opinion of allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns.

Re: Ask A Police Officer
In Massachusetts when a citation is issued and paid by the violator (no court proceedings held), 50% of the fine collected goes to the town that issued the citation, and the other 50% goes to the state.
I learned this info out the hard way...
