increased cop activities...

[Dream of the iris]

I don't know what it's like in the rest of the states but around here in Baltimore it seems like more cops are wandering around handing out tickets. Today I drove by 4 cops just from the bank and yesterday on the same block I ran into 3 cops. I know this is Baltimore but I don't live exactly in Baltimore. I live in a suburban town like 15 to 20 minutes away so you never see this many cops. I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence but do you think the state is trying to increase its revenues in tickets because of this financial crisis? I mean the more I think about it the more it makes sense, but honestly it's just a hunch. What is it like for all of you guys?

I don't know what kind of ammounts these tickets are for but generally I would say that the cost of running operations is always higher than the revenue you can get from tickets. There are just so much costs connected to whatever you order tax funded organisations to do and the money coming into the system from tickets do not amount to anything at all generally travelling through the system of administration and courts and what have you.
However it is natrually very possible that they decided to up their precense in your area for a period for some reason. That's just the way law enforcement operates.

Be careful for a while.

i know what you speak of, i live up here in fredneck and the cops have been cruising lately. actually got po'd when i got caught doing 89 in a 65. but they have been creeping hard lately. i wonder if it is some sort of "crackdown" on crime thing they pull everyso often.
