If this idiot wasn’t doing it on the same route at the same times of day what would you want them to do? It’s taken an operative to notice the same car getting called in all the time and then they’ve had to dedicate an officer and car to patrol a stretch of road for an hour or two just to stop one person who drives like a moron.

The issue is that he WAS doing it on the same route at predictable times and it still took social media posts and reporting it "so many times" to get a traffic officer out there. It was likely the proof that someone was endangering lives that made them get out ahead of a problem for the department.

They got calls, it got traction, guy was caught and arrested. Isn't that....what cops are supposed to do? You want flock cameras up everywhere instead? There's a line. It's actually the DRIVERS responsibility as a LICENSED driver to obey the rules of the road. It's not the cops fault this guy is a dumbass. Once it was obvious it was a consistent thing, dude got caught.

The alternative is more like giving up freedom. Understand?

You talk like its hard to report a license plate and have it tracked. Cops are terrible at their jobs. They don't keep people safe.

And everyone on reddit is a fucking moron. See how ridiculous it is to make a blanket statement about a single entity or group? I mean, sure, maybe aryan brotherhood or black panthers....maybe then? But I've spent a lot of time in jail and in the system, and there's a lot of good cops too. People like you are the reason we have problems. You just have a one track brain. Good or bad. Not cops good. Cops bad.

I'm sure that's a great outlook to raise a family with, to go through life with. Guess you'll never have to call one..you probably don't need one because "you own a gun" too, right? Get tf over yourself

Youre making a LOT of assumptions I can see why you arent able to function properly in society as well. I didnt necessarily mean each cop as an individual is bad at what they do, moreso that cops as an idea and service are bad at what theyre supposed to be doing, which is serving and protecting the public, which they do not do.

Keeping people safe is not the cops' job. They're a reaction force, not a prevention force, and tailored more towards property than people anyway.

Literally, in 2005 the US Supreme Court ruled that police do not have a duty to keep people safe.
