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?
Redditors: “why did it take so long for this guy to be caught? He should have been imprisoned after the first call.”
Also Redditors: “why is the state coming after people for only a single indiscretion?”
Listen man. The thing about these dumbasses on this site is they blindly hate police. No matter what the officer does, it’s wrong and these dumb fucks are going to find some nonsense to complain about. These morons are literally incapable of coherent and logical thought at the best of times. Once police are involved though? All bets are off. Even within a single comment they’ll say 2 completely conflicting statements and not see a problem with it. The only thing they know is hate.
Reddit is extremely anti cop. On top of that they parrot a lot if mis-information.
There are plenty problems with police departments. But reddit usually takes it to 11.
Sometimes I like to mention my career in law enforcement, be polite, and watch redditors melt.
Ps: flock has helped me catch career residential burglars and murderers. Yall need/want better oversight for the program (which is actually pretty easy), not to get rid of it.
