You know, the police. The police that we see set up in speed traps on every highway in the state. Posted up there all day, all night, handing out tickets like Halloween candy. Would you all agree they would be doing us a much greater service if they were posted up at these boat ramps to deter criminals from making them their personal robbing/drug dealing grounds?

Sadly in my eyes the police are more interested in generating revenue instead of focusing on real crimes and prevention. The real money is not catching real criminals but to write thousands of tckets a week with multiple violations to the average law abiding tax paying citizen. I remember a couple of years ago reading that Metro keeps breaking their record in fines year after year. They have a huge new police station in Madison and brand new cruisers with all the latest gear and we are all paying for that. Pressure needs to be put on the mayor and chief of police through the media.
