    I’ve long maintained that road cops (highway patrol style) are the most necessary cops because drivers are psychos who must be brutally oppressed.

    I’m calling for a dictatorship of the pedestrians/cyclists ecoterrorist

        Chuds when they get a $20 fine for doing 120mph through a school zone: do-not-do-this dorner

            California drivers are having a conniption over mobile speed cameras about to be deployed to road work sites, even though they already have a 11mph tolerance above the limit. No interaction with cops seems like a plus to me.

            They talk about how their appeals are going to be “auto-rejected”. I used to work for a DOT and the reason most of them are rejected is because most of them are bullshit lmao.

      Yeah, traffic control is just about the only good thing the cops do * .

      Says a lot about how fucked of a system car-centrism is, that injecting random patrols by armed men actually improves it.

      * Of course they’re cops so they’ll use this as an opportunity to promote racism
