Most towns have a standard contract for these jokers which lays out the "bonus" (your traffic ticket scheme) and your monthly pay. <BR/><BR/>What you typically see is some joker who can't get hired on with a real police force (Mobile, Huntsville, etc)....so they go to some small town and try to hustle up extra cash and build their networking skills. Most of these guys are failures in life...and this law enforcement game is how they "bully" like they did as a kid. <BR/><BR/>From my hometown in Bama...which shall remain nameless...the local cop of a dozen years finally quit last year (he was to be fired). The guy was taking home all the ticket money...then rigged up the clerk who basically tossed out tickets as the dimwits paid their fine and he learned how to keep the entire amount of the ticket. The mayor eventually figured this out.<BR/><BR/>This guy went ten miles away and got a four-lane ticket scheme...and this year ran for mayor (last week, they had the election...and he won). The town has $200k in their bank account.<BR/><BR/>Since leaving town...the new cop has arrived and become the biggest thorn in peoples sides. This guy has three auxillary part-timers who rig up road-blocks and various bully schemes. Half the town want the cop gone and the young "bulls" terminated. <BR/><BR/>If we talked to Bama folks as a whole....the majority in small towns would prefer to see their cops fired or gone. The larger towns have a process of getting more qualified folks and will fire very quickly if they have issues. The state really needs some kind of program to dump about half the cops in the state...who are corrupt.Schnitzel_Republichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661743281187855265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-61908561492942499952008-10-20T13:50:00.000-05:002008-10-20T13:50:00.000-05:00Loretta ---WOW!

While we are not immune to corruption here in MoTown -- as evidenced by our ex-mayor being a multiple felon awaiting sentencing and a former police chief sent to jail for bribery -- this is "beyond the pale" so to speak.<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
