Cops are on the rag again, saturation patrols to raise $9 mil for holiday overti

[KTMCHEESE]

I saw two badged motorcycle pricks and a 90's era Thunderbird pulling people over on I-5 this morning. A little birdy told me that cops are trying to raise nine million dollars in three weeks for upcoming holiday overtime. Not sure when that started. How can they do that you may ponder? Hmm... well by citing you for nearly anything. Guess they've been given the green light to cite you for only going five over. So you people out there be good citizens, use your blinker, try not to contribute to their corruptive ways and never vote to give them more money, ever...

Try not to bag on the cops. Better to just warn us of the saturation patrols. Some people take big offense to generalizing that they are all pricks. Plus, some of them are our friends. Just my opinion though.  Thank you for the warning though.

[Betty Rage]

Yeah, thanks for the warning.

Stay safe out there er'body.

I have acquaintances who are cops as well. It's not personal at all by saying what I have said. Revenue generation in traffic detail is a highly corrupt effort that they voluntarily partake in. Viewing my displeasure of it on a message board imo is nothing to them and really is all I can do as they have all the powah....

I just want to inform all the locals I can so they don't fall prey to this sting. Are you really gonna tell me that you wouldn't have the same opinions in your head if you got pulled over by one of these parasites?

. . . they are all pricks. Plus, some of them are our friends.

They're not?  

And you have friends?  When'd that happen?

 

[Tailgunner]

Definitely can't afford any tickets when it's $18.04 just to fill my Monsters belly with fuel.

I have bicycle today! Still gotta watch out for these gang members         

 

[Betty Rage]

And you have friends?  When'd that happen?

Yeah, what the hell Ryan? Were you planning on letting us in on this little change?

[ryandalling]

If you look at my profile... I am only a Jr. Member... my titanium one fell off.... that being said... since I no longer got the full set of bawlz on.... and only the junior golf variation... well... I must be PC.  One can only stand being kicked out of one board per week. Next week... watch out... I will be burning bridges.. jacking threads... and pillaging the virtues of well endowed women... okay... the under endowed ones too.

lol, Ryan... I was bored to tears at work, now I'm glad I logged on at lunch.  Good laugh, man. 

I noticed the saturation patrols as well when I was out takin' care of bizness yesterday afternoon.  Drove from work (Tigard) to Wilsonville, saw a motocop between Tualatin/Sherwood exit and the I-205 interchange, and another on the overpass at north Wilsonville (both watching southbound traffic).  On the way back 20 minutes later there was a patrol car lurking on the northbound side.  Faaahdge, glad I wasn't in a hurry!

BTW, watch out for the center median of I-5 between the I-205 interchange and the Tualatin/Sherwood exit.  They like to camp there, and with the way the terrain undulates there, the spot comes into plain view without much warning.

And Randy, thanks for the heads-up about the 5mph thing.  I'll add due caution when I'm out-and-about.

[Betty Rage]

I'm good. I go exactly the speed limit and NEVER do anything wrong.

I'm good. I go exactly the speed limit and NEVER do anything wrong. 

Riiiiiiight. I do the same thing. Hell, I check my mirrors twice and turn on my blinkers well in advance when just changing lanes.

[Bendy]

Don't forget to compound your blinkers with hand signals!

 [leo]Just dont mess around in the city,  save it for the country hills.   They're just doing their job,  and this is from a guy who almost got hired by PPB then got a DUI and is still paying alot of dough for my mistakes.

[KTMCHEESE]

Yeah a drug dealer just does his job too. So does an assasin lol...

Listen, traffic detail is pretty corrupt and unhonorable. Just because they have a badge and the laws are on the books doesn't make what they do legitimate.

[kutter]

I have to agree with Randy, down here in South Florida they will write me a ticket for going 10 over and let every swinging dick on the planet change lanes and turn without signals and lets not forget about running through yellow/red lights. I'm in law enforcement and I can't stand cops.
