#1 I look at the flip side of all of this, having once received a ticket at 5:30am on a rural road in an undeveloped area, for making a rolling stop at a stop sign. With no other vehicles in sight, the cop hiding behind a large tree.

My point being that giving tickets should be based on safety, not forcing the public to "obey the rules".

#2 i think tickets should be based on Market Factors. Hell with safety or rules.

#3 Traffic stop on an early Sunday morning.

Officer: "You missed a stop sign back there."

Me (inadvertently): "Again?!!"

"WHAT?!!" SWMBO explodes. Ensuing tirade from passenger side of car.

Officer stops. Blinks. Takes license, registration and proof-of-insurance from me. Comes back five minutes later with written warning.

Mebbe he felt sorry for me.

#5 I was once caught doing a brazen U-turn on a 2 lane hiway, with traffic moving both ways. The cop cut me a break after I sorried up. Cops will stop any offender with the secondary purpose of checking for wants and warrants. A ticket is not a certainty unless the county derives most revenues from traffic fines.
