Funny story...
Well, not so funny, but rather sick, twisted, and sad.
There is a bad intersection about 3 miles away from my house where they have at least one accident a week. It's inconvienently the intersection where the exit from the parking lot where we have our weekend "Cruise-ins" are.
Caveat: The following story could be interpreted as happenstance.
One Friday night, there was a BAD accident, where an Explorer t-boned a mustang at about 40 mph while trying to beat a light, while the mustang was making a left turn without the right of way. We called 911, and waited almost half an hour for anyone to show up. Including the police. Serious injuries to the girls in the Mustang. They had to use the Jaws of Life to get them out. Luckily, no one died.
The very next night, similar situation. Pathfinder vs. Mercedes, almost exactly the same spot, position, everything.
THIS TIME, we called 911 and reported street racing on US31N, because we were pretty disgusted at how long it took them last night. And every time we make a "lap" around the area going the speed limit and obeying traffic laws, we always get harassed. (Ok, some morons/ricers like to try to tag along and do dumb E36 M3.)
LITERALLY 4 minutes passed when an officer showed up.
Maybe someone else called it in as an accident. I'm sure someone did. But it just seems extremely ironic how this all happened.
I live next to a cop. He shares about the same sentiments. He's disgusted with the "guilty by association" bs that the officers tend to pull. If ONE person is doing something dumb within the whole group, they WILL pull over 10 cars or so, and fish for stuff to give tickets for.
It IS all about the revenue.
I'm not saying speeding is good, blah blah blah... i don't complain when/if i get a speeding ticket, or any ticket for that matter, as long as i was guilty.
"Yes officer, i was going 65 in a 55mph zone. I'm sorry."
That goes a long way. Officer doesn't have to deal with an attitude, and you don't get the third degree, and you can move on with your life after recieving a fine for what law you've broken.
