Look at the statistics...It's all about revenue. Look at the statistics when they do stops for DWI in the name of "safety". At least locally, I have read the articles that say how many tickets were issued, and how many were alcohol related, and it is usually around 2%. I'm all for safety, but too many things are done in the name of safety that are just BS. Go to court for almost any traffic infraction, and they quickly reduce it to non moving which makes people happy, but really it is so the municipality does not have to share the revenue with the state. Last time I was in Greenport town court for a minor traffic ticket, there must have been 65 people, all got reduced to the same thing, and they even lowered peoples fines if they paid in cash on the spot!MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16383337895712738766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-72919935584806013342019-05-22T22:08:49.042-04:002019-05-22T22:08:49.042-04:00It's not harassment it's them looking out ...It's not harassment it's them looking out for the safety everyone in the vehicle.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011774681740166084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-66708718863181931662019-05-22T17:55:33.814-04:002019-05-22T17:55:33.814-04:00It's called harassment ...It's called harassment ... leonardo siderihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238144897574760385noreply@blogger.com
