But would you have changed her tire in single digit temperatures after getting caught in her speed trap, or would you have done the "Dionne Warwick" as I did?

IMHO, actions like hers, at least indirectly might result in more officers dying in the line of duty, particularly in small town police departments. Very often, the budget allocated to law enforcement is influenced by the local v**ers, whose attitudes towards their local departments is influenced their own person experiences with said officers. Like I said before, excessive attention paid to traffic enforcement is a sure way for the local police department to be seen as a thorn in the side of John Q public, and can affect how much is budgeted towards it. This includes number of officers, as well as quality of equipment and training. Perhaps the use of one officer in a patrol car was a result of this. A single female officer on a dark street is clearly at more risk than she ought to be. Maybe I wasn't a gentleman, but she was lucky I only left her stranded by the side of the road. Next time it could have been a gang banger in a stolen car who was willing and able to leave her lying dead in a ditch. This "speed trap" policy could even affect police in other ways. In trials of cop k**lers, those on the jury might have had varying experiences with law officers during their lives. Enough negative experiences amoung enough jurors might result in a cop k**ler getting off scot free.

We don't get single digit temperatures here, however I have changed many many tires in three digit temperatures and the tires weren't all mine.

There was nothing in that attitude that gets cops k**led everyday... on the other hand it's i***t incompetent cops shooting unarmed people that generate attitudes.

Even more than speed traps
