Now this is a fantastic subject.
Being a trucker for 39 year I used to get tickets left and right back when the speed limit was 55mph coast to coast, that never bothered me, I just figured it was part of doing business. The part that did bother me was, more often than not I was treated like I just killed their mother.
Then I had 2PA state troopers come to my house and give me harassment summons for the way I mow my lawn, of course they were just defending my corrupt union neighbor that had just burned down his shed to collect 80,000 bucks. His fire burned down a row of pine trees that separated our properties that belong to me, they tried to get 14,000 bucks out of me the same time I went for the harassment charge, for trees that belong to me. Everyone including the judge would not even listen to me about the fire, the state police actual words were, I don't want to hear it.
Obviously this is a lot longer than I can post here, but the proof is still here, for those that think this is made up.
But I would ask you folks to consider one thing when you weigh all of the evidence against these people. Why on God's green earth would you want to pay then twice of what their starting pay was, for a pension for doing absolutely nothing for the next 30 or 40 years. The people that came up with these pensions were corrupt as the day is long and the corrupt went along with it.
They are not hero's, they are revenue agents.

I once called police because i had observed a person trespassing on my property at 3 am one morning. When an officer finally arrived....6 am, he stopped me in the middle of my description of what happened, and said " we get these type of calls all the time, the guy was probably just crossing your property to get from point A to point B. BTW what were you doing looking outside at 3 AM?" ???????huh....... i immediately ordered the idiot off my property.
It is trivial compared to so many other examples, but just goes to show the mentality of some of these fine men in blue.
BTW Two weeks later saw the same perp trespassing again. This time instead of calling police, i put two well placed rounds from sks above his head, i've never seen a trespasser since, in 5yrs.
