Default another undercover

On my way to work this morning, I saw an Acura being followed at about 80mph by a burgundy Jeep Commander on I-66... Sure enough, lights started flashing in the Commander. No antenna, no markings.... Heads up guys!!!

Another reason why FFX is fucking gay. Unlike most PD's, which use undercover vehicles for say.......real crimes like busting up drug and prostitution rings. Fuckfax has one of the largest fleets of undercover cars around, most of them being newer vehicles. And you know what they use most of them for.........traffic enforcement.

well hopefully the ffx county board of supervisors read dragva and they will see this thread, then realize the waywardness of their approach to law enforcement.

or you could complain in a legitimate forum like a board meeting.

Their approach will not change because they are motivated by money. Its the same thing with the red-light camera's. FFX Co. is pushing hard to reinstitute the program, and not just reinstate the program but also to increase the fine.

They have decided to ignore the fact that red-light camera's increase the overall accident rate at intersections. That there is a much more effective (and safer) way to reduce red light violations. One such study was done in FFX county at the intersection of the Pkwy&Fairlakes Dr, the yellow light interval was extended by 2 seconds. Amazingly, the number of red light runners decreased dramatically.

But why would they want to do that? Its simple and effective. Or maybe FFX just misses the millions of dollars they made from those red-light cameras.

ya holland tried this approach with drugs and the number of drug offenders decreased significantly!

so send them a link to this thread so they know you are onto their case and then offer to work as a traffic enforcement consultant.

They are already well aware of the facts and solutions. They have chosen to ingore the alternatives because they do not generate revenue.
