Is it me or are there a lot more traffic Cops out there giving tickets?

Question

I live in So. CA and we have state budget deficit and this is their way of making up revenue IMHO. Going to work, I can count at least 3 instances of ppl being ticketed EVERYDAY. Don't get me wrong, I am all for safety, but it seems like they are ticketing ppl even when its not a safety issue.

Answer 1

depends were you live some patrolman give many tickets so if your near the areas you may get a ticket easier but look at it this way there just doing there job and it just could be that people drive bad i truly believe that

Answer 2

I live in SoCal too and yes it seems like they are giving more tickets here. But what you are seeing is a normal ratio of tickets issued in direct proportion to the increasing number of IDIOTS on the road.

Answer 3

Yes, no surprise here.  Wouldn't live and drive in So. Cal If U held a gun to my head but the situation is true in many other places.  Tickets equal revenue for cash deficit counties, cities and states.  Are you surprised that more are issued?  Safety has never had much to do with traffic cititations.......it's all about revenue.

Answer 4

They are ticketing more people b/c more and more people are doing things to DESERVE to be ticketed. I live in So Cal, too. Honestly I don't think people aren't being ticketed enough. Look at the morons on the 405 and 5 everyday! No signaling, too fast, too slow, don't know how to pass, etc. I could  go on and on...

Answer 5

Well i thought they were taking some of the cops off of the road? because they dont want to patrol around with all the high gas prices.
