police, NY vs other states

I too live in NYS, orange county for me. The police here are very "proactive" in the traffic department. I really can't complain, though. There have been three people hit and killed on the little road that I live on. The speed limit is 30.

The cops in Marietta, GA are the worst that I have EVER seen, ANYWHERE. I was once arrested and spent seventeen hours in jail (strip searched and the whole nine) because I didn't have my proof of insurance in my car. My fault I know, but that's a bit of an overreaction, dontcha think? And that's not the only freaky experience I had there.

Anyway, back on topic. The cops are not so bad where I live, but my husband did get cussed out by a cop the first time we drove through the city. Ha ha. He didn't go fast enough when the light turned green.

 

being able to maintain oneself in front of authority goes miles in keeping the ticket bug away...

 

Yup, can't argue much with that line of thinking. I always try to remember that the more I argue/disrespect him, the more he writes. And it usually gets expensive when they write too much.

 

Just got pulled into the DOT check at the Mid-Hudson bridge right before 9W in Poughkeepsie the other day for a class 1 DOT inspection. Was calm, courteous, and followed the exact instructions given by the inspector. He was also courteous and professional. Got several violations on the trailer, including an OOS for a nail in one of the tires, but received no tickets. Shows what a little courtesy, appearance and cooperation can do.
