    Did you ever have a favorite fishing spot, had good results a lot? Cops are rated on thier production. Think about that. When you pull that big truck over it's a signal. In Virginia, as soon as a cop sees you pulled up, they come right over, they don't want you stopped on the road. Take a few minutes, pull off the road, then you don't attract any undue attention.

    OR, is it possible that due to the complexity of their crime, it takes more training, knowledge, and MUCH more hours to get evidence for a conviction? hmmmmm?
    The white collar crime is somewhat new to our society, as compared to the blue collar stuff, drugs, robbery, murder, etc., but in no way less serious! I to would like to see MUCH more focus on white collar crime, starting with the politicians, but that's fodder for another discussion.

    Now your being silly. How on earth can one parallel a zebra(a ungulate herbivore) and a lion(a apex carnivore) to humans via a race separation/segregation due to a crime type? At best, laughable. :biggrin_25525:

    Crime complexity? What? Are you saying it requires LESS training/knowledge/hours for a LEO to arrest and gather evidence for drugs, robbery, rape, murder...etc than to arrest and gather evidence on someone for "white collar" fraud or any other crime deemed "white collar"? I would hope not.

    I disagree, "white collar" crime has been around a long long time. Consider early humans trading "rare" sea shells for some caught fish, only to find a beach full of the same sea shells a few miles away(fraud).

    I too would like to see more focus on "white collar" crimes.

    Peace

    99 % of drivers know what they are hauling . the one that does not raises a red flag to me .how can you take a trailer not knowing if the load can possibly hurt you or the public . just trying to give an example of a driver that may need to be looked into a little further than the normal guy .how about a driver with a load of produce in a reefer that is not turned on to keep the load cool ? no answer why . maybe the load is hiding something else . certain things raise questions to me.who is paying this guy for a rotten load of lettuce . not normal to me .

    racial profiling is absolutely racist. the very title says it all. I think a cop should be just as alert if he pulls over a 90 year old white woman driving a buick as he would if he pulled over a young black man driving a chevy with tinted windows and sitting on 24"s. there are just as many old white women in prison for robbery, rape, murder and drug trafficking as there are young black males.

    I'm glad your impressed. No, I'm not a CSI guy, are you?
    I find it scary that you assume/say a LEO requires less training/knowlege/hours for potential capital crimes than for white collar crimes. Please, explain why this is your assumtion.(the only thing you stated earlier is that meth users "throw themselves into a cops lap") You think that is valid reasoning? If so, I am at a loss(lost/fog).
    White collar crime(fraud) has been around as long as there has been an exchange monetary system, first seen in ancient Mesopotamia around 9000 B.C.

    What on Earth does white collar crime have to do with slaves and cotton fields?

    Not so fast, I agree with you very little... :biggrin_25525:
