That definitely happened, cops don't care about road safety at all
When I was in college and delivering pizzas the cops let us speed so long as we "donated" pizzas to the office every Friday. I don't think they care about road safety unless it's time to meet quotas.
Well, in small rural places where sometimes the sheriff is your cousin and the judge is your uncle, you can get away with a lot.
And I'm speaking from an actual event that occurred to a family member. (They married into that situation)
I'm confused, it sounded sarcastic but like... Do you think cops care about road safety or not?
Cops don't care about road safety. They're playground bullies with guns who get to terrorise the people who actually passed high school, as long as they protect Capital from protests and uprisings, and keep black people beneath white people in the social order by catching slaves for the prisons.
Glad I asked, I found the story believable for that same reason but wasn't sure if you were sarcastic.
Traffic cops could be a huge help to social order, but nah, rather just be petty tyrants who bring cash into the city via the laziest means of ticketing possible.
I have a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to politics that convinces people I'm some sort of troll when I say completely reasonable left wing political views. I guess other leftists feel the need to qualify and speak softly and really try hard to make themselves understood by the other side. I don't care about making my views palatable to reactionaries, and I guess for some reason that makes them unpalatable to other leftists as well. It's really fucking weird.
Such black and white thinking is very rarely accurate.
