This Weekend Only: Police Going To Do Their Job

The local paper had an interesting story this morning...the police force in this town are actually going to be enforcing laws this weekend! Adding to my theory that cops, especially in my town, are more interested in getting DUI's and cracking skulls then actually serving and protecting the community. I thought that catching speeders and law breakers was an everyday task for police officers but this just proves that law enforcement is very 'selective'. You'd be hard pressed to find an on-duty police officer in this city from 8 AM until 8 PM but the streets are swarming with police once the night-time hours hit.

Speed and run red lights all day with little worries of being apprehended but once the sun goes down, going even a couple mph over the speed limit will get you pulled over. This police force is looking for one type of criminal and one kind only...drunk drivers. It's a big cash cow for the department, looks like they are actually catching 'criminals' and occasionally they'll get a bonus drug paraphernalia charge out of the stop.

The funny thing is that the police department is 'announcing' this stepped up law enforcement activity to the public, which leads me to believe that this is just a big rouse. Having undercover cops dressed up as city workers? Who are they looking to bust? Pan handlers?

Barren Wasteland, ND is very close to living in Nazi, Germany because the police know that if you are not part of the police then you must be a criminal and you will be caught.
