I used to...but I rarely ever see a police (city, county, state) out in my immediate area. I never see them with anyone pulled over. It explains why we have so many traffic accidents and speeding out of control.

Not from my experience.
I was once caught speeding (long time ago) by a California Highway Patrolwoman...and when she stopped me (this was just before entering the Bay Bridge from San Francisco to Oakland)...she asked for my registration...I couldn't find it...but realized it was in my glove compartment.
When I opened it...there was a packet of Zig-Zag's (yeah, that kinda paper, lol)...I got really nervous...and she said..."you are not smoking and driving, are you?"
I said, "no officer, those are not mine, they are from a friend!"
She said, "riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..." And then she LAUGHED...I was bewildered to say the least.
Anyway...she walked to her patrol car, made a background check on me...came back to my car...and said, "I know you are not under the influence of marijuana, because that causes people to drive slower, not faster, and you were going pretty fast...I'll just give you a warning, just please slow down a bit"...then she laughed again...and went back to her patrol car...I couldn't believe my luck, lol.
Absolutely a true story...I'm not making this up.sigpicComment

That was because you're in SF
If you were in some hick area's of Pensy she would have called in for backup and 4 huge rednecks would have wrastled you to the ground ... just for the papers ... no kidding

After spending 6 months on the grand jury I am convinced that every time a cop is behind me (or anyone else) they are running your plate. Not that I have anything to worry about but make sure every light is working on your car including the license plate light. They will look for any reason to pull you over and start searching. I used to like the police but not after all that I heard and saw. I wish I was never chosen to serve on that jury. I will NEVER look at the police the same way again.

Many moons ago my old man was a town cop for a short time.
My mom said he quit because he hated giving out tickets
He liked being a farmer much better --- less tickets

Over here they don't run license plates or pull you over for a broken tail light, they just don't care it seems.Okay, this morning coming to work I past a State Trooper coming the other direction. He turned around just as I passed him and followed me the rest of the way up the road to a stop sign , a left turn and 2 right turns before he turned away.Followed me for almost 10 mins.I just bet he was hoping for a rolling stop or a swerve into the other lane. Made me nervous as heck. Does it kinda bother you when they follow like that, I mean , okay get close to run the plate, but back off then. He stayed on me the whole time.
They MIGHT warn you while driving if you're on your cell phone behind the wheel. If you're really unlucky they might pull you over for that and write you a ticket. The only thing they really care about is the speed limit, they don't kid around about that.

Over here tickets pay for a big part of a town's upkeep.
The cops are told to hand them out like candy for ANYTHING.
Cops can get in trouble for not giving out enough tickets per monthComment
