Tint ticket is very easy moneys now. :)
Here in one of the city of Georgia, that tint ticket cost almost $400 dollars for first time.

I 100% agree with you that tickets (tint and other) are great revenue streams and in this day of starving beasts, I ain't mad at them. IMHO it sort of undermines protect and serve, but if they didn't they'd not have cars or guns or jobs. I would never think of the police as my enemy.

I have friends that are cops and they're good people. I've met many more nice cops than bad ones, but I also don't ascribe to the never speak any bad about any cop because they're not all that way. I don't think it's honest. I work with some real jerks, but they don't have that level of power over me so I pay them no mind. Most of the time I pay police no mind because I'm pretty well behaved.

Personally, I think they're wildly underpaid for what they do and they question of safety vs money shouldn't EVER be asked. I think they're systemic problems and not personal problems though (well lol, it depends I guess).

Yes.. but in addition to that, cops are also sworn to uphold the law.
I had a family member and a close friend who were both good, honest cops.

However, I have to adimt that i have been hasseled many times in past by cops who simply like to hassle drvers. BTW I'm not a kid, I'm actually retired and I can see how some cops can overstep their bounds and hand out tickets for things that are not even against the law... hoping that people wil not be aware of that and pay it.

For example......I even got a ticket for having illegal aftemarket headlight asemblies on my Celica a couple of years ago that were complely stock headlights. The cop even told me that "everyone who drives a Celica has illegal parts on them"! Of couse, I had it dismissed .
