I know most of them personally. When my brother was still a cop, he retired a couple years ago,he said they still had a ticket quota and certain people could not be ticketed. Small town politics. I know that they tag people all the time for appliances sitting outside, My next door neighbor is a council member and he has had an old freezer in his front yard for months. I put an old recliner out one night about 6 pm for the trash people to pick up about 6 am the next morning and got tagged.Well, with that FB confirmation, it must be true!
A couple years ago, a cop stopped the supt of schools for drunk driving, everyone around here knows he is an alcoholic. Instead of arresting him, they called a family member to come get him. The local DARE teacher was stopped for drunk driving and was not charged.
