Police

Somehow I feel that the police are doing way more than what they've been doing a few years ago.

It could be the economy, with the shape it's in right now, I'm not surprised more police activity has been going on in a neighborhood that's as safe as the one I'm currently put in.

But, now, they've gone so far as to give tickets for J-walking.



What about you guys?

 

The police are actually pretty calm around me(Downtown Atlanta), though it doesn't sound likely. I Jwalk constantly, and I've never gotten a ticket or anything. I believe it has nothing to do with the economy; cops are just money hungry naturally.

If I recall correctly, they just recently raised the prices of most fines(Such as speeding, DUI, etc) by 2x+?

 

Cops aren't paid on a commission, otherwise you'd be hammered for walking out your door.

I personally haven't seen a change to cops 'cracking down' locally. The farthest I can say is Sheriff Joe Arpaio (the famous racist Sheriff) doing more illegal immigration checks, with is constitutionally legal.

 

I dont see much going on everything is acutally mellow no idea why but i guess thats better than everyone being hectic.

 

I don't think cops are doing more than they did, the area i'm in has gotten a lot rougher. But ticketing for j walking is just outrageous, that's just abusing your power.

 

It's just the one cop in my town that's a dick.

 

Two people already got tickets or charges for jwalking on the school walk connecting school grounds to the other small road, maybe it's just the cops near my area.

 

I jwalk all the time, never ever get tickets. Umm I haven't really, that's just my town though.

 

Police, ahhh, they're annoying, knocking on people's doors because they bored of patrol for a chat.

 

They charge for J-Walking now and days? That's Absolutely retarded.
