There were 255 incidents in which the people needed the assistance of the police.
However, 7,833 people were stopped for non-property damage incidents (non-crimes) under Common Law.
12:08PM = Is probably a Police Academy reject, Trooper wanna be.
Nice work MSP!
12:23 probably wipes Limelight Lewis' butt for him.
And they want to stop cruising OC in the spring I think they should stop the holiday.
Everybody happy? It's "Bash a Cop Day". Only problem is everyday is Bash A Cop Day on this blog.
No 12:08 PM, 7833 people were stopped because they think they can do whatever they want to. Meanwhile, many thousands of law abiding motorists peacefully passed by those same 7833 idiots that are incapable of doing the right thing.
We are usually in another state over major holidays. MD has turned holidays into state revenue enhancement events. We just got back today.
No fatal crashes... seems like a good weekend to me
When will they ever do the right thing and target other traffic offenses such as tailgating, weaving, blocking, impeding, etc.?
I realize cash they might generate from those offenses might be lower but it would help create safer roads. And isn't that always their justification for such operations, safety?
8:29 actually the right thing would be to obey the constitution and not stop people for bs. then take that extra time and go down into sby's ghettos and arrest the dealers of death! oh but then that would cost the state money wouldn't it?
Revenuers!
