What is this blog thing anyway?

I'm being paid overtime today to go out and ticket speeders as part of an anti speeding campaign. This announcement will probably already have some of you boiling in anger, but wait a minute. Around the county we have a number of fixed speed cameras, and mobile speed vans and motorcycles, all of which will simply check your speed and issue you a ticket at a mere few mph over the posted limit. I can understand your anger if you get caughtm but if you weren't speeding you wouldn't get caught, so you've only yourself to blame. Okay, they are sneaky and hide behind large objects, but that's on their conscience not mine.
I on the other hand wil be dressed in a bright yellow jacket, in open view and next to a fully marked up police car. If you can't see me and take the hint and slow down then what chance has a three year old got crossing the road in front of you. Also becasue I'm not a machine I have discretion. Don't ever argue with me, as that'll only get my back up and you WILL get the ticket, but I'm not a machine and you can reason with me. Who knows you might convince me that you reckelss speeding was reasonable.
Another point I'd like to get over is that because I'm physically stopping you not just sending a ticket through the post I can also smell any alcohol on your breath, check your documents, give your car a quick once over and check the car, or anything in it isn't stolen. I've caught more than a few burglers that way I can tell you! If you are a wanted person I'll arrest you. Finally, because I'm human, I can assess your character and beleive me, I only want to give tickets to those who really deserve them, the criminals who I maybe can't prove are burgling bastards but I can proe they're speeding and give them the points. What do points make? No not prizes, disqualifications. What happens to disqualified drivers? Well if they continue to flout the law and keep driving, which they do, they get caught again and go to jail. Problem solved, burglar in jail!
So if you do happen to be stopped today by a traffic cop for speeding, smile nicely at him, and remember he's just a guy doing a job. Yes he could be out catching burglars rapists and muggers, and maybe he will with the next car he stops. So don't bother asking........"Haven't you got anything better to do?"
