Uniformed thuggery in service to local tax-feeders. Unfortunately this crap goes on all over my state -- and is getting worse as budgets shrink.

72K contacts for 50K city population is some frequent flyer mileage folks...

I almost bought a place near west point lake on the GA side in 2007. Back then you could tell an immediate difference in their presence crossing over to the AL side (near Lanett)--I'll bet it's degraded a whole bunch since then.

Unfortunately, the bullies with badges will continue to erode police departments around the country driving even more good cops -- those dedicated to that old fashioned concept of "Protect and Serve" -- out. In another 5 to 10 years the overly militarized American police forces will consist of only jack-booted reincarnations of the old Nazi Gestapo

Yes, I have noticed a higher number of speed traps over the past couple of months.

I figure they're out radar (or more commonly laser these days) revenuing as their budgets feel the pinch.
