Could you respond to this earlier posting: Ok, that's fair. But I thought I read in the newspaper that the police were able to solve a murder and some robberies based on a traffic stop a week or so ago. If this is the case, then isn't important to conduct traffic stops. Also, if your worried about felonies, it seems to me if the police arrest someone who has a handgun and a bullet proof vest in a car where the driver was drunk and speeding, then I would submit this as proof the police are doing their job in the best way they know how. Here are two high profile incidents where truly bad people were arrested based on traffic stops. This seems to be evidence the police are trying to prevent more serious crimes by stopping the more minor ones. As far as the open air drug market, wouldn't the criminals hide when they see a marked police car? I know everything I read or see indicates that drug dealers always have lookouts for the police.Richard Cranium said:

tom88, would you rather have a squad car sitting in a parking lot running radar, or would you rather have a squad car sitting in the parking lot of a known drug traffic area?

Let me guess.....guilty conscience?

Tom, honestly now, stop a car at random and what are the chances that the driver is armed and has a bullet proof vest? 1 in 6 at best. What kind of odds are those?? Seriously now. Traffic stops for something as stupid as a little bit of speeding are not the way to go about catching the real criminals who are those bastard prostitutes and drug dealers.
I guess sitting in the parking lot of a known drug area. But if a MARKED car sits in a known drug area, then aren't the drug dealers going to move on? If they are doing what they were doing, pulling over cars who are breaking the law, don't they have a greater chance of catching criminals, such as the murder a couple of weeks ago, or the guy this past weekend who was drunk and speeding, and his passenger had a gun and a bullet proof vest? Doesn't the traffic stops seemed to have yeilded REAL criminals who are hurting and killing people?Richard Cranium said:

Normally I would have paid no notice but there have been other threads hinting at or accusing me of the same. I'm not stupid. Maybe its also the fact that you have not made a post in this thread, at least not recently at all, Until now? Sorry I don't have time to dig through the 30+ pages, but to my knowledge you haven't, until very soon after I have made mine. Now, I've answered your question, why don't you answer mine?

Was this reply not confrontational enough? Why are you not writing back?

tom88 you gave me 11 minutes to form a response? Unlike many forumites, I don't continuously refresh the screen to see who's writing what/where.
The point I'm making is that SMCSO would rather sit in a church parking lot 2 blocks north to run radar, rather than attacking the drug and prostitution problems in a known and highly-visible area. smcop and bad1032 do not deny this.
Speaking of bad1032, he rarely pokes his head out of his shell....or should I say....snout out of his bacon-bin. When he does, you can almost count on it being something to defend his "brothers".
The "blue wall" will be knocked down.

Ok, but what about the following? If the cops are getting the job of arresting robbers and people who are killing people by traffic stops, are we to say that they aren't doing their jobs right? I thought I read in the newspaper that the police were able to solve a murder and some robberies based on a traffic stop a week or so ago. If this is the case, then isn't important to conduct traffic stops.

If any Sheriff worth his weight (pun intended) is ever elected in this county, all of you would quit at the notion of having to go slower than 55 in front of Canopy Liquors.

Sure, they have lookouts. Any of these cops going undercover to buy? Probably not, because the dealers all know who the cops are. So the cops allow drugs to continue to pour into the county. The only way drugs are ever seized are from "deputy blah-blah-blah conducted a traffic stop and smelled an odor of burnt marijuana". Makes you wonder how many times they have to stop a car before they get lucky once or twice.

Why don't you attend the budget hearings and request the County hire more deputies and ask that the Board of Ed quit hiring positions that do nothing at high salaries? The Sheriff's Department gets less employees every year than the Board of Ed does for frivilous crap. Support your local S.D. and you'll have more deputies on the streets.Richard Cranium said:
