Cops Fail Traffic Test

Can we get some of that here?

Thai police have been tested on the local traffic laws, and 600 of them have failed. These officers will be prohibited from issuing parking tickets until they successfully display a knowledge of local traffic laws.

Yes!!! Now please, can we get some of that here?

I am so tired of seeing cops show complete and utter incompetence when they are behind the wheel, complete and utter ignorance when they are enforcing what they assure me are traffic "laws," and it drives me crazy (although I am proud to say I have never received a ticket...while the car was moving

).

I have seen so many cops run red lights, drive on shoulders, turn right on red in blatant violation of the sign, turn left on red in blatant violation of common sense, and countless other offenses. There could be a whole documentary about the traffic crimes that cops commit. Maybe I'll look into that when I have a little more time.

I like it, is fitting that they can't ticket people when they don't know the rules themselves.

I know a MORON who's been trying to be a cop for years. He's going through great pains to become a police officer, and I will REALLY resent the police force as a whole if they ever let him in. That will be the final straw.

He was an Army reject. (i.e. Loser Extraordinaire.)

Then he tried the Security Guard thing for a while (you know the guys at the mall?)

I'll letcha know if the police force ever lets him in. Then we can mourn together another symptom of the steady downfall of America.

Pretty much my feeling too.

Hopefully we'll never have to.

Meh. I hate cops. I almost became one though. It's just annoying how they're supposed to be the law or something, and they are the ones first to break it. That's 'cause they can. There's nobody to give them a ticket. There's another bit of power for you from out wonderful world of bureaucracy.
