And it's going to get even worse, with Michigan's economy bringing in less tax revenues. All those limp-wristed, overweight City Hall workers are going to start telling the police how to choose their priorities.

Where is the evidence of that?

Maybe they should take a hard look at how they are taxing business OUT of Michigan...

or maybe they should also look at how they're fucking with commuters who just move out of the state and say to hell with it.

I have driven this section of freeway and its down right dangerous when a police officer is there. For two reasons its already bumper to bumper traffic and when people see a officer in the center they slow even when going under the limit.

When they see one on the side of the road they change lanes cause Michigan has a Law that states "you must move over OR slow down when law enforcement or a disabled car is on the side of the road". What sucks is people read the law " you must move over" and to keep from driving passed the officer on the side of the road they come to a stop and wait for a hole in traffic thats moving near 70mph then try gun it to get into the flow.

When cops are on site there are more crashes I have seen it several times. It is more dangerous to have them in that section of freeway period. They are not helping and they are going to get some one killed.

That being said I got a ticket in Indiana last month for 78 in a 70 and paid it with out complaint. The officer was doing his job and I was speeding. The officer was very nice and did not get all pissy. The lady at the office, when I called to find out the fine, was real nice and even asked about my town and its famous bar and grill.
