I had this thought whilst driving into the office, but then I couldn\u2019t help but wonder if I had written about it before.\u00a0 It definitely sounded like a topic or a title that I would\u2019ve used before, and lo and behold, it turns out that my instincts were correct, and nearly thirteen years to the day, I did in fact write about how I wished that I could be a cop, for just a single day.<\/span><\/p>\n Well, that clearly hasn\u2019t changed, except the impetus for this iteration of wanting to be a cop for a day isn\u2019t so much about HOV violators and turn lane-cutters, as much as it was spurned on by the fact that I drive past multiple schools on my commute to the office now and I\u2019m amazed at how many people completely disregard school zone speed limits, as well as how often I see people whipping U-turns in clearly marked No U-turn intersections with impunity, and I would like to see such circumstances be rectified, even if I had to fantasize about doing it myself.<\/span><\/p>\n So there\u2019s not really much else to elaborate on.\u00a0 I pass multiple schools on my way to and from the office, and depending on the time in which I walk out the door, I might hit one of them, or I might hit both of them, but the only times in which I hit neither of them is when I\u2019m late.<\/span><\/p>\n As a law-abiding citizen, and a parent, I slow my ass down to the 25 mph limit, sometimes 27 when I\u2019m feeling anxious about the time, like a reckless daredevil, but it chaps my ass when in my rear view mirror, I see a car(s) in the adjacent lane closing the gap between us, sometimes overtaking me, and\/or choads who tailgate me as if I\u2019m choosing to adhere to the law to spite them, before they whip around me, in the middle of a school zone.<\/span><\/p>\n Whenever these scenarios occur, the first thing my mind is screaming is, where the fuck are the police, to pull over and ticket these cocksuckers and get some easy money out of it?\u00a0 It\u2019s evident that people speed and ignore the limit because they\u2019ve been able to get away with it for so long, and I know America hates Flock cameras and any sort of unmanned surveillance, but the two schools in my county in which I pass, has neither school zone cameras or any sort of law enforcement actively monitoring the school zones, and it\u2019s aggravating to me that so many people shit on the law and get away with it so frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n Next, right at the turn into my office, is a double lane left turn, with a clearly marked no U-turn sign at it.\u00a0 I always take the inside turn lane, because unlike 75% of the people turning into my office park, I don\u2019t need to make the immediate right that causes occasional road rage incidents, and I\u2019d rather take the scenic route and get to the same destination 20 seconds later, without having to contest and go over some gnarly speed bumps in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n However, in spite of the no U-turn sign, pretty much every single morning, at least one car whips the U-ey anyway, and naturally there\u2019s no recourse for it.\u00a0 An officer would have multiple tickets from this intersection alone, because there\u2019s a convenient parking lot at the corner of this intersection where it would be easy to sit in wait and just start issuing tickets, but again, none are ever around, and often times I almost rear-end some U-turning asshole, because they have to stamp their brakes extra hard in preparation for an illegal U, instead of just cruising into a left turn entry.<\/span><\/p>\n So once again, this is where I wish I could be a cop for a day, and seeing as how Zootopia<\/em> didn\u2019t released until three years after my first volume of this topic, I would 2,000% be just like Judy Hopps, and issue 200 tickets before noon<\/a> if I were.\u00a0 I would just take my little meter maid cart doing circuits in the loop I see in my head, where I\u2019d go bust a school zone speeder, go ticket an illegal U-turner, back to the school zone, another ticket, then back to the no U-turn intersection, another ticket, and so on and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t want to deal with any serious business police work.\u00a0 No detective work, no investigating violent crimes.\u00a0 Just actual, meter maid work, being the scum-sucking cop accused of generating revenue for the county.\u00a0 That\u2019s what I want to do, and troll the roads with the law, while creating teachable moments all across the county.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had this thought whilst driving into the office, but then I couldn\u2019t help but wonder if I had written about it before.\u00a0
