Letters to the Editor: Using Cops for Cash

Editor:

The southeast corner of Morena and Jutland has become a weekend cherry-picking spot for police who hide behind the brush and ticket drivers for not completely stopping at the stop sign. It must be a real revenue-maker because it will often be two officers doing this.

Last Saturday morning, with rain and thunder knocking out traffic signals, power outages, flooding, etc., there was a police car at this intersection and an officer wearing rain gear with ticket book in hand, lurking for business. Under the circumstances, one would believe that he would have been more useful elsewhere.

Is the city really this desperate for revenue that they require the department to waste highly trained officers on this sort of thing?
