The way things are now, it puts the public at risk and puts more assholes on the streets that you guys have to deal with.

I hear ya. Sad thing is.....let someone like you or I do even the slightest thing wrong and they will nail our nuts to the wall! These people get away with a lot of stuff.

I have my own definition of the criminal justice system......the system is out for the justice of the criminal and screws the victim.

Why is it...if I commit an illegal act, I get punished...when an illegal gets caught, their punishment is a reward???

It turned out being a state representative's son. He got 1 year in jail but only served 3 months and got a holiday furlough and never went back. His daddy stepped in and "took care" of the matter. The girl still has medical problems and will for the rest of her life.

That sucks.

Look at Janklow. There's another example of how this is still treated as a minor crime or a mistake. Not to mention that people just regard motorcyclists are crap.

You're right. It's always made to sound like if the motorcyclist hadn't been on the death machine then the F-350 that ran the red light wouldn't have killed the foolish punk.

Exactly.

They treat us as if this were fulfilling our death wish.

We speak American. All my Brit colleagues say our language hurts their ears.

I agree, but 7.62 is better.
