Officer safety has officially jumped the shark.
You now have to roll your window down all the way for them to pass you a ticket?
For "officer safety".
BULLSHIT
I tested this one at home.
A ticket is a piece of paper, it's about 0.005" thick for the excellent paper I have and the paper that ticket is printed on is MUCH thinner.
Guess how far the window needs to be opened to pass a piece of paper?
Not very damn far.
Guess how much my hand has to get twixt the glass and the jamb to get that ticket inside the car?
None.
Dropping the window couple of inches allows communication and is more than enough to pass notes to your new BFF Officer Friendly. Even if it's attached to the adorable little clipboard.
Here's another jaw-dropper for you Officer. You work for the community and when a member of the community asks why you're demanding they do something, you have to answer. Be polite. If there's no law requiring that a citizen follow your command, guess what! The citizen doesn't have to obey no matter how that makes you feel.
Why are the citizens hostile to you? In brief it's because you don't seem to be doing anything but cracking down hard on chickenshit fines with an eye to escalating the situation to an equally chickenshit arrest when a citizen is trying to figure out what crawled up your ass today.
A citizen in a free society has every right to demand why you are commanding them to do something and be answered. Or is it your considered opinion that this isn't a free society?
