They should "serve and protect." Not search and destroy. Police often make exceptions for themselves and that isn't right.Their career choice may be more dangerous and require the use of lethal force occasionally. However, thorough investigations should be done in such cases. Not only in high profile public cases. Also, tickets should be used as a deterent against future driving violations and not as an income source for the department. Be present and stop hiding to catch people for minor traffic violations. An active presence does a far greater job at protecting the safety of citizens than a hidden officer hunting tickets.
