I've had it with the bullshit double standard that goes on in this
state (Calif.).	 The DMV (Dept.	of motor vehicles) sent	me a nasty
gram saying that one more ticket and I'm WALKING instead of driving
to work.  In this state	we are on a point system.  Each	ticket counts
as one point.  Drunk driving is	two points also	reckless driving.  Four
points in on year, six points in one and a half	years or eight points
in two years and your WALKING.

Well they put the all mighty fear in me	and I've slowed down and drive right.
What PISSES me off is the COPS break all the laws.  I was doing	55 mph and
a cop roared up	behind me at atleast 70	mph flashing his lights	for me to
go faster.  I said BULLSHIT I'm doing 55.  He finally got pissed and went
around me.  Who	gives him a ticket for breaking	the law.

I saw another COP roll right through a stop sign.  This	was the	same BUTT
HOLE that gave me a ticket for rolling through a stop at a quarter mph
a year earlier.	 Just the other	day I saw a cop	do an illegal U-TURN.  There
was a sign that	said "NO U TURN".  None	of these cops were in pursuit.	Just
crusin.

Why should we have this	double standard.  Their	giving tickets in this state
at a record rate.  Just	about every one	I know is getting nasty	grams from the
DMV.  I	think the police should	obey the laws they enforce.  After all

	      THEY WORK	FOR US!!!!
Some day I'm going to ask a cop that just broke the law to pull over and
write himself a	TICKET!!

It all boils down to $$$BUCKS.	They don't care if we kill each other
on the streets and freeways.  They're  making MEGABUCKS!!.  Some states
are passing mandatory seat belt	laws.  Not to keep you and me safe.  Its
one more way to	make BUCKS.	They design the	street lines so	you'll
break the law or have no choice.  An example of	this is; I drive a road
that is	full of	curves and one lane each way.  All the hair pin	curves
have DASHED lines so you can pass (and get killed) and all the straights
have double solid lines	not allowing you to pass.  If your following a
cement truck at	10 MPH you'll want to pass in the straight.  If you do
you get	a ticket.

Our state and federal governments are BIG profit corporations.	There in
business to make bucks.	 They pass laws	to make	bucks.
