I think the rub here is that most of us see dozens of blatant illegal moves very day. I know I do. BUT, when you get pulled over, the first thing you think of is, "why me?" Where was the cop when the guy passed me on the right while he was in the bike lane? Where was the cop when the two ricers blew by at 90 weaving in and out? Where was the cop when the driver went thru the red (almost every light change in Long Beach, sometimes you wonder where they get the nerve to keep coming into the intersection 3 cars after the red).

So, here I am getting a ticket for something I seldom do and I've seen 2 dozen in-your-face transgressions in the last hour that you know the driver does regularly. At that point, you blame the cop. Human nature. And if cops didn't realize that's how it is, they need a career change.

Oh, and Grady, what's with that comment? That doesn't even make sense.
