CSP is EVERYWHERE!

[Lex_Luthor]

On the way home tonight I saw 2 CSP standing on the 70th ave bridge above I-25 just watching the standstill traffic below. It seemed odd.

That's my neck o' the woods.... I wonder if they were considering jumping... lol

On a serious note, maybe it has something to do with this.

Nope, Have not closed this one as well.

I was actually wondering why you haven't. You've got that one out of control mod laying down some pretty heavy hate.

[jerrymrc]

I get yelled at for closing threads. Then I get yelled at for NOT closing threads even though nobody complained. Just can't win.

I just do what I think is right. The rest can Byte me.

So since we're on the subject of... well, cop bashing, I have an actual question for you LEOs.
WTF is the point of an officer on a bike? Not a motor, an actual bicycle.
I had a less than friendly encounter with them once, and I couldn't help from laughing the entire time at how funny the situation must have looked.

It depends upon the circumstances of how the officers are being used. Everyday patrol answering calls, not so great. Specific enforcement, much more effective. Ever see Las Vegas Metro on the bikes on the strip? They can get through all the traffic and people faster than a patrol vehicle.

Years ago, I did the bike thing during concerts. I was able to move through all the parking lots quickly and quietly to catch people doing wrong, breaking into vehicles, alcohol issues, etc.

OK, I have to catch up.

I remember when they first changed the limit on I-70 between Genessee Park and C-470 from 65 to 55.

Arizona Highway patrol actually recorded an INCREASE in accidents when the Feds pushed them to drop the limit to 55 on the interstates. I-10 runs through there and is a major cross country route...with drivers spending LOTS of time driving. Drop the speed to 55, takes folks longer to get to their destinations = folks drive longer hours, get fatigued and have accidents. After the limit increased again the accident dropped. Go figure.

Two of our motor folks are the biggest hunters of bad guys on day shift. They find habitual traffic offenders, stolen cars, stolen guns, etc. all day. They work in teams (backup) and call a transport van out to take the BG to jail.

Cochese, glad you called out that BS post about motorcycle officers not having the capability to make arrests. Someone else gets to transport the kicking, spitting, screaming BG so it's even easier for the motorcycle officers. As my retired LEO Dad would put it, "They only have to do the fun part."

Funny that Delfuego thinks he can't be arrested by motorcycle officer...hope that doesn't come back to bite him.

the only problem I have with More CSP on the highways is the dumb-fucks that jump on the brakes when they see a CSP even if we are already doing 70 in a 75...

^ Agreed 1000%.

Didn't you ever see Pacific Blue?

I was a bicycle officer for about 5 years. Easy to sneak up up on badguys. Easier to get around in traffic. Easier to move around apartment complexes, business districts, parking lots.

I got a lot done on a bike.

is this part of the testing they were doing to speed up traffic?
