    Yup. They write more traffic tickets per capita than any other town in Colorado.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    I found out the hard way back in the 80s. Bullshit ticket for 6 mph over, on southbound Sheridan. They got their asses in a sling sometime back in the mid 90s for writing tickets on northbound Sheridan, which is actually Denver.

    A twelve block area has its own police department?

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    If you lived that close to the Camelot Apartments in Wheat Ridge, you would too.

    Posted 10:17 pm, October 27, 2014, by Rob Low, Updated at 09:18pm, October 28, 2014 FOX 31 News:

    Colorado considers seat belt violations a secondary violation, meaning drivers typically need to be pulled over for a primary offense like speeding, before police can ticket them for a seat belt violation
    Borga and her husband, Chris, were shocked to learn Mountain View, as a home-rule city, has its own ordinance treating seat belt violations as a primary violation.
    Seat belt violations are a common reason to be pulled over in Mountain View. The town only covers 12 square blocks between Denver and Wheat Ridge.
    Yet from Jan. 1, 2012, to Oct. 16, 2014, it issued 3,812 seat belt violations. That’s nearly four seat belt tickets every day.
    Denver, which has 650,000 people compared to Mountain View’s population of 500, only issued 1,840 seat belt tickets in the same time frame.
    Home-rule cities are allowed to create their own ordinances that override state law, but according to the Colorado Constitution, a city with 2,000 residents is supposed to have “the power to make, amend, add to, or replace” state law.
    In the meantime, Summer Borga said drivers need to know one thing: “People need to be aware that Colorado State law doesn’t protect them in Mountain View.”
