Perhaps instead of conducting the amount of traffic the dept is known for we should have officers conducting community patrols in subdivisions. I am NOT impressed with the 250% increase in traffic fines when I see stories like this one. The department has yet to figure out how to balance their resources. I would rather they stop suspicious vehicles in subs than for broken tag lights on Hwy 129. I am familiar with why officers stop vehicles for probable cause and what a traffic stop can lead to, but I also know what can result from stopping vehicles in subdivisions and Id just like to see a balance.Trying to pay for court costs on the backs of taxpayers is not the answer here. It might be time to reconsider the cost of a city PD and see if the SO can cover at a more reasonable cost with decent response times.....
