I'm going to try this at the next checkpoint I stop at

Years ago we got a contract with an auto parts company for parts. I went to get a couple of fleet keys for our patrol cars, and I saw the invoice. The city was being charged something like $4.50 for each key mind you it's a simple Ford ignition key.

I thought it was outrageous, so I went to Walmart and bought the same key for 99cents. I submitted a P.A.Y.S. suggestion to save the city money, and I was told that we have a legal contract that we have to abide by.

Really? I wonder what city councilman got his palm greased for that one???

Someone getting their pockets lined is completely possible and probable, but you also have to look at it from a business side. Govt entities are such a pain in the ass to work for and get paid by as a business you have to charge them a premium for dealing with the bullshit.

There isn't any fixing the system. The only way to fix it is to completely destroy it and start from scratch. If you think I haven't devoted multitudes of hours trying to figure out a way to fix the idiocracy of this country you are sadly mistaken. The day I decide that I'm interested in taking action, you'll all see me on the news.

I've pretty much decided the same thing

next we will see the lord telling tales of swimming in cash in his.....

Compared to you, the guy working at McDonald's is Bill fucking Gates. I'm sorry you have a tiny dick. No wait, I'm really not, I think it is hilarious.

Let me say this. DWI checkpoints anger me. I do not drink and drive, and I sure as hell do not like being subjected to illegal searches. Do I blame the officers? Nah, they are doing when they are told to do and I am pretty sure that given the option they would not do it.

I do however as a whole dislike police departments and the way they are run. We do a substantial amount of business with them, and getting your money practically takes an act of congress. A private company will usually pay off their AR in about 30-45 days. A police department (and many other government run entities) will usually take about 6 months to pay off a single contract. It just goes to show you how poorly these institutions are run. I mean what the fuck, is their entire accounting process above the law too? If a private company pulled that kind of shit, they would be out of business in a week.

If all the officers refused to do them, the wouldn't get done. Just sayin'

"Drinking yourself to death" ain't just a river in Russia. Hell I don't think it is a river anywhere but you get the point.

Solid gold.

And LOL @ bragging about getting a gubment check. Obama gonna take care of you!

[SSMAN]

I am not a fan of check points. I really think they are bullshit. But , if I was the line of cars behind the guy that took a stand by simply being a smartass and holding up traffic. I honestly would have enjoyed watching a couple of cops beat him with a night stick.
