Been there, done that too. I'm way to old now, and drive stuff slower than a snail, but I know the feeling, and still remember. I don't think it's such a good idea of course, but.......

I 100% agree that this is bad. Treat us like ATM machines in the name of safety. BS!

Livonia is AWFUL! This is a nice place to live, however their police are the main reason i'd never live there. The police in this city are out to get you and look at you as if they dare to to so much as breath faster than your allowed and woop woop! Pull ur sh*t over!

My friend got a reckless driving ticket for entering I-96 faster than the posted onramp speed to merge with traffic. I dunno about anyone else, but when traffic is pushing 65, 70MPH and you enter the frwy GOING 35mph, much slower than traffic is an aggravation to traffic already on the frwy and a safety issue in itself.

I-275 and 7 mile=Livonia.. it also sucks. NO need for 5 officers to be lined up grabbing people on a 5 lane hwy because they are doing 75 in a 70.

Whats worse is these officers are not saints and break laws and will NEVER get tagged for it. Prime example is these think they are untouchable women beater/killers that tought how they can't get caught.

You Sir are an idiot, nuff said.

I'm an idiot because you can't control yourself? I don't like tickets as much as the next person, but have some common sense and self control.

But how do you feel about your tax dollars buying unnecessary Borla exhausts and cold-air intakes for government vehicles?

It's one thing to advocate responsible driving in these scenarios, but blindingly allowing the government to abuse your tax dollars for silly purposes like this this is absurd.

@adam...

it is even worse than that, it is giving them the cars. They just have the performance parts installed on them. It is much more than just buying the parts for the cars the department already has.

A cruiser or a few is a pretty big incentive for both cops (who wouldn't want a new work car, if you work in your car?) and the bean counters who then can use their budgets otherwise than buying new cruisers, AND they make the money from the increased number of tickets they write.

I got a window tint ticket the other day. The fine was 15$. The Court costs and other fees brought the total up to $70. I thought taxes already paid for government, including judicial operations?

It became abundantly clear that Law Enforcement Officers are being co-opted into being Tax Collection Officers, and that is supposed to be illegal, and is a huge impingement on freedom, and a conflict of interest for officers that work to serve the public, not their own budgetary interests.

@ MK

While I agree, the system outlined in this article for giving the various departments new cars is ridiculous, a different system could be devised to provide departments with new cars for reducing crime rates, accidents, and generally increasing public safety. Would I like to see this? No, not really. It's their job, whether or not they have a new car incentive. But at least it's better than rewarding them for abusing their power to generate revenue.

However, adding the performance parts, such as the Borla Exhaust, to these cars is absolutely asinine regardless of what reward system they are following. It's blatant abuse of taxpayer money.

But... when these cars go on auction to the public down the road, they'll be a steal...
