Biggest PITA was when a couple of Sheriffs' Deputies on motorcycles would sit in the center divider on the road from the poor neighborhood to my school in the morning traffic, just nailing folks for sticker and seatbelt violations. And those seatbelt tickets were expensive, especially so or people living where they lived.

I dunno they "saved any lives". Prob'ly more'n a few kids ended up walking to school after that and they didn't help the image of Cops any. Or maybe not too much harm; nobody confused these guys with the SAPD.

SAPD DOES sit out in front of elementary and middle schools, enforcing the twice a day 20mph speed limit. But nobody minds that.
