But with cameras the police can't do that so they cop the fine. (NPI)

That ratio should be the same for both populations if they are not letting each other off.

That does go on Harry but there is also a group within traffic management units who are kept away from the other cops these days... many a bad word spoken about them because they give no favors.

Average cops though on traffic duty are another story.
