Anybody not driving 100% correct while using a cell would be toast.

If any of you ever apply to be a cop, this question WILL be asked in your interview. They'll ask you things like, "If you pulled over a car for speeding, and it was your father driving, would you write him a ticket?"

You can tell the truth, or give them the answer they want. It's up to you to decide which answer will further your interests in getting the job.

If you answer that you'll give your father a ticket for speeding I doubt you'll get hired. They want someone who's honest and under most circumstances saying you would ticket him is certainly not an honest answer.

I went through this process for a major police department. Lloyd is dead-on. I told them stuff I thought for sure would get me disqualified. (All true) They pushed me right through the process with flying colors.

I'd enforce not using turn signals, busted brake lights and tailgating. Sounds petty, but I think lots of accidents could be prevented if people paid more attention to the basics.

My pet peeve is definitely people who drive without insurance. And I bet there are hundreds of laws you wouldn't enforce because a) they're stupid or b) all you would do is spend your time enforcing them.

I wouldn't enforce (non-excessive) speeding. If you're doing 45 in a 35 that shouldn't be a crime.

However, one thing that people do around here all the [censored] time is not stop for stop signs when turning right. They just slow down and go even if you're right there and you have to slam on your brakes. I would pull every [censored] over and give them a felony manslaughter charge. Conichiwa bitches.

I'd lead the department in tickets for driving without lights on and for failure to signal turns. At dusk, you may not need your lights to see, but others may not see you with your lights off. Turn signals, well, I can't drive as aggressively as I'd like when some schmo doesn't put his blinker on and it just generally pisses me off.

Thinking outside the box here, I woudn't be a [censored] cop!
Anyone who wouldn't enforce the law shouldn't be a cop.

And my list of stupid laws:
drug possession
sodomy
and well, there are too many others to list here
