Rant on local PD

Okay I have the utmost respect for people who put their lives on the line day in and day out to protect us. Unfortunately my local police don't get my respect. On more then one occasion when the alarm at my shop has gone off I beat them to the store. Once was a false alarm and the other time was not. Just today driving the store truck out to make a delivery I get pulled over for unsecured load. Well my load was tied down the officer didn't like my rope it was not the approved rope for tying down loads. Fine I pull out a strap nope that won't work either it looked old and he told me I needed to replace them. Fine I figure walk into Kragen and get a new strap. Well thats all well and good but he still needs to write me a ticket anyway. Give me a break. So I go buy a new strap and get on my way 35 minutes later. On the way back he's got another flatbed pulled over and I can just imagine what he is writing this poor bastard up for.  It seems to me it is more about revenue generation the protecting and serving nowadays.
