19 Weeks 1 Day: Officer Babysitter

I heard on the radio today that the Portland police will be putting a bunch of resources into watching for people who don't have their children in the proper booster seat. Really? What the hell happened to cops protecting us from dangerous criminals? Now they sit on the side of the road and look for people who aren't wearing a seat belt or people who don't have their kid in a booster seat. Do we not have any real crime going on? I mean, I understand that a child can be too little for a regular seat belt and they could get injured, but really isn't that the parent's responsibility to do that? Not a tax paid babysitter. I don't need a babysitter telling me what device I should put my child in and when. I'm an adult with some common sense, I know what I'm doing. How about you go out and stop some real crime! Not just sit on the side of the road and wait for revenue building, ticketable offenses to occur.

And what kind of person decides that they want to be a police officer and then is okay with doing that kind of BS. You're all proud to serve your community, you graduate the academy and then you're handed that assignment. What a load of crap.
