Try going on a ride along sometime and you'll see how much time it takes to fill something out. Its not like they talk into a microphone and shit records directly to a computer. No, they have to manually type it in and make sure they cover their asses. Another form of patrolling that common people think of as "sitting in parking lots"----its called Preventative Patrol. Just by seeing a black and white in the are will prevent and most likely deter someone to commit a crime in that part of town knowing that a cop is right around the corner. Dont know about you but if I see a cop at a 7-11 and I was going to steal a car across the street, I would think twice. The man/woman is doing their job, let him. Just like the man/woman scanning your groceries and renting you those DVD's at Blockbuster....its part of their job and theyre enforcing it. I got kicked out of the Supercross finals because I brought beer into the stadium when they have signs everywhere telling me not too. Sure I got mad when I was asked to leave after spending $50 for a ticket, but guess what, I was mad at me because IT WAS MY FAULT, not theirs.
