Don't' be fooled. Cops don't like to work hard either. Is it safer to chase a bank robber probably with a weapon or pull over a guy picking up a girl?
I saw a street cop on national and 20th watch a guy piss in public mid day into a Bush right on the corner in front of cars at a stop light, a family on the right, and a elderly 10 feet from him shaking her head. Guys dick was completely out and visible.
Cop looked at him, then just looked away till he was done.
Thought that was pretty awesome considering if that was a campus area the cops would arrest and ticket that shit hard.
