I was driving through downstate Illinois in the late '60s and just happened to see a shadow under a billboard in time to slow down. Car was a Corvette Sting Ray & guy inside was wearing a Smokey the Bear hat and holding a radar gun.

You've got there > where the chief honcho gets $788,000 per annum. Don't ya just love that? The schools cry out for money, they have to lay off cops, and these morons pay themselves +$500,000 salaries (to be sure, I don't know if Bell has had to lay anyone off, but Calif in general is in real monetary trouble, and one city has lkaid off it's police force and is 'outsourcing' to the Sheriff's dept and the neighboring town's police dept...) If these guys are Republicans, I'm becoming a Democrat...
