enforcement

OK, so this photo stinks … but that’s because I captured it off my dash cam. Here’s a Collier County Sheriff’s Office deputy parked in the shade on a connector road here in Naples, Fla., where the speed limit is 30 mph because it is two lanes and cuts through several gated communities that have folks walking and biking all the time. However, some drivers are compelled to speed as they try to make time during the day and the traffic enforcement is welcome. I never enjoy seeing someone get a traffic citation, but I don’t feel bad when enforcement is for the greater good and not just some “quota.” I don’t know what the Collier County Sheriff’s Office spokesfolks would say, but I believe it would be something along the lines of … “We don’t have a quota, we write as many as we want.”
