About 90 of the one in six, if I read that correctly, don't even live in the San Diego county.

Must be nice to be driving a cop car, not even a chance of getting a ticket, and not have to think about how much driving costs you... because it doesn't. And your private vehicle? Less miles, less use, less insurance costs to you.
Nice "benefit" perk

ReplyDeleteActually this is done in a lot of jurisdictions around the country and is usually a more efficient use of police assets, allowing officers to deploy into remote areas faster without having to go to a central location before going on duty.
