However, I think that the politics on the fifth floor along with the lies and deceit, don't have to be a part of the program. Yes there are some disgruntlement among the troops, but the Chief and deputies need to clean up their act and lead by example,and not follow the example set by this mayor.<BR/>His methods of governing will erode and decay a police department and a society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-90425380752356294882007-08-13T01:48:00.000-06:002007-08-13T01:48:00.000-06:00Anyone gotten the new "scrubbed" numbers that the ...Anyone gotten the new "scrubbed" numbers that the city was supposed to publish as a result of the new cameras?<BR/><BR/>Isn't it interesting that the city promised to re=evaluate the numbers and seems to be stalling giving us the facts?Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645632746300874366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-81235895814666304362007-08-12T08:34:00.000-06:002007-08-12T08:34:00.000-06:00Second Hand story....I would agree, it's probably ...Second Hand story....I would agree, it's probably just a story, I don't believe that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-31747827644915829572007-08-12T07:40:00.000-06:002007-08-12T07:40:00.000-06:00I am on principle in favor of the red light camera...I am on principle in favor of the red light cameras. In a community where engaging in driving behaviors that endanger lives (death, debilitating injury, loss of employment, income, property -- life-shattering events) is treated as a "petty misdemeanor," it is pretty obvious where our values lie. Since courtesy, regard for others and common sense are insufficient to compel responsible driving, the mayor has found something that does command attention: a stiff fine.<BR/><BR/>Argue about the process all you want. And I have a good second-hand story of someone whose car stalled in an intersection, and despite testimony by his mechanic and picture after picture of red light change after red light change, the guy was still found guilty!<BR/><BR/>Fix the broken process, but don't throw this baby out with the bath water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-32969218099579163162007-08-11T21:33:00.000-06:002007-08-11T21:33:00.000-06:00a "few rotten apples" why are you even posting her...a "few rotten apples" why are you even posting here, you said usually post here, don't respond,, especially if you're from the 5th floor,,,I am not sure if any really cares, they just like the gossip, the APOA web don't get this much actionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-4033138649965865632007-08-11T16:41:00.000-06:002007-08-11T16:41:00.000-06:001.

FACT.<BR/><BR/>3. APD is an excellent department except for a few rotten apples (they are the ones who usually post here). The department is the best trained and equiped in the southwest. It is also the best managed. So stinking open they even let the bitchers and moaners who post all the BS on this blog remain on the department and in their current positions. That was not always the fact, just look back to the 1980's and 90's and ask some of those guys what happened to the few who spoke out? they were stuck in closets so far removed that when they they retired most peole didnt know who they were. Or ask some of the guys who were ordered by Sammy B. to retire or else????

However, I don't like the manner in which the city approached the public with it. Had they been truthful and not tryed to screw the public and lie about it being for the sole purpose of public safety, I think the citizens would have been more responsive.<BR/>There's nothing wrong with them provided that the city allowed for a proper due process and stop lying about everything that has to do with the system. If they can't be honorable, truthful and up front about these cameras, I say take the damn things out for good.<BR/>Then again, under the current arrogance, leave them be, as it will only take more voters away form Marty's next election, as every day passes by.<BR/>More red light cameras, less votes. So leave them in place for the next mayor to take 'em out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-31912717180142554822007-08-10T19:31:00.000-06:002007-08-10T19:31:00.000-06:00Sorry guys, but I don't mind the red light cameras...Sorry guys, but I don't mind the red light cameras. I have a 6 year old daughter and am a stay at home Mom. People in this City used to run red lights all the time and now they don't seem to do it as much. When the red light camera first went up at Menual and Wyoming, my daughter and I would see at least 5 cars run the red lights at a time. Then people started getting hit with fines and the speeding, etc. stopped. We are at that intersection M-F at 7:50 a.m. all during the school year and I believe the red light cameras work. I do think the fines are excessive, but the cameras work. <BR/><BR/>I will also say that ever do get a ticket, I won't expect due process from APD. APD is unresponsive and has been for years, it needs a complete overhaul and I don't expect to see that anytime soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-65276908578006670422007-08-10T17:26:00.000-06:002007-08-10T17:26:00.000-06:00last post, spoken like a true convict.last post, spoken like a true convict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-17273063568576766252007-08-10T11:33:00.000-06:002007-08-10T11:33:00.000-06:00There is no due process with APD, I know, I've bee...There is no due process with APD, I know, I've been there.

I have one friend who dealt with this after 20 + years of being a cop, the hearing officer agreed that the "defendant" was not the driver and asked for the actual drivers information and whereabouts... when he was given all that he STILL found the truck's owner "guilty" and advised him to file an appeal. Needless to say the non-refundable cost of filing an appeal in Dist. court was more than the $100 ticket. Myself, Im one of the ones who caught a speeding camera ticket in that area of Coors where you can see both the 40 & 45 MPH signs, I still hear that they may refund that grop of us our money but I ain't holding my breath!joe schmedlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179234621958039411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-48062054864784414502007-08-09T23:28:00.000-06:002007-08-09T23:28:00.000-06:00Marty's out.
