Don’t pull people over for no reason

Published 10:30 am Thursday, May 6, 2010

I am writing to you about the law that allows police officers to pull over cars for no reason. When the police do this, it is not only wasting their time, but the time of the person they pulled over. I have heard several people complain about being pulled over for no reason. Most of them were on their way to an event they weren’t supposed to be late to.

Sure the law has also helped the city of Albert Lea. It has helped the police give tickets to people who deserved them.

Although the law has helped a little, I don’t think it is worth the time to keep it. I think it is just another unnecessary law.

Editor’s note: There is no such law. You might be thinking of the new law that allows officers to pull people over for not wearing seat belts.
