 | Crittenden County sheriff's Investigator Thomas Martin said of the Jericho, Ark., police department: "You can't even get them to answer a call because normally they're writing tickets." |

Readers may find this hard to believe, but Baldblog points out this case and MSNBC has reported it as well:
JERICHO, Ark. - It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and their speed traps.Are police and police departments out of control (lawless and acting with impunity)? Obviously, at least some of them are.The response from cops? They shot him. Right there in court. MSNBC
