Alive And Kickin

Awhile back the VB retired and sold to the highest bidders, two of our Police Cars.  The police cars had high mileage on them and the board was convinced they would nickel and dime the tax payers to death.  I am happy to report that both old cop cars have been spotted and they look in great shape.  We should have never gotten rid of them.....



It is budget time for the VB.  I wonder what frivolous "wish list"  items will be in this years budget.....

Well, maybe they should teach the people who drive the new police cars that running a red light is against the law even for police officers. We were approaching the lights from the Big M area, and the cop was sitting at the arrow to go down into town. The lights turned green from the Big M side of Route 12 and the cop who had the red arrow decided that he was going to go as well even though his light was red. Hmmmm...wonder what he was doing?

Why is it that most of the problems Alexandria Bay has, stems from the locals? Hmmm. If you do not like the police force..MOVE!!!

After living in the 1000 Island Area my whole life,I have come to the realization that crime runs ramped in A~Bay,we not only NEED a full time police officer to patrol the down town business,"to keep looters and vagrants off the streets"and outer Church Street to slow traffic down so the tourist can get to these business unharmed from speeding motorist.We the citizens must appreciate the job these men do in protecting our community.Oh,Ya.There is no business in Down Town A~Bay after Oct 1,and the constant speed traps on Church Street not only deters the locals from coming to town but want is the purpose,to constantly harassing us because we are the only ones here,Wake up A~Bay.

Dave 9:27, it wouldn't bother u if u were within the law. What else is there for the police to do, hopefully not hang at the local pd viewing porn sites like they use to!

jim cummings said...

well seasonal resident....for one thing the police could assist in directing traffic for a funeral that was held for one of the ACS students that died earlier this year.

All I have to say is that the Village PD serves a purpose during the peak time, but seriously, why bite the hand that feeds you. Locals, for the most part, behave and respect each other and each others property..for the most part. We don't need a little punk a** with a radar gun harassing everyone for going 5 mph over the limit. Every time I see the Jr cop there, he is always yacking on his cell phone if, he's not being a douche and harassing the local population.

Seasonal Resident said...

At least he uses his blue tooth and is not violating laws like the little punk a** pitts did. Also, last summer myself and two others I know got stopped for breaking cell phone and seat belt laws and we were all given warnings. Thank you "Jr cop". 12:42, u must have radar eyes to see the blue tooth or are u just fabricating yor story to make it sound better!

jim cummings said...

ya know seasonal resident, there is a reason why he is called captain blue tooth

Seasonal Resident said...

J.C. you are right, but I have always heard he is very professional and polite.

jim cummings said...

Yes he is........ and generous with the warnings. I know of one person that had a head light out and another that was talking on the a cell phone......both got warnings.

jim cummings said...

I have heard from several people that he is both!

Well when the young cop ran the red light at a very slow rate of speed, there was no apparent reason. No lights, no siren, just decided he didn't want to wait I guess. NOW, if one of us would've have done that what do you think would've happened? Just a leisurely Sunday afternoon stroll. Maybe he was chatting on his blue tooth.

The VB must have their heads up their ass spending money on a cop that isn't needed. The state police that hang out at the North Star can handle any crimes in A Bay!

Oh, well some people never learn. Only caught 2 out of 10 times or more?? not too bad?? This Law has been in effect for several years. Same as speeding laws in New York. Just in case you forgot ABay is in NYS.
So, sad.. when some people believe the Laws were not made for them?? Ask the families of the Dead victims why these laws were established.
Especially when the driver says.. I only hit him once. Wake up & smell the Roses before it is too late. Duh head !!!
