"We are not above the law," Manger said. "It is imperative that the police department hold itself to the same standards that we're holding the public to."
That's precisely the statement I was saluting him for. He was disagreeing with the notion stated prior:
The police union says officers shouldn't pay because the citations are issued to the owner of a vehicle, in this case the county, and not to the driver.
A statement which I find to be complete and total bullshit. Good on the chief for seeing that too.
Ohhhhh. Okay. Sorry; I'm too used to pretty much everyone I know complaining about speed cameras, and I completely misread your comment in the original post to think it was more of that. That was a rather royal screw-up on my part. ;_;

He kind of has a point.
