So, the reason for the crackdown was street racing, but they didn't catch anybody doing it.

Listing the successes he forgot "we also violated four different Constitutional Rights of at least 237 people".

600 arrested ! Let me guess, resisting arrest, disorderly, ect. TAX MAN' gonna get you.

I love that this “media outlet” just quoted the police word for word without 1 tiny bit of pushback on any part of what happened

[damon]

How about targeting the meth epidemic!

[ivanpaultaurua]

Revenue raking = that’s all it is: they are treating civilians as potential ATM providers for the police department coppers

So basically Arkansas cancelled the 4th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

recreating slave catcher patrols! lots of rights being violated, with no impact on violent crime!

The Cannabis seizure is not something to be proud of, Captain.

Between the "and how many rights did you violate" and "so you figured out how to do your jobs" it is clear that people are really fed up with being nickled and dimed over small s hit when there is real crime out there.

How many seatbelt tickets, registration tickets and other victimless “crimes” did they extort people out of?

[troym]

I’m all about taking down the racers. Cops need to stop being petty over the small stuff though. They also need to learn some people skills and the U.S. Constitution.

[WizardKingCorey]

How many people who were doing nothing wrong were bothered by the police?

[bobbytheboss]

Is this one of them initiatives where they make up traffic in fractions to pull you over. Then have a canine show up. The canine officer commands the dog to alert on the front bumper out of you of the dashcam . So that they can turn the car part. And hold somebody up for an hour on the side of the road for nothing. While the rights are trampled on. So that they can find a one and 10 that has a bag of reefer in the center consul.

Policing for profit is what it amounts to. Nothing else.

[clydeallen]

Racing belongs on the track not the streets. And I'm all for getting drunk drivers off the streets. Good job ASP

[quickmessenger]

People have lost their minds. They are in a fallen state

[ninjasonmylawn]

I can't believe they've just now figured out that when they do their jobs crime goes down.

[ColinRheem]

I'm glad we live in a free country.

We wanted money so we went and got it!
