> they end up ticketing poor residents for a bunch of > "violations" that they would also find if they went > to the rich neighborhoods. I'm not sure what data you have to support this. But check out violent crime rates. Larceny-thefts. Burglary/Property theft. Motor Vehicle Theft. Aggrevated assult. Robbery (mugging, stickups. etc). These very popular crimes aren't so popular in nicer neighborhoods. Rich neighborhoods have their own problems, but let's not appeal to the spirit of lawlessness (cops are bad, rules are bad, unfairly arrested, etc.)
