there are 2 differences between US and china polices. 1. If you are really following the traffic/parking law in US, you won't be fined. Otherwise you can file dispute in the county court or to the internal investigation department to handle complaints to police forces. 2. The ticket/part of the tow fees go to the whole police force to reduce the state budget from tax-payers. While in china, whether you obey law or not, you bribe to gain personal interest lawful or not.
This is true for many private lawful industries, not only police. Are you sure they receive pension while full-time working (not consulting) for the same employer?
一看你就没有被抓过。。。 美国这种traffic trap多的是。。。高速通过一个城市的时候,限速在100米内从75mph 降到35mph。警察守在路口。基本是想抓就能抓的。很多小town都靠这个创收。而且罚款 也不会go to state,都是一部分给警察,一部分当地市政府就收啦。

I have been in 4 states and never caught on speed, I guess, I am careful enough. I was fined a lot for parking, and every time I learned lessons to look for no-parking signs. As to "一部分给警察,一部分当地市政府就收啦。", this is still within the budget, and saving tax-payers' money.
"美国这种traffic trap多的是。。。高速通过一个城市的时候,限速在100米内从 75mph i see ramp of 25-35mph, not on real highway. I had lived in the biggest city (new york) and I haven't seen within 100meter highway limit going down from 75 to 35mph. please give an example. 75mph 罚款

welcome to texas... 当然不可能是在大城市发生这种事啦。都是那些interstate或者state highway穿过的小 城市。亲身经历。。 FYI (随便找了一个网上的案例) Texas State Highway 100 notorious with locals as a speed trap. Especially brutal enforcement to out of state drivers. Highway speed is 65mph except through Los Fresnos where speed is reduced to 25mph with very, very little warning (small obscured sign). Between I-77 and S Padre Island on SH-100. We drive this route many times a year and have never driven thru Los Fresnos , Tx without seeing the town cops ticketing drivers passing through town!

again, if truly lawful, no ticket. there is not need for 正义感 here. If you disagree w/ ticket, there is a lawful way to dispute. If a police officer totally relies on tickets for personal interest, there is internal investigation department to get him/her.

there are warnings of reducing speed, quoting "SL in Los Fresnos is 30, not 25 It's 65 from Laguna Vista to just outside of Los Fresnos and if you'd keep your eyes open, there are warning signs saying that the speed limit is decreasing. They warn you of decreases to 55, 45 and 30. After the RR tracks it goes back up to 35 for a little while, then back up to 45, then 55 and eventually 60 all the way to Hwy. 77. There' s no excuse for getting nailed in Los Fresnos unless you're drunk, stupid or both." Please give example of withing 100meter 75mph-35mph, if so, i guess civil mechanics won't approve the construction.

maybe my example is a bit extreme, but you do see my point right? being a law-abiding citizen is one thing, but being able to challenge the "e vil" law and system does not conflict that. don't be blind sided.

this is getting too far on politics. I don't want to start a big argument here. All I want to say is that if you think you are treated UN-lawfully or the law is not right, you can complain and the authority will listen to see if you are reasonable, which is what CHINA gov. should learn. Just give you 2 real examples, 1. I parked close to a hydrant in the city and was ticketed of course. I went to the court to argue I was an out-of-state driver and in my state the distance limit is not as larger as in the city, the court dismissed the ticket of $100. 2. In the summer 2007 the USCIS (the national immigration service) played on EB2 filers by first allowing 1-month of co-submitting (concurrent) I140/ I485 w/o worrying about priority dates before the fee jump and in only 2 weeks the USCIS stopped the good policy w/ the excuse of too many submissions. A lot of Chinese were hit by the law, and we complained to USCIS, to senators, congressmen etc. Eventually the USCIS listened and allowed 1-month extension, resuming the original promising of co-filing I140/485 at lower fees.
