Couple this with the fact that police - read traffic and highway patrol officers - are the line between keeping us safe from the likes of those drivers and seeing our loved ones in the morgue. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has now come into the spotlight because of corruption in the licensing process by giving out more than 25,000 drivers licenses illegally and for under the table payments. We continue to ask our police to carry out our protection when the guardians of public policy, such as DMV administration, are lax and asleep. What else can we ask them to do, smile and say, "Oh it just goes with the turf." Police have a right to return home safely after their shifts are completed. Say what you will, the taxpayers in California are getting the shaft when it comes to protection of the public, the public's reasonable expectations to drive or walk upon the streets safely. The mentalities of the Linely types are alarming enough and astounding when we realize there are people in elected offices who are incapable of understanding what tax- payers need and deserve. DCI
