When the PD was told it would take a week or two to get their radar back I
was generally hit up for a loaner. The reason given for needing a loaner
was always revenue loss----NEVER traffic safety.

In my town, there are two cars that only work traffic, as in tickets for
speeding and parking.

As long as the PD department does not lay them off, stop paying benefits,
and stop paying for the cars, the revenue is needed.

If they did not mind, and were able to stop paying for all of those things,
the revenue of having the working radar would not be needed.

The argument of whether there should be radars being run for public safety
is a different issue.
