I cannot IMAGINE telling ANY citizen that part of their speeding fine is going to buy me pizza and beer (not that I wouldn't be down with that). But I get the "I'm paying your salary with my tax dollars" snipe enough when I write a ticket, I think the reaction to "oh by the way, a portion of your donation is going to feeding our underpaid and underappreciated officers."

I am SURE (well, not sure, I guess anything is possible) it is for something legit. But ask. I would be interested to know.

We can't even accept anything other than a token of appreciation more than a cup of coffee as per policy. I gave a guy a ride to get gas and he insisted on giving me a Chili's gift card. No matter how much I protested...he finally dropped it in my window. I got that OK'd, but the guys made me take them out on it.
