Thats right! Because court is always during your shift. I forgot that.

This post makes no sense. COPP is Court Overtime Pay Program. As in, you get paid when you have to go to court on your off-time. Nobody gets paid extra to attend court during their regularly scheduled shift. OT money isn't needed because attending court doesn't increase their number of hours worked.
Ok retard, what I meant was CVE isn't willing to write traffic tickets because court might actually get scheduled after their 6a-2p, or before their 2p-10p shift (I know it's hard to believe, but court does operate all day in some places). And they cannot get COPP money or OT for that.
Or maybe CVE is such a great freaking job, they just focus on writing the UCC tickets that us regular folks aren't even allowed to have. You people here would argue with a brick wall.
"...they just focus on writing the UCC tickets that us regular folks aren't even allowed to have" At a police department would you hear "Or maybe Homicide is such a great freaking job, they just focus on investigating those murders us patrol officers aren't allowed to"? Of course not. In any regular law enforcement agency there are different bureaus with different missions. Some get specalized training and equipment and focus on certain crimes. There same idea is applicable here. I'e said it before, you wouldnt expect a city PD's homicide detectives to arrest shoplifters just as you wouldn't expect that same PD's uniformed patrol officers to investigate a murder.
That's the problem. They can only work a straight 8 or alter their shift (which I agree, they do all the time. The wouldn't even have schedules since they never follow them).
1 - Why should they be allowed to always alter their shift and do what they want?
2 - On the flip side, it's not fair that CVE have to always offset their time and we get COPP for court Outside of shift. Kind of like the fact they make us offset all of our other OT unless it's impossible to.
