More than a year ago, the city announced that police would crack down on illegally parked cars and that resources would be diverted from writing speeding tickets to ticketing illegally parked cars  But no crackdown has taken place  The police chief claims that resources have had to be diverted from writing speeding tickets to combating the city' s staggering drug problem  Yet the police are still writing as many speeding tickets as ever
Ttherefore, the excuse about resources being tied up in fighting drug-related crime simply is not true
every member of the police force is qualified to work on combating the city's drug problem
