Just about every small town around here has a Cavanaugh. One nearby town had officer "Eugene, the Ticket Machine." A small city a few counties away had a chief who was rumored to not be satisfied until every single person that ever passed through his city was in their jail at least three times.
Our town had a PT officer that I can't remember the name of right now, but he lived in a cheap apartment over a store on Main Street and only worked weekends. The dude was so ruthless that he once gave snow ordinance tickets to old ladies for parking outside of a church on Easter Sunday...on a sunny 50F degree spring morning a day before the snow ordinance ended for the winter! I actually heard two other officers talking about it in disbelief the day after.....
