Biweekly pay is illegal if you do 25% or more of physical labor according to NY state law.

[@needlepark212]

Yeah but most of them just sit on their ass watching tik tok. When they do do actual police work, they arrest mostly takes less then a minute, the reports take hours to write and they are done from the safety of a desk.

[@drpoundsign]

I'm a Midwesterner (although I Did live in the NY/NJ Metro for ten years.) a LOT of you are saying that being a Cop sucks. I became a Physician. THAT can Suck, Too. It takes Forever. You have to study a bunch of BS stuff that you will Never, Ever Use. (I shouldn't be complaining-I'm Grateful that I don't need to know that crap anymore.) While Residency training is less intense than a Military Field like the Police, it lasts for at Least three years. For an Internal Medicine Doctor to really earn the Big Bucks, he needs a Good Fellowship, in Cardiology or GI, and THAT takes additional years. There are a LOT of new hassles these days. The Worse, IMHO, is the Electronic Health Record. Some of you Did major in Criminal Justice in College. But, once the Hell of The Academy is over, you are Free-at Least, on your Off hours.
