Talk:North Carolina State Highway Patrol

message: Edits to this article frequently attempt to squash any true telling of the primary purpose of the State Highway Patrol (by listing their primary activity as revenue generation, since their tickets are 80%+ of their job).  Removal of controversies section is likewise inappropriate, and their origin as a hindrance to black mobility along the highway and roads as part of Klan control of NC government.  The Highway patrol article should be considered for speedy deletion if it cannot and will not allow fair telling of what the SHP is not just the parts that give  glowing recommendation of it.  It is a traffic ticket generation machine with a law enforcement purpose that has absorbed many other duties, and most of those tickets are still written for minorities.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.74.134.199 (talk) 19:10, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Propaganda? 

message: The article seems to assert that the Civil Air Patrol is part of the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety.  No reference is provided in this article.  As a member of the C.A.P. in North Carolina, I've learned that the C.A.P. is a national, non-profit organization.  While the C.A.P. works with the S.H.P., I don't believe that they're part of the same department.  I hope to read up on this a little more and correct the article if necessary.  --KertDawg 20:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  C.A.P.? 

message: While N.C. does have a "Department of Crime Control & Public Safety, Civil Air Patrol Division", this is just a state liaison with the N.C. Wing of the Civil Air Patrol.  In fact, this division consists of two people.  (Reference: ncwg.cap.gov web site, 21 May, 2007) --KertDawg 03:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:NorthCarolinaHP.jpg

message: I just took out the Controversies section. Since it is controversial, it needs actual citations, not just a note at the bottom that gives a generic, non-specific source.Not good enough. See WP:CITE. If put back in, needs to be worded much more neutrally than it was. In fact, the whole article needs to be less POV. Am working on that. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 17:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, is that Pop culture section really necessary. Was tempted to take that out. Not cited correctly either. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 17:45, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
