Ever wonder why your local constabulary enjoys those check-your-breath-and-sniff-your-crotch roadblocks so much?? People without their seatbelts on aren't likely to shoot back at them. Not to mention they just fall all over themselves to pay those fines. Take my money PLEASE!!!!!
Bubba and the rest of the Municipal Posse all standing about on the roadside handing out tickets whilst meanwhile armed robbery, drug-dealing, and the like all being conducted in-town in business-as-usual style without any worries.
Yes, yes....I know. I am a cynical SOB, aren't I? Sorry guys....calls 'em as I sees 'em.
