I enjoyed the read but with "people" today, one never knows what is driving the car next to them. Criminals are no longer confined after being arrested for violent crimes since the "underserved" can't be expected to post bail, after all the government doesn't give them bail money, or do they? Regardless, when I see people like that coming up behind me, and it happens a lot more than it once did, I pull to the right to let them fly by and ruin someone else's day.

In CA, it seems the CHP are just absent from traffic enforcement these days. I guess because the "underserved" are so disproportionately impacted by traffic tickets because they never obey the laws. So now people are driving like complete lunatics and nothing happens to them. Of course that impacts everyone on the roads.

Apparently, what escapes police commanders and decision makers these days is the "Broken Windows" model. If you ignore the 1 broken window, the next thing you know there will be a lot more. By police ignoring all of the traffic infractions, the criminals are emboldened and escalate their criminal activity to bigger and more dangerous activities. If police enforce the infractions and do their jobs as defined by the laws on the books, society is better for everyone. In CA that is now a lost model.
