As I suspected, there are some who agree with the rules and those that feel there should be few if any. But as Sammy said, many of the pain in the ass laws were made because of really stupid people causing problems to others. Case in point, many years ago I had a home in Phoenix and their school zones had signs saying to slow down but no real enforcement at all. Then later after several children were run over and maimed/killed the signs got blinking yellow lights AND a patrol car with radar at nearly everyone when school opened and when it let out. It did take a while and lots of *****ing and "interfering with my rights" but people mostly got the message and now they go SLOW when the lights at the school zones are blinking! I know as there is a new school just North of the PIR raceway and they catch trucks pulling cars all the time there.
The San Diego chapter of the ACLU is raising hell about the traffic checkpoints saying they are targeting Mexicans but when the highest percentage of people without a license are here illegally I guess that makes sense? A writer into the SD Union-Tribune said they hoped the head of the SD ACLU would have a family member hit and maimed as they had by an illegal, then maybe they would change their mind?
I was hoping for more interesting traffic stops, but maybe it is just here in So Cal?
