I lived in the States(LA) for a while and the police were great!
On the freeways if you are travel with the traffic even at speed the police are ok with that because the traffic is moving steadily! I remember frequently traveling at speeds of 80-mph in 65-mph zones next to or passing a highway patrol! Occasionally the CHP would come out and weave across the traffic to slow people down but rarely did they pull people over and book them!
WE have definitely become a money hungry,granny country and become extremely conservative. For a Western country which preaches "Freedom" we have lost most of our freedoms, we are going backwards. Soon it will be faster to ride horses again!:soap:
