How Police and Traffic Light Companies Are Conspiring to Give You More Tickets

43. Sounds like our brave new Amercia.

Many things are done under the guise of public safety but with the end concern to be maximizing profit, as always. How can we frame an idea as a better way serve you but with our end concern only being increasing our revenue stream?
Day after day the drivers I encounter on our highways are almost suicidal maniacs. They tailgate you at 65 mph. Something I recall police stopping people for and warning for in my younger days. Same goes with headlights. When I was a kid we got pulled over once and the officer checked the calibration on the headlights saying they may have been adjusted too high and we should fix it. Now people come at me with tiny suns for headlights. I've nearly had to come to a stop sometimes.
I've had people start passing me on the shoulder the last few years. It just happened the other day by some asshole in a black Mercedes that passed me and the big rig in front of me on the right hand shoulder doing easily twice my speed in a school zone.
I watch people rage, speed, tailgate and weave like drunken boxers all in full view of police cars and with nary a notice from them. Heck, half the police cars I see look like they don't have a clue how to drive as well.
Toss in climate change concerns and watching the way people drive today makes you feel sick for the defenseless creatures of this planet. Nothing sadly funnier than a giant SUV with a "Keep Tahoe Blue" sticker on it that guns it at every light. Fat, clueless, angry and only concerned with themselves. Just the way we raise em to be.
