Click it or Ticket!
Thanks for illustrating my point. When I learned that MADD rewards traffic cops for reaching DUI quotas (and you know, MADD doesn't just get money from distraught parents) I understood that there are probably all sorts of "alliances" that influence the way laws are conceived, interpreted, and enforced even on the street level.
Have you heard the advertisements, around high-traffic holidays, about the "nationwide law enforcement effort to ticket speeders" or similar things. Nationwide? Who organizes this? Who finances the organization? Is it even legal?
