In 1983, I had to give a cop in the DFW area cash to keep from going to jail for 65 in a 55. Everyone was going 55, but I had CA plates.

If states took the money from traffic tickets from the towns and pooled it and then evenly distributed it, I would bet there would be a 90% drop in Traffic tickets.

More like a 95% drop.

The various governmental entities in this nation are really lucky that we are a pretty darn law-abiding bunch of folk.

I read about that in a really long book with something about “going Gault”.
