It varies county by county here. Rural red counties are pretty much as they’ve always been within my memory. Urban fringe and urban can be a different story. I drive across all of them on a daily basis during the week, and haven’t noticed any recent ratcheting up. That started in the nineties but really kicked in after 9/11. The Emergency Broadcast System has had annoying periodic outbreaks of alerts over the past year, that’s about it.

I’ll second that one. Supper time seems like a prime time as is when Rush is on the Radio.
One other area involves traffic enforcement..our ole boy Sheriff retired and the enlightened populace decided to elect another one whose claim to fame was having worked for the highway patrol. Now we have traffic enforcement extreme as in speed enforcement and a plethora of DUI check points (which I especially believe are unconstitutional).
