All kidding aside, this brings up some convoluted legalistics. For example, suppose a driver runs the toll plaza. Is the foreign entity who owns the road (and thus toll plaza) entitled to domestic police action to chase down the scofflaw or are their remedies limited to the civil courts? Does the foreign entity pay property taxes to the locales in which the road(s) are located?

Then you are trespassing on private property and liable to be shot or eaten.

Don't worry, mate -- I guarantee you that ''implied'' police power was included in the lease, notwithstanding that no state's constitution of which I'm aware allows the state to transfer the police power.

It's gonna be hilarious when a sharp lawyer points this inconvenient little fact out for the first time in court.
