True! The cops are, for the most part, the “new Borg!” Here in CA we almost never see a CHP on patrol. They are at construction sites, sleeping with their lights on and engines running, and they are hiding out enforcing the newly minted toll lanes on the “freeways.” Meanwhile, we are sufferning with Mexicans with DLs now that they have them, revert to their “normal driving habits,” which include running stoplights and weaving through traffic in clapped out cars at at least 20 above the speed limit!
