I wouldn't have thought that either until yesterday, but about 8 or 9 years ago we had Dan Rather come down here and do a segment on "The Pot of Gold" in which we were one of the top offenders in growing Pot. After that the State Govt. told us we would lose funding if we didn't allow the Drug Task Force to come in and save the county (We actually got two Task Force teams). But the truth of the matter is that they're quite the @ssholes and they don't mind hassling you whenever they get a wild hair and if you question it when they approach you they will make your life miserable.

Sounds like the endless number of 'speed traps' in good ole MD that go under the guise of 'SAFETY' for the highways. In their case though, they not only get to look you over but they generate 'revenue' at the same time...a double whammy for justice.

I complained to my governor and got a very nice letter from the Superintendent of State Police citing how these 'revenue generating speed traps' were not only making the highways safer but helping to identify criminals and terrorists.

I haven't actually figured out how to respond (or if I will) to this insult to my intelligence.

It's everywhere..including Georgia.
