In fact the police got a bit of a talking to about that, it seems that everybody, their cousin, and their little dog Toto too knew that the cops never bothered showing up if it got disputed.I know somebody who got pulled over in Texas for driving 15 miles over the speed limit - the cop told him to speed up. There used to be a town in Texas that sold traffic tickets ahead of time, so you could hand it to the policeman, stick the receipt in your window and go speeding off again.And here in Maine I was once passed on the Interstate by a truck barrelarsing along way above the speed limit. A police car pulled out, started speeding along after him, then slowed and parked again. The truck was an open topped hopper containing fishmeal, and the temperature was around 90 degrees... I think that the cops decided that they wanted that thing off the highway as fast as possible, my gods, what a stink!The Auld Grump, you know that it's stinky when you still remember it twenty years later...</blockquote>
