And I hear it's true in some parts of the South that people go to family reunions to pick up dates. I notice enforcement is picking up here in Illinois, also. I think Mr La Hood ordered the states to raise their quotas or else. Wouldn't be surprised. And if you think cops don't have quotas, you must not know any cops.

In Arkansas we used to tell this joke: Why do Texans have front license plates? So Arkansas drivers can see them in their rear view mirror and get out of the way. We also used to say some Texans need one more S on their license plate. Charles Grozny

People >>> don't do that, either. >>> >>> Charles Grozny Correct... A friend here, ex police officer, tells me that they really dodge giving out DWI's. Paperwork takes hours to finish, and it chews up most of their shift. They dont fool with ordinary traffic offenses here under normal circumstances.. Now, if you rub it in their faces, they will have to stop you, but that is not their desire. Dope stops are high visibility, and of course there is forfeiture money in some cases. (Previously cited Morrow vs etc etc). There was some $3,000,000 in forfeiture money that is involved in this case. And this case is one of the worst examples of police misbehavior I have heard about in a long time.
