Y'all need to come to the Pacific Northwest, where people drive 60-70mph on the highway in torrential rain without headlights in a silver vehicle.
It's like a battle between "Fuck the Police" and "Fuck Cars" ideologies out here: ten minutes on the road on an average rainy Tuesday in November and I'm 'bout to tattoo a thin blue line flag on my forehead and personally petition tripling of the police budget just for even a smidge more enforcement of headlight laws.
(inb4 all the Europeans start up about their mandatory headlight regulations)
Tripling the police budget won't make them enforce traffic laws any more than they already do.
I am keenly aware of the relationships between police budgeting, enforcement, and traffic safety. Hence why I paired it with an equally useless action (getting a thin blue line tattoo) for comedic exaggeration of my frustration around a chronic issue.
Fair! Though I think we both know there are plenty of people dumb enough to think a tattoo and budget increase would change their reality around them... At least I hope... because there are plenty of simply brainless morons on this planet...
