Not too sure about that. What do addicts and thieves tend to do when they're starved for cash?

Cordially,

In California, we are learning what the govt. does when money is tight, they raise fees and prices, and start searching for new ways, new approaches to collect revenue, and on the roads, you start feeling more like prey as traffic enforcement comes to be almost a retail cash generating business.

Like the Highway Patrol announced, they are going to start ticketing eating and other activities in cars, they stated honestly enough that there aren’t laws against it, but that they think they can cover it under ‘driving while distracted’.
