In 2007, Higginbotham received $37,500 from the US Department of Agriculture Rural Development's Community Facilities Program for the purchase of two police cars fully equipped with the latest speed detection equipment. I always knew the Department of Agriculture wasted tons of money, but never thought that is would be on speed traps.
The Federal Apparatus is out of control.

Sometimes Wikipedia is interesting:
The mayor of Waterproof, Bobby Higginbotham, an African American, has twice run against his fellow Democrat, Sheriff Rickey A. Jones, who is white. On July 24, 2007, Jones arrested Higginbotham on counts of impersonating a police officer, criminal trespass, and felony criminal damage to property. Higginbotham claimed that Jones arrested him as a way to keep Higginbotham from running for sheriff again in the October 20, 2007, jungle primary. Jones said that he incurred $7,500 in legal fees before he ever took office as sheriff because Higginbotham sued him on grounds that the election had been "rigged."[3] In the 2007 primary, Jones defeated Higgingotham, 2,188 (77.6 percent) to 631 votes (22.4 percent)[4]

The Federal Apparatus is out of control.It was completely out of control before the marxists took complete power.
In the last 30 days it has gone from out of control to criminal.

in the 1950’s the Dept of Agriculture was fully infested with communists. Not just USSR agents but full blown effete elite communists.

This is the federal government's idea of the meaning of the words "to regulate commerce among the several states".
Is it still too soon to shoot the bastards?
