My question is, why do most people remain close to or below that speed. Well, I know one reason I do. I know that if I go faster, one of those fine law enforcement officers will pull me over, we will have a short nice conversation, and give me a little piece of paper. If I exceed 45 by too much, he just might take me out of my car and put the cuffs on me and rightfully so.
I won’t like it. I would much prefer to drive at 55. I would much prefer that those wonderful peace officers would just look the other way. However, I do understand that there is a point to it. I might think I can drive safely at 55. However, the authorities have decided to set the limit at 45.
Even then, if I drive at 45 when I should slow to 30, that nice policeman might still pull me over. Yeah. There always around to spoil things aren’t they.
Now, just for a moment, let’s imagine that we decided to do as the dems suggested and we defunded the police. There would no longer be anyone around to stop me. So, law or not, I would be able to drive at 55. Others might do 60. Things could get dangerous, quickly.
It is why they made the laws in the first place and it is why they gave officers the authority to enforce them. It is as I have said many times before, a law that is not enforced is useless. It is worse than no law at all.
Oddly, most people know all this, though they like to pretend they don’t.
For instance, it is illegal for illegal aliens to vote. Yet there is no mechanism to enforce this law in many democrat states. They do not need to produce any form of ID. They are encouraged to register to vote when they get a driver’s license and they are encouraged to get driver’s license, without proof of citizenship. I dare say, in many states, their law enforcement is told to look the other way. If a policeman were to arrest an alien for voting, he’d likely get his hand slapped, figuratively of course. Indeed the office might be asked, “What did you do that for?” Then he’d be told, “Don’t do that!”
And that is how illegal aliens vote. That is how they are encouraged to vote. The law by itself, will never stop the law breaker. It requires many means of law enforcement.
Strange how most of the dems try to make us ignore that part of it.
