Now that's funny. Most of 'em here are named "pig", unless they are on a bike then they get a little more respect.

Law enforcement down here is look upon as a joke by many, nothing but "fake" road work signs (no road work within miles) and lots of speed traps. This makes it tough on the few in this area that do have some integrity.
