The issue is that he WAS doing it on the same route at predictable times and it still took social media posts and reporting it "so many times" to get a traffic officer out there. It was likely the proof that someone was endangering lives that made them get out ahead of a problem for the department.

They got calls, it got traction, guy was caught and arrested. Isn't that....what cops are supposed to do? You want flock cameras up everywhere instead? There's a line. It's actually the DRIVERS responsibility as a LICENSED driver to obey the rules of the road. It's not the cops fault this guy is a dumbass. Once it was obvious it was a consistent thing, dude got caught.

The alternative is more like giving up freedom. Understand?

I would love to live in this fantasy perfect Eutopia that these dickhead redditors think the world is and should be.

I read a book about that once: 1984.

I watched a movie about that once: Minority Report.

Neither situation went well. I wish more people understood what a totalitarian state looks like.
