By the way, I think it comes down to respect. Highway patrol officers and troopers really get to deal with some real scumbags, and risk their life running into the wrong one or some goofball behind the wheel of a car that crashes into them

The police enforce the laws they don't make them, and if there is a fine for disobeying a law, and you disobey it, then don't complain about being called on it; whether it's speeding (none of us do that?) burn outs? nnaaah, loud pipes, never. Once in a while you gotta pay your dues, if your lucky, (or you obey they law, odd choice) not too often.
My favorite item of choice here in Sunny Kalifornya (after recent legislation prohibiting all but hands free cell phone while driving) would be to have several unmarked cars driven in local traffic by sworn officers issing citations to those offenders. It would become a big cash generator and more than pay the Officers wages.
As far as the woman in Texas with $3500 in fines.....get her ass off the road regardless. It's YOUR car she might run into, but don't send her here we have enough of our own. She's obviously not a "Responsible" Driver, and please do not attempt to defend her circumstances.
