Should be a regular event in our area.... it is fairly heavily policed on a daily basis anyway around here!!!!

I wish they would do that around here but they have laid off so many police and other people that they only respond to real emergencies. It seems that enforcement of any traffic laws here has taken a big drop as they just don't have the people any more to patrol the area. I am not sure how the CHP has fared but I don't see nearly as many patrol cars as I used to. And to top that off, they are tearing down the only doughnut shop that we had here. That last was just a joke for the LEOs, but they are tearing it down as the last people that took it over were shut down by the health department and now the old building is just a disaster.
