Why? Were the dunut crumbs attracting deer and putting dents the cars

The local yokels should have a bake sale to finance Barney and his
pals; not hold up transient traffic.


Don't you believe in the localizing of control as much as possible in order that the little people will have the most say in their government as possible?

You're trying to control people who don't live in your burg but are just passing through.

Let Barney hassle the locals and let the sheriff and the state patrol deal with freeway traffic. We don't need 3 layers of enforcement, ESPECIALLY since the locals are only interested in revenue enhancement and not freeway safety.

Say: You don't want to take us back to the days of taxation without representation or do you?

Please. That is exactly what you are supporting if you want locals arresting the out of state tourists. Besides the word will get out and no passing tourist will even get off the freeway to buy gas or eat a doughnut.


Next thing you know some hick town with an empty treasury will put up
a toll booth.


Better them than the feds should do it, right?


The feds aren't doing it.


Are you sure? Well, if they aren't, the sure are planning on it. Aren't they already using unique identifiers in cars and sensors on toll lanes to detect unpaid usage and mail fines? Well, if not, they are planning on it.

Which federal agency is running toll booths? All the ones I'm familiar with are run by the states.


Ya gots to step in early to head off this bull*** where small towns look at the freeway as a revenue source.


Let's just face up to the real reason, shall we? The Bush family oil empire is tired of losing revenue to slow driving and they blame the presence of the local police for their depressed profits.


I don't think one layer of tinfoil will do the job. I saw some of Coronado's steel helmets the other day. They look pretty sturdy. Maybe you could have a metalsmith craft one for you.


Why don't I just get a Coronado one?

They no longer produce that model. You could try stealing one but what if the NPS lady has a Glock in her desk?
