For the most part, cops leave me alone. That was not the case in my younger years. It helps that I don't do illegal things as much anymore.

    I used to get tickets constantly. I wasn't a wild speeder, just always got caught.

    I drive MUCH faster now, more frequently and for longer durations. I also drive a bright green muscle car so I'm not inconspicuous at all. I haven't gotten a ticket in ages. The last time i did get one, I paid a lawyer to make it go away.

    So money and a good beard seem to put a stop to most of that. Being able to go 80-90 and not worry too much about it is nice (on clear empty roads, not like a dickbag weaving through traffic).
