He swore he’d seen the cop from a distance and was careful as he braked.
“I saw him and we looked eye to eye,” the Chelsea business owner said. “There’s no way I was going to run that stop sign.”
When he got to court Dec. 2, he saw scores of people just like him lining up to stand before Judge Jim Wooten, complaining of penny-ante “crimes” and harassment by officers. He saw so many people trying to park in the grassy field outside the municipal building that police had to direct traffic.

I can honestly say I've never seen the cops in my small town do anything even remotely like this.
When I first moved here, I remembered how the cops were in Georgia when I lived there a couple hundred years ago, so I was always careful to not exceed the speed limit, not to roll through stop signs and just generally act like I was driving on a suspended license.
Now? Now I catch myself blowing past cops 10 miles per hour or faster than the speed limit and not even checking my rear view mirror to see if they got behind me. Half the time the cops wave at me as we pass each other.
And it's not just me. I rarely see anybody getting fucked with, even cars with out of state tags.
Of course it may have something to do with the fact that all our cops are local boys, born and raised here, and everybody knows where they fucking live.
