As a lifelong resident of the south and a current resident of (Austin) Texas I can tell you. No You have to be very careful driving through the smaller towns. The cops have absolutely nothing else to do and the jursidictions make a lot of money of pulling out of towners over. Mostly for speeding butaparently narcotics busts as well too now

    I wish they'd loan a few to Italy, which could sorely use a few more traffic stops for things like tailgating at 2 meters and flashing the brights to indicate that at 150km/h, you're way too slow and get the fuck out of the way right now god dammit because I've got a bitchin Camaro. I have daydreams about one of those guys with some Texan cop... "sir, d'ya know just how fast you were goin'? Yer gonna have to come down to the station with me...".

      People in Italy drive Camaros? God, I can think of a couple dozen cars I would rather drive in Italy than an American muscle car. Hell, any Alfa Romeo will likely be classier and of a better build quality.

        No, they don't:-) A "Bitchin' Camaro" is not an actual car, it's a state of mind...

        Ah, being an American, when I hear "bitchin' Camaro" I think of a muscle car with a loud exhaust.

        When I hear "Bitchin' Camaro", I think "Dead Milkmen".

I do not have anything to say about the morality of Marijuana but I must say that carrying a illegal drug, apparently in a state with a higher chance of getting caught, is an incredibly stupid thing to do. It is okay to get caught doing such a thing if the person is making a political statement; which in this case is not true. Otherwise, I think either the person should not do it or at least be careful while doing it (for his/her own sake). You might question the morality of an law, but it is expected to still be civil (and law abiding) about it. Edit: grammar - clarification.
