There are 3,144 counties in the US. Some of them in remote areas have a history of getting away with shakedowns. Places like Rawlins, Wyoming have probably had thousands of shakedowns since I-80 was built in 1956. Really a good idea to avoid those places at night.
It really is wild for me to think that I'd be at risk from the police like this, in any of the UK - but then again I'm a dull white guy.
I don't think the police have powers here to shake down anyone in this way (imprison maybe, but not shakedown like this).
Land of the free?
Let’s wait and see eh ? I don’t rule out anything in this country right now in the foreseeable future..
what on earth did you have in mind to pick rawlins? cheyenne, evanston, etc have made industry out of plucking out of state plates probably
