I noticed after I moved out of FL for the 1st time up to MA how much of a police state the south is. You rarely ever saw cops in MA unless you were in a big city. Same with CT and most of the other so called commie states of New England..
I used to drive from New England to FL, the entire trip up til You got into the south you'd be hard pressed to see 5 state troopers along the way. From GA to FL you'd easily see 15 to 20.
On i10 in FL up around Tallahassee they now have cameras at every exit ramp from Tallahassee to Pensacola. They have 2 types. The cameras at the exits are pointed at your licence plate so they are obviously tracking license plates. Then every 2 miles they have actual cameras along the road side.That's the consertive nanny state in action..
The key is what I've noticed in my travels around this country, is the states with no "state tax" always have shit loads of cops. Its called taxation by citation and its how Republicans fund those states with no actual state taxes. They hire cops to produce state profits, not to serve and protect and use the judicial and prison system to extract even more money from the poor.
That was their tactic to control black people in the 60s and 70s but now they use it on everyone.
