It's a middle class bust.. Like Pot and Parking tickets.. 

If you are trying to juggle the mortgage payment vs the safety inspection or (as
I once discovered) the insurance payment on a 30 day rotation and you will be
successfully charged and convicted if they catch you - unless of course you are
connected or rich enough to afford some good old Maritime justice.. 

Motor vehicle infractions have the a highest charge/conviction rate because they
already have your address and your plate number before they stop you.. 

If you are stupid enough to be driving under the influence (of anything) - well
power to them - seize your car and cart you off to jail for being actually
stupid..  They would do a better job of it if they had more patrol cars on the
road looking for instead of spending money chasing the pot crowd.. 

you wanna clear up the highways? Outlaw northstar and cell phones in all cars
and trucks and enforce the crap out of it.. 

It's a damned - conveyance - not the flipping food court over to the CinePlex
for gods sake.. arrrggg.. Now there's the kind of thing the Justice System can
kick the crap out of all it wants and ask me for a million more each year for.. 

Almost clipped ANOTHER idiot sailing through the halifax rotary in his GMC Uber
Yukon Battlestar - on the frigging phone - eating a breakfast sandwich - poking
at his map system on the other side of the dash.. 

What the hell was he driving with - his dick and a belief in divine passage
through traffic for all GMC products via good karma?.. Arrrggg..

Decriminalization is a start - see how it turns out and legalize as required..
