Guys . One thought just came to my mind. How would that look like when the CHP (California Highway Patrol) would be a private enterprise? How do you approach (and respect) these 'officers' then when they build one speed trap after the other to make money . Just picture this....it does not make much sense, does it ? Hoping that a private enterprise will fix the monetary problems, the current government induced so easily will turn out in a nightmare if not defeated in time.
