Has not change since the 60s when I was trucking through Georgia, a lot of the small towns made a living on bs ticket's like that, for example a car would pull out in front of you, so following to close, automatic $15.00 to the local hardware store who was also the town Judge, cops were in cahoots with them, Just pay and carry on because you couldn't afford to have the truck shut down and they knew it.

My dad was a Marine, stationed in Georgia, in the early sixties. He loved to tell a redneck cop story, about small town Georgia. It's well past midnight, and he is sitting up front, in a large military truck, waiting at a stop light in a little town. There isn't a living thing moving, as the light remains red, for five minutes, or so. The driver tells my dad to get out, and push the cross walk button. As my dad reaches for the button, he hears a shotgun being racked, behind a bush, and a voice with a slow southern draw says, "Boy. You best get yer A#@ back in that truck and WAIT your turn to proceed". He and the driver spent the next fifteen minutes, sitting at attention, staring straight ahead, until Bubba flipped the light to green.
