re: Louisiana law enforcement only issues 50% as many traffic tickets as they did 10 years ago

Rather dramatic measure, but considering you lived in Texas I understand. Every vehicle I encounter on I-10 with Texas plates is driving way over the speed limit and they are aggressive and rude about it. Just lawbreakers.

Not really, they were all for minor issues like going less than 10 above the speed limit, broken lights, or one where they said I didn't come to a complete stop eventhough I did. They do it because it's an economically unproductive parish (mostly their fault) and it's a money grab. Most Texas police departments usually focus on things like violent crimes (hence why their crime rates are generally lower). St Landry has lost put on a lot of economic development opportunities because of this.
