LOL, Some states have a rather "interesting" police culture. You'd
think that "Dukes of Hazzard" was a documentary. Arizona is one of
those states.

A few years back, a friend of mine had a souped up 1995 Mazda RX7.
Bright yellow. Twin turbos and enough mods to make about 450 HP and
lightened up to about 2300 pounds. Yes, do the math. :)  It was FAST
and expensive. The cops also knew it.

Unfortunately, he had to make frequent trips across Louisana. Yup,
right through that one county where the police were beyond corrupt.
They would pull expensive cars over just so they could find some minor
violation and then end up confiscating it. They were pulling in
millions of dollars on selling their stolen cars.

As this friend raced his car, he had a camera mount in it for
videotaping the racing. He would mount the camera and just let it run
the entire time while travelling. The camera included the dashboard, a
rear view through a mirror and the entire windshield forward view. Oh,
and he also had a GPS tied in and provided timecode to the camera.

So, he's travelling down the interstate. Cop pulls him over. Gives him
the riot act about lane changes and erratic driving. Friend tells him
"I've got a video recorder right here that says otherwise. Would you
like to start over again?" Cop curses him out, turns around walks back
to his car and takes off.
