"What's it like in your town?"

Our rural town, tiny tho it is, has what is called The 35th Judicial Task Force which gets huge headlines for arresting people for pot, and others for cocaine, pills, etc.
No matter if it is one joint, or a small amount of drugs, HUGE headlines result.
Meth is big around here, so that keeps the Task Force busy.
The Task Force consists of a couple of police officers and one county officer, I think, but is always hyped up to sound like a small army.

No TSA, cause no public transportation services.

Another reason I picked this place. My way of avoiding all the hassle of the ever growing police state.
