Out here the police are a county Sheriff and his deputies. If you don't cause trouble you never know they're around. Nobody around here causes problems.
They're some dirtbag types floating around the county but not many and the cops know who they are. The cops spend their energy keeping the few dirtbags in check.
The country road I live on has a bit of traffic in the afternoon when a couple of nearby factories change shifts. Some people were pushing it pretty fast and somebody called the Sheriff. They sent a deputy out and passed out a few tickets. People slowed down, the deputy went on about his other business.
That's the policing business out here in rural America.
