Sure I guess

lol. Long ago more places were like this. The Central Valley has changed a lot in the last 40 or so years. But long ago up near Sacramento area if they caught you drunk the sheriff would sit you down in the diner and buy you a cup of coffee. They’d go off to do their work but tell you before they left that they’d drive by in a few hours and wanted to see you in the window. Once you’d sobered up they’d let you drive home. They’d also get bored- so when they were on the outskirts of town and they lit up some hotrodder they WANTED them to run. They’d chase you- if they caught you they pulled you over, gave you a ticket for whatever they were going to ticket you for originally, and that was it. No other penalty. If they lost you- the next time they saw you in town they’d give you the ticket instead. In town it was understood there was no running, but out in the boonies it was just a good time.
