It's not rural until your town contracts a county sheriff for a handful of hours a week and otherwise has no police force! Literally not enough funding for a flock deal around these parts lol. If all these intersections ur talking about have paved roads, lights, and bullet hole free signs we may have different definitions of rural!

Yeah that’s fair, I’m talking southeast rural. I have spent some time in Alaska, and that’s something else, that’s for sure.

I assure you our stop signs are appropriately peppered by buckshot, but you can’t go ten miles without going by a flock camera. But relatively, nothing’s that far apart down here, and you can’t go too far without crossing a state highway.

But our good ol’ boys are far more interested in harassing minorities than disrupting government surveillance.
