OMGosh Sheriff Imgonnagetu... This is so wrong... Please help with this investigation... We need to inform the public of the dangers of highway work zones. You and your wife GetUmGranny should make public speeches, informing us of the safety while driving through construction zones...

No, the enforcer can't handle pressure. He sits at home with a badge made of cardboard, a plastic gun, and plastic handcuffs...
