Speed Trap Towns are Still a Thing btw.
I randomly looked it up after being reminded of hearing about some small Florida town several years back being disincorporated by the Florida State Government for basically functioning as a Speed Trap for town revenue so I was curious if it was still going on.
It apparently is, and across multiple states too!
It's a trap! Small towns across US use traffic tickets to collect big money from drivers.
Aggressive ticket-writing campaigns erode community trust, harm public safety and violate Americans' constitutional rights.

As an aside..
Before Far Cry 5 was released, I was opining how I wished my California bro character Jason Brody from Far Cry 3, if he elected to leave the Rook Islands after his mass murdering adventures, would return to America and try to adjust to a normal life in America after all he went through... and it was when I heard that Florida story about the Speed Trap town... that I was wishing that when I heard Far Cry 5 was taking place in America, that the plotline would be some dumbass corrupt small town cop pulls over Jason Brody for some bullshit charge and... ???... then hilarity ensues.
Just wreaking pro-liberty, anti-corruption havoc across an entire American county in a vibrant open world setting with at least forty hours of gameplay.

Guy kicks ex-gf out, she calls cops on him because he allegedly still has some of his stuff. Cops encourage her to kick in his door, follow her inside, catch guy coming out of shower and taze him, arrest him and charge him with 5 felonies and keep him in jail for a week. He gets a lawyer and the charges are dropped, but there are still zero consequences for the police officers involved.

This is why you just start shooting when unidentified intruders break into your home.

You joking right?
In this day and age? Nothing, because she’s a woman.
Same goes for that poor guy over in Europe a week or so ago who had a woman get pissed at him because he got her age wrong or something. She smashed a glass bottle over his head, guy almost lost an eye and the woman got away Scot-free thanks to a female judge.

I would say feminist judge. Plenty of women disagree with her ruling, and plenty of men agree with it.
It just some more anecdotal proof of the Disposable Males Hypothesis.
Probably nothing since she could argue that the police goaded her into doing it. If they tried charging her, her lawyer would probably cry "entrapment!"
And the police just would have shot him dead and there'd probably be no shortage of idiots defending them for doing so.
