I had a friend who became a "habitual violator" (in the U.S.) because of the number of times he was arrested for DUI. Even so, he still drove around sipping a beer. He had learned every "technique" for driving under the influence and still avoid being caught, one of which was avoiding the Dekalb County jurisdiction.
If this drunk driver could avoid arrest by avoiding Dekalb County,
it follows that aggressive law enforcement really works.
