Two hundred and eighty fines
On the way, Su Zhen knew what kind of football fever would arise in the town, which was really inseparable from Su Zhen, because Su Zhen, as the owner of Tottenham, also invited Tottenham players to come to the ranch for vacation, so he invisibly brought football into the eyes of the residents of Hot Spring Town, plus, although football is not a particularly popular sport in the United States, there are always a few loyal fans, so under the promotion of these people, Now there are quite a few people in the town who have become loyal Tottenham fans, and in this context, a small town has formed its own football club.
However, although the club was established, but for now, this club is still quite simple, this simple is not about facilities or anything, you must know that the various sports facilities of the Ludao Community Stadium are built in accordance with international standards, which costs a lot of money, for this reason, the government of the town also borrowed a lot of money from Su Zhen, and when the club was established, the stadium also had a special area for the club to use for office, so it is actually very complete in terms of hardware, the reason why it is simple is that it is in the software, there are no professional playersThe coach of the football team is the assistant coach of the football team of the University of Wyoming, and the fee is not high, but it is also a lot of extra money for this coach, and this children's football training class is simpler, the so-called coaches are just volunteers of the University of Wyoming, and the so-called training is actually just to play with the children who like football, and by the way teach some common sense about English football. However, this is not a big problem for the members of the club, after all, the club was founded just for the entertainment of the townspeople, and they didn't think about playing any professional games in the past, at most playing against some non-professional clubs in other parts of Wyoming.
However, what surprised Su Zhen even more was that Xiao Tingting actually liked such a "man" activity as football.
"Tingting, do you like to play football?" Su Zhen asked Tingting in the back seat while driving.
"Yes," replied the little one, nodding his head.
"And what do you like about it?" Su Zhen continued to ask with a smile.
"Hmm," the little guy tilted his head in thought. Then he said, "Because it's fun, and Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Klose are so handsome."
After Su Zhen listened to it, there was a black line, and the back is the main reason, the lethality of the handsome football guy really has different repercussions, and even the 8-year-old girl can't escape their clutches.
"Then do you say your brother is handsome, or are they handsome?" Su Zhen continued to ask.
"Brother handsome" Tingting's unhesitating answer made Su Zhen feel open, sure enough, his brother was still very attractive, but Tingting's next sentence knocked the dark Su Zhen into the sky.
"But none of you are as handsome as Leonardo," Xiao Tingting said, the little girl is a loyal fan of Leonardo, so in front of her idol. Brother or something's decisive, it's worthless.
Su Zhen could only selectively ignore this, and slandered in his heart, well~ If you go back and discuss it with Leon, let him come out of the closet, the scourge of the province is a little girl. As big names in Hollywood, Su Zhen and Leonardo are still very familiar. I can't say it's a good friend. But it's also a good friend.
When Su Zhen drove the car into the town, he encountered an extremely embarrassing thing... He was stopped by the traffic police.
"Hey, BOSS, you're speeding" After Su Zhen rolled down the window in confusion, he heard the traffic policeman on a motorcycle say.
The policeman showed no mercy to Su Zhen because he was the owner of the town, and it was his duty to maintain traffic order. No matter who violates the rules, even if the other party is the owner here, but because he recognized Su Zhen's car, the policeman treated ordinary people like ordinary people after stopping the car. Walking over with a holster of a gun, you must know that the police in the United States are not as good at discussing as the police in China, and they are generally stopped by the police, and the driver must lower the window and put his hand on the steering wheel, otherwise he will carry you a weapon, and if you pick something in the car at this time, the police will use violent methods to enforce the law, and even shoot.
But it is exempt here in Su Zhen, because Su Zhen's car is so easy to recognize, and he doesn't even need to look at the license plate, Su Zhen's car is a genuine military Humvee, which was "retired" from a military base in Wyoming, which is unique in the entire hot spring town.
Su Zhen was a little embarrassed, this was the first time he received a ticket since he got his driver's license, and it was even more embarrassing on his own territory, but the sentence that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people may be just talking in other countries, but not in the United States, in the area of law enforcement, if the evidence is conclusive, it doesn't matter what your identity is, even if it is the president of the United States.
Of course, Su Zhen can also refuse, anyway, this is his private territory, and he can directly abolish the traffic rules in the town, but that will not do any good at all, it will not only make his image discounted in the eyes of the townspeople and children, but also make the laws of the town useless, which is not what Su Zhen wants to see.
"Good police officer, it's my fault" Su Zhen apologized to the Taoist with some embarrassment.
"I should say I'm sorry, such a good weather, I punish you, it will definitely affect your interest in playing" The traffic police smiled and handed the ticket to Su Zhen and said, "This is a ticket, if you don't violate the rules in the town within three months, then this time it's just a warning, you don't have to pay a fine, if you violate it again within three months, you have to break the bill, so BOSS, you must not violate the rules again, of course, within the pastoral area, you are free." The traffic management authority of the town's police station is limited to a few main roads leading from the town to the outside world, and the rest of the pastoral area can be said to be Su Zhen's private space, and they will not take care of it.
"Okay, Xie Luxi" Su Zhen looked at the ticket in his hand and said helplessly.
"No thanks, this is my duty, boss, you don't blame me for making you lose face," the traffic policeman teased, and then separated from Su Zhen and continued to patrol.
"Why don't you install some electronic eyes on the road? In recent years, electronic eyes have been installed in China, and law enforcement is very convenient, but the United States is logically more developed than China, but it has been using the manual way of traffic police. Liu Ru looked at the traffic police patrolling under the scorching sun and asked.
"Well, on the subject. In fact, the U.S. government has not thought about it, in fact, some people in the government have calculated that if the electronic eye is installed, each state government can get at least hundreds of millions of dollars in fines to increase fiscal revenue, but in the end the government still gave up this idea, because in the United States, fines are only an educational means rather than an end, and the traffic police directly go to the road to enforce the law, and the illegal behavior can be stopped directly, and the traffic police enforce the law on the road against illegal vehicles. It will also have a warning effect on passing vehicles to achieve the purpose of educational warning, but the electronic eye is different, he can't stop it on the spot, and can only issue a ticket afterwards. It has become a means of accumulating money, and it has lost its educational significance," Su Zhen explained after thinking about it. In fact, he didn't quite understand this strange phenomenon in the United States at first. It is believed that electronic eyes can reduce great labor costs, and the behavior of the United States is a bit wasteful of manpower.
However, when the town police station was established, Su Zhenyi proposed the matter of electronic eyes, but he was opposed by everyone present at the time. In contrast, the situation in China is... Don't talk about labor costs, but labor costs, labor costs in the United States are much higher than those in China. In fact, there are very few civil servants in local governments in the United States, usually two or three civil servants in a small town, and almost all of the rest are police.
In fact, a large part of the financial revenue of local governments in most areas is invested in the police system, because in the United States, the existence of the police is not only to maintain law and order, law enforcement, but more importantly, to help people in need, in the United States, you lose a glove, pets can't get under the tree, the sewer is blocked, the water pipe is broken, and other things that are the size of sesame mung beans You can call the police, and they can also be solved, which is something that many countries can't do.
However, it is precisely because of this that in the United States, where civil servants are generally underpaid, the income and benefits of police and firefighters are the highest and most stable in the government department.
So why does the United States still have such a high crime rate despite having such a huge police force? According to statistics, the crime rate in the United States is much higher than that of many European countries and at home, but in fact, the United States has a much higher crime rate than some national security countries with low crime rates.
The vast majority of Chinese people who have lived in the United States feel that the United States has good social security, most of the time there is a sense of security, and the vigilance is relaxed to the minimum, some people often forget to lock the car door in the United States, and when they return to the car, they find that the items in the car are not moving, and students on the university campus often forget to bring the key, and then simply do not lock the door and go out, and there has never been theft. After returning to China, there are often people around you who are robbed and stolen, what is the suspense in the middle?
First of all, the method of crime rate statistics in the United States is different from that in the country. In the United States, drinking alcohol, including beer, in public places (except bars), such as on the street, in movie theaters, is immediately arrested, handcuffed, fingerprinted, and taken to court. This is counted as a sin. The same treatment is given in fights. Once you have a record of being arrested, unless you ask a lawyer to clean it, you have to follow the system for the rest of your life, and it will be very disadvantageous to find a job and apply for a loan. Therefore, street fights in the United States are almost invisible, and in addition, serious speeding and drunk driving are also counted as crimes. In China, these are not crimes, but violations, generally in accordance with the public security administration punishment regulations for fines or administrative detention, is not included in the crime rate, and in the country, in order to reduce the crime rate, many times the policy of not filing a case is adopted, such as your home was stolen, only a few thousand dollars lost, basically the police will only come to take a look, will not file a case at all, including some fraud, the loss of less than 3,000 will not be filed, but in the United States is different, let alone a thousand, that is, you were cheated out of a dollar, which will be included in the statistics of crime rates.
In addition, nearly half of the criminal population in the United States is black, and nearly half of the adult black men in the United States have been imprisoned. They generally live in very dilapidated and concentrated poor neighborhoods. And there is a characteristic of blacks, who commit crimes at the doorstep and almost never go to white or rich areas to harass. As a result, black and white neighborhoods in large American cities are often only one street apart, but they are the difference between heaven and region. For example, in 2005, the number of killings in Boston soared by 67 percent, but more than 90 percent occurred in the three southern black neighborhoods, where black people killed black people, and the rest of the city's high-ranking neighborhoods were not affected at all. And then there's Chicago, where at night, looking out over the black neighborhood from the tall buildings of the University of Chicago, you can sometimes hear sporadic gunshots, but that doesn't make Chicagoans feel like they're going to be impossible.
And why can't the blacks turn over in the United States for more than 100 years after liberation? Because they were still being torn apart by Europeans in the process of transformation from primitive society to slave society, forcibly allowing them to enter modern society. Blacks entered the United States without developing their own culture and traditions. Historically, there were no self-established republics in Africa by blacks before World War II; There are few writings or civilizational achievements that blacks can get their hands on; There have been no major black battles in history; With the exception of the civil rights movement and sports records, blacks have not contributed anything to history.
So today, to a large extent, blacks have become a stubborn disease in American society. If black men had developed sports because of music, they would definitely marry a white woman to show their social status, like Simpson. If black women are developed, such as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the Bush administration, most of them will choose to be single because they really can't find a black man who can match them.
So although blacks have been emancipated for more than a hundred years, to this day, the percentage of black-and-white intermarriage in the United States is still very low.
Corresponding to the poor neighborhood is the safety and stability of the high-class community. In these places, the policemen were too fat to walk, and they bent down and couldn't touch their feet. Of course, in a detached residential area surrounded by green lawns and flowers, you can live without locking your door. So in a lot of American movies, it's not very strange that people enter other people's homes, as if they were in a no-man's land. There are not many poor neighborhoods in the United States, most of them are near the downtown of large cities, and high-class communities are the mainstream, especially the Chinese community, which can be said to be one of the safest places in the United States.
And in the United States, there are not no thieves, but stupid thieves sweep away. Compared with China's choppers, bikers, and head-knockers don't even deserve to lift their shoes. There are basically no pickpockets in the United States, and Americans are very stupid, so they don't have the ability to take the wallet from a big living person? It is precisely because of the safety factor of the United States that super-rich people like Warren Buffett dare to drive out alone without even a bodyguard, and the place where they live is basically unguarded.
Moreover, the alarm system in the United States is very developed, and basically in urban and rural areas, three kinds of police cars can be sent to the scene, equipped with long guns and short guns, and they can shoot when they should shoot, without ambiguity. Unlike the domestic security police, in the face of trouble, sometimes they don't even have a gun, and they have to be persuaded and educated.
Although there are more than 200 million guns scattered among the people in the United States, and there are shooting cases from time to time, they are scattered throughout the vast territory. Generally speaking, social security is still very safe among the big countries, at least I have never heard of someone with a kitchen knife who can rush into a police station and hack several policemen to death.
In contrast, some countries with less dangerous crime rates than the United States have.
However, the United States is not without drawbacks in this regard, and the biggest drawback is that these are all based on the financial support of local governments, once the local government's financial problems occur, it will affect the treatment of the police, and the treatment of the police will be affected, which will lead to the loss of police force and the negative work, and produce a vicious circle, the best example is Stockton City, one of the largest cities in the United States because of the bankruptcy of the local government in later generations.
