I think the size of the town may have to do with the concern of cops busting Hangouts and Racing.
I used to live in Pittsburg PA (Lived there for 15 years, in a suburb called New Kensington) Its a small town, and the cops break up the hangouts and bust anyone they catch racing. There really bad about that.
Here in Fayetteville, the cops dont really bother us at the hangouts unless some unwelcomed moron starts blasting music, or spinning tires and doing donuts.
As for racing here in Fayetteville, I've seen quite a few Law enforcement agents while in a race, and only twice did they pursue. Once I pulled over and got busted, the later time I ran and got out of sight.
Seems to me like they have other things on there mind, or have more important things to do. I imagine that things would change if a street race turned fatal, or inoccent people were hurt. Luckily here in Fayetteville that hasnt happened yet and there is no public outcry to stop racing.
I know tons of people whom are in law enforcement, and I respect them, I respect most law enforcements officers, most of the ones I know are Muscle car nuts and they even street race. One of them said he would feel like a hipacrit if he pulled someone over for racing, even though he has the law to uphold.
