These animals are emboldened to break every traffic law imaginable because they have guns and feel powerful. This shows the importance of police cracking down on small crimes. Criminals are obviously stupid enough to draw attention to themselves by breaking traffic laws which is another signal police can use to track these idiots down.

Thank you RBPF for having taking the time to investigate a traffic infraction which led to the end of these wild animals.
