That problem isn't in-the-field law enforcement; it's how the state manages its compliance bureaucracy.

That problem isn't in-the-field law enforcement; it's how the state manages its compliance bureaucracy. I have the same problem; I get pulled over rarely, but any time I do, I worry that I might be suspended. I drove on a suspended license so long once that they gave up and reinstated me. At least in Illinois, the big problem is that it's a nightmare to (a) find out what you owe and (b) pay it. I had to call 3 different places, waiting on hold 15+ minutes each time, to eventually find someone to whom I could give a credit card number to. I got lucky that time; the last time I had this problem, I had to drive 3 hours into Indiana to find the courthouse that managed the speeding ticket I got. I don't blame the police for any of this. I blame the state administration.
