These cops would not exist if it were not for us. They would still be only 3 of them driving 10 year old cars. They have 95% of what they have because of our tax base. I think they should be after real crimes that happen here, not handing out citations to golf carts and minor infractions. We vote them in and they can very easily be voted out, budgets cut, etc.

Agreed.
Not to mention those areas (Del Mar Dr. for just one) where the cart lane is so narrow, that to stay within the white line...requires that the right tire has to be on/near the edge of the pavement/beginning of the concrete curb.
So the choice becomes to either cross the solid white line with the left tire, or have the cart shimmy/wiggle...with the right tire on the pavement/curb line.
I can easily see where someone trying to stay within the excessively narrow lane, could hit the curb...and potentially flip the cart.
