I understand what you're saying, but if the government shuts down a road partially or even fully, it's usually not because they just want to be dicks.

I agree, but it's just as much of a nasty surprise to everyone dependent upon that infrastructure and you don't really know or care what the source of the obstruction is, you just know that traffic isn't moving.

At the end of the day it's just so hard for me to give a crap about a law and order type crime when there's god knows how many career petty criminals doing their thing in the same jurisdiction that aren't having these methods applied to them.

Traffic alerts used to be a real problem. They still do broadcast it on A.M. radio. But now in my state it's posted all online. You can see just about everything closures and all down to the lane and mile marker and even cameras of your route you can see streams of.

Your indifference is your problem. Don't try to foist it on other people.
