Depends where you live, I suppose. Down here it's well known you do NOT fuck with the police, the swamp is but a short ride up I-10 and if they feel like beating the ever loving hell out of you and dumping you where nature can finish you off they'll do it. It's hard to believe Gotham Fucking City is any less corrupt than New Orleans.
