Mandatory checkpoints throughout the city where you have to stop and show your papers and let the government keep logs of everything you do of course!

no checkpoints, but there’s a medallion riveted on the trunk. And mandatory call logs. And vehicle inspections. And annual records checks on the drivers, highway and criminal.
But do you. Save $3 here and $3 there, then pay an extra $50 at their whim.
