Years back we had an X-Rated drive-in on the edge of town. Outside City limits in the County. Every four years when their was a Sheriff's election there'd be a raid on the drive-in. You could set your watch by it. Headlines and news coverage (The photos always caught license plates on patrons cars leading to public embarrassment). Then after the election the charges were pled down and the owners knew they'd be good for another 4 years.
