Governmental control is a hot-button issue right now, but I'm not too concerned with the New World Order and black-helicopter conspiracies. While I could rant for hours on that subject, it would be to no avail. I'm more concerned with local control increasing to the point where our sport comes into jeopardy. Such control was recently observed near Moab, Utah, where possibly well-meaning but misguided peace officers tried to enforce vehicle code violations. While attending the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab last April, one of our fellow wheelers was pulled over four times in two days. To be sure, his rig is on the close side of legal, and he never received tickets for that, but anyone with a clue wouldn't think twice about it or the hundreds of other rigs in the area. There is a difference between enforcement and harassment, and both can cause any 4x4 area to be less frequented by wheelers.
