...unstoppable, irrational scheme to plant drugs or a gun in my car and arrest me for resisting arrest: all for the sadistic kick of an easy hunt. Or maybe he'll even give me a speeding ticket. Certainly I don't really believe all this paranoia, but this imaginary psychopath suggests an authority amidst the chaos of my midnight highway that is, I might even say, comforting...
