Staged vehicle accidents enable scammers to endanger lives, drive up insurance premiums, and diminish public trust in the safety of our roads. Staging a crash is not an opportunity to make a quick cash grab; it’s a federal crime with…

I guess our Constitution and all the freedoms we have that other countries don't have, which results in us being so much wealthier than other countries — not that that's the main thing.
