Please don't project the laws and norms of Poland onto the US. The US is a very big place. And in this place, we have fifty (!) different states. That's fifty different sets of rules relating to owning and driving cars -- nearly twice as many as the EU has member nations. A Florida judge might decide that red light camera tickets are unconstitutional, while an Arizona judge might decide that they're completely OK. These two very different rulings can co-exist, without conflict, potentially forever. Each state doing their own thing independently of the others is just how we roll here. A sane and rational person might reasonably conclude that this situation is literally insane -- and they may be right! -- but it is this way anyway. (And it is this way by design.) | ||

It's a bit like the EU, in that way. I don't believe the founders intended as much federal oversight as we currently have. It was supposed to be self-governing states with a few exceptions. So much of the constitution is to limit the feds. | ||
