Found the guy with the jacked up truck, truck nuts, and aggressive bumper stickers.

First of all it is NOT victimless/useless. It is a significant safety concern. The higher the bumper is on a vehicle the more likely it is to cause major harm to the other's occupants.

Second it is not extortion to enforce safety rules. Do you believe it is extortion to enforce stop signs, one way streets, working headlights, and other safety requirements?

And finally, you do know the reason for this specific regulation and the history behind it? You do know that back in the day it was not regulated and after several horrific accidents we the people added this rule for a very good reason.

As someone coming from New Mexico and the border, I am picky about Mexican food. We went to a place in the area last summer and it was not what I was expecting. In New Mexico, we have red chile and green chile. That being said, Mexican food is very regional. It's extremely different in New Mexico versus Arizona.
