Police inadequacies
Driving down Nuku'alofa's main strip (ie longest straight stretch of road) when this white car goes revving past us at a well above the speed limit rush, dodging in and out of the light evening traffic. It looked like there were two cars burning up gasoline going from Pangai Lahi/si'i to the round-a-bout at Fanga, consuming the cheap benzine we sell in town.
O4 and I are discussing the mental deficiencies of the parties at play, when what do we see passing us on the opposite side of the road?
Yes, a police cruiser casually drives past us at the speed limit.
"'Oua pe te nau toe ta'ofi mai 'enautolu ha taha lele oma." says the maiden who was once stopped and booked for speeding.
There you have it, Lawlessness in the Kingdom doesn't exist because there's a lack of policing or personnel to notice and detract criminals from their behaviour. Lawless exists because the Police have something more important to do.
The police officers were probably just cruising anyway, even if they were in a Police cruiser.
