Squeegee This, Loser

Finally, the police are doing something to squash this business. Anyone who lived in an urban area in the US in the late 70's or early 80's will remember vagrants congregating at every traffic light extorting payment for not smearing your windscreen with a greasy rag. These guys were one of the worst features of US urban life, right up there with graffiti, aggressive panhandlers and street crime. If the cops want to pretend for PC reasons that it's for the bums' own safety (if I'm driving, it could well be), that's fine. Just do not let this nonsense get started in New Zealand.
