Review of South Carolina, South Carolina


Its A Police State
Star Rating - 7/16/2012
Lived here for 12 years. Most small towns in this state are addicted to alcohol, meth and traffic fines. Highway Patrol are everywhere and they WILL ticket for the smallest speed violation. Fines can only be paid in cash. My neighbour is a retired cop and he told me they split up the money in the back room at the end of the court day. The magistrate takes the biggest cut. Lousy schools with low test scores/graduation rate. Meth is everywhere and the local police are often paid off to look the other way. Don't come here unless you love b-b-que, drugs, hunidity, teenage mothers,and guns.

The entire world is addicted to alcohol and drugs, especially the "western" world. Highway patrol are normal except Swansea, SC is really really bad, but they DO NOT request nor accept cash. I paid my fine with a money order. I was charged a whopping $175 for driving 12 miles above speed limit on a 5 lane highway in the middle of a night with not a single soul around in a rush to an airport with a small child and her mom who felt kind of sick and wanted to get back home fast. That was in Swansea, SC. The town enriches themselves that way and build features such as fountains which don't even have benches to sit on. Regarding SC it seems fine in general, much more freedom than in large cities around USA. Regarding humidity Mid SC is only humid after rain for a couple days. The rest of the days are dry and very pleasant. Guns are good for you, to protect your home from pedophiles that move to SC from other areas.
