The police in Korea are rarely seen. Guns are illegal in the country so violent crimes are very low. All Korean men between who turn 18 must join the army or the police. I would think there would be more police just for that. The police I have seen look like boys, I cant imagine them stopping anything. Koreans dont have as many patrol cars like in the United States. Instead, most of them ride around in these tiny cars with speed cameras attached to the roof and on motorcycle. Yes, they are Harleys. Instead of having speed traps in Korea they have cameras that send you an automatic ticket. It sounds like a great idea, leave the boring jobs to machines right? Well, Korea has terrible driving habits because of it. Most cars have a GPS in them which updates the driver to which intersections have cameras and where the speed cameras are. If there is no camera at the intersection, many times cars just go right through. On the freeway, drivers speed recklessly until they come to a speed camera, slow down, and then speed back up afterwards.
