Because they have open records for police activity. The same crazy stuff probably happens in your area, it's just not required to be public information.

It's pretty impressive that lack of privacy in a single state can create an entire stereotype about it.

Just goes to show how releasing information selectively (in this case, just 1 state) can influence public sentiment and stereotypes.

Imagine how much worse America would look if every state had that same law.
