First off when someone knows the person they are robbing has a job there is no chance they are robbing a unemployed person. Everyone in America knows the percentage of drivers make good money and stay away from home for long periods of time. When a driver is on the road he must have a way to support himself on the road (But criminals are stupid they haven’t caught on most everyone carries Debit Cards”. When a driver is robbed he must spend time he probably doesn’t have waiting on the cops and theirs hours of questions. Not to mention having to return to the area for court if the criminal is caught.
