Highway patrolman

A highway patrolman was a police officer whose regular duty was to patrol up and down a highway.
In 1930, a highway patrolman in Lee's Summit had apparently stopped a number of cars without proper license tags. According to a statement he made to a New York City newspaper, the most common excuse for motorists driving without tags was because they expected to be drafted and didn't want to waste money on licensing a car they wouldn't be able to use.
