Is the police presence in West Boca Raton acceptable?

We live near Palmetto & Powerline. I have noticed over the past couple of years, the new people moving into West Boca speed everywhere they go, don't stop at stop signs, make right turns where it says don't. I've seen people who cross roads, and do u turns to avoid waiting at lights, running of red lights, and generally don't follow the law. That's because the Sheriffs patrols this area. It is unincorporated Boca Raton. My experience growing up in NJ is they had to give out a ton of tickets to teach people not to go crazy. Am I wrong?
