Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: Yep, hubbs got ANOTHER ticket. Every time he goes driving at night around here they pull him over. It's that he's 6 foot, three hundred pound, shaved big dude. They single him out as a threat EVERY time. This one was for doing ten miles over, like everyone else was doing. He's been pulled over at least forty times in the last eight years. Gotten so paranoid he has a gun in the car with him at all times. Between the crappy education system, the asshole cops, and the nonexistent healthcare... THIS COUNTRY BLOWS!!

We don't. EVERY OTHER CAR HERE HAS A GUN IN IT. We live in a world where movie theaters, malls, offices, and even relatives houses have a tendency to be unsafe.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

I don't like it either, but I'd also hate ta get shot and have no defense when other people start shooting. Hard to say "Wish I'd been able to fight back" WHEN YOU DEAD. He has unfortunately been so traumatized by people picking on him that he no longer feels secure without a gun. If I can't convince him to leave the gun at home, you really think YOU can?? I'd pay real money to see that.

Quote:Originally posted by Magonsdaughter: When I was on my P plates (probationer drivers display on their cars for a year) I was pulled over all the time. Now I can see why. Probationers need to be pulled up so they dont get cocky. we're all judged on our appearances. If I have a swastika tatooes on my head, I gonna get a reaction so there is no use complaining. However, and this is a big however, there is a vast ocean of difference between judging someone on how they choose to present themselves and judging someone based on skin colour or ethnicity or gender. and in all judgements, at the end of day, you should be judged on objective criteria. ie did you commit the crime? If no, then it's an issue that's worth protest, if yes, quit whining.

Seems like you side with cops an awful lot.
Quote: PS. Not that it matters, but the reason he was speeding was because we only have the one car and he was trying to get home so I could drive my grandma to her eye appointment, because she's going blind and can't drive herself. But hey, a crime is a crime, eh?

Have you thought of the mind your own business rule??? Switch to the other lane, honk your horn or whatever and drive on. You don't have the need to go flippin' anyone else off just because they are on the phone or driving slow. Unless their driving is an actual imminent threat to yours, whatzitmattah? I've seen some people get just livid at that and it's ridiculous.

Quote: You people have been so brainwashed to accept this crap you say nothing. Why do you think people are executing cops now?? People are sick of these ridiculous speeding tickets and sick of being harassed. $200-300 for going ten over IS unfairly punishing people who make less and is out of line with the "crime" and only encourages police departments to rip off people for personal gain, and not for crime deterrence. If we're white and feel WE get pulled over too much, imagine how black and Latinos that pulled over twice as much feel. I'm sure they don't feel they can say anything either, which is why they shoot people... I've always thought the amounts were ridiculous, even before I had ever gotten a speeding ticket.
