    Not to get too deep but it really is the most digestible version of how we have a legal system that ensures everybody is always breaking a law so that selective enforcement and thereby negative consequences are completely arbitrary.

    Make sure everybodys always breaking the law then you can arrest anybody at anytime for a totally valid reason.

      Seriously, I'm always telling people about this. The most adament speeders are always the "fuck the government", you can't tell me what to do, come-and-take-it types, and it just baffles me because like, yeah, they will come and take it; in fact they love to!

      You are giving the pigs a free pass to fully legally and justifiably pull you over any time they feel like it.

      Obviously they'll still pull over anyone at any time and retroactively make up a reason, but at least then they are starting on shaky ground, and you've got a way better chance of beating any charges later.

      If you hate the pigs so much, why would you make their job so easy? Especially if you're riding dirty in any way, then that just multiplies everything above a thousand times. And naturally, those that are the most cavalier about doing that always seems to be the ones that love speeding the most.

        Yra pretty sure it's where the saying "don't break multiple laws at once" comes from.

        People who ride with me give me shit for driving like a grandpa, then I ask them how many times they've gotten a ticket and if it's more than zero I'm winning in that department.

        They should have pot dealers teach defensive driving courses.
