I’ve realized that lately, I’ve been watching a lot of them police bodycam videos on YouTube. It always makes me feel a little better about myself and some of the bad decisions I’ve made in life. I’m known to cave into bad impulses like bad spending and taking financial risks....
Fair point, but I’d be curious to see if these are still the highest once you remove all of the reps that are required to own residence in DC (that make a minimum $174K a year)

It’s not a valid defense. I tried using it once and the judge said, if they all drove off a bridge, would you too?
You will have better luck arguing the 3 mph is within the margin of error of the radar gun, that you were on a hill that was slightly accelerating, you slightly sped up to avoid and accident, etc.
I'd saw off my leg for my grocery store to start carrying something besides shitty IPA's and Budweiser (lemmy.ml)
