You made no distinction between criminals until later when you were called on your own criminal offenses.
This is getting old. Speeding is not a criminal offense. It is spelled out very clearly in the law book.
Please read through my posts again. Driving 7 over the speed limit is not a criminal offense by any stretch of imagination.
Isn't there someone else you can go and pester? This nitpicking by law dummies such as yourself is getting old.
If you don't believe me, just contact your sheriff office or even lawyer and try to make the argument that driving 7 over is a criminal offense. Try to count how many minutes they will laugh into your face.
In many states someone who is going more than 20 or 30 miles over the limit is guilty of "reckless driving" which, in most cases, is a felony and can, arguably, be akin to assault (threat of violence).
(1) The conversation between crash and I was dealing with driving 7 over, not 20 or 30 over.
(2) It requires several very specific combination of traffic offenses for it to be labeled as reckless driving. My god, did everyone just become a damn law scholar over night?
(3) As I have been trying to explain to crashfrog all this time, which crash has refused to acknowledge (aka lie), there are varying levels of offenses and varying levels of loopholes. Crash was trying to make the point that ALL offenses are equal. Meaning going just 1 mph over the speed limit is a criminal offense. Despite me trying to convince him that going 1 over isn't a criminal offense, he's been pretending not to see my point. Please tell me you're not going to play the same silly game.
Anyway, if you're going to jump in our conversation, at least try to read what we've said so far. Since I've asked you nicely to do this, anything else you say that's not accurate I will assume to be a lie. That makes you a liar. So, please, don't try to play crash's game with me.
You say that we laypeople don't understand what you are trying to convey and you now regret revealing the intricacies of the police mind to the civvies, but we understand all too well. The law is only the law when LEO's say it is, right? And that means that those who enforce the law are above it (discounting the most egregious crimes....sometimes).
The only regret I feel is mentioning something I knew you wouldn't understand.
Please point out to me where I said the law is only the law when LEO's say so. Yes, I did say that there are certain traffic laws that are at the discretion of LEO's and these laws are spelled out very specifically. For example, technically, a cop could pull you over and give you a ticket for going over the line twice. No cop I know of will do this, and the law does specifically say that it is at the discretion of the police. Now, if a person is arrested for DUI, then among his tickets will be one for improper lane usage (going over the line twice or more).
Again, did everyone just become a liar and a law scholar? Do you feel comfortable lying like this?
