Not surprised you'd think someone with at least a 5 grade level understanding of math is a mathematical wizard.

Still makes no sense. Even at 16 hour shifts daily (unbelievable) that's a ticket every 12.8 minutes.

ANOTHER MATHEMATICAL WIZARD!!!

Here's more info:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ero-or-a-jerk/

He got pulled over for going 39 mph in a 30 and comes across as an all around dumbass.

Quote:
“I literally put nobody’s life in danger, ” Sanders said in the interview. “Now, if I had crashed into someone and created a victim and damaged someone’s property, I would take responsibility for whatever my actions would be. And I think a lot of people would agree with that,” he said.

Well, as it turns out, his argument did not fly even with a jury of his peers. Jurors listened to his unusual view of the law and found him guilty of speeding. The judge levied the maximum fine.

Sanders went to some trouble to make his point anyway. He spray-painted two spackle buckets and stenciled the words “Extortion money” on them. He obtained wrapped rolls of pennies but busted them open to fill the buckets. Then he went to the court clerk in a T-shirt saying, “Authority — you have not.”
So according to this guy, laws should only be enforced if you actually threaten or hurt someone. So if I'm driving through a highly residential area going 100 mph, I should be good so long as I don't hit anyone or anything.

Something a lot of people on here seem too childish to do. Not surprising seeing how entitled people are.

If that's a euphemism for "the guy who exhibits common sense" then yes, proud to be here!

I'll be here all day to field whatever questions you may have.

It crossed my mind to ignore it but I couldn't help myself. Its funny how some people post clearly exaggerated info to make whatever point they are trying to make and then come down hard on those who call the obvious exaggeration into question. Many times they have a good point, but blowing it out of proportion takes away from the message. Oh well

I love the idea of paying in pennies, but not pouring them out for some poor employee to pick up. Great idea, but show some class.
Here in Texas (and I'm sure in many other places.....like Ferguson MO.) law enforcement is a business. I work in Southlake TX, and they are insane about their 30mph speed limits. I hate it! Law enforcement should not be a revenue generating enterprise.....

I mean it makes sense. I often just shoot a gun off in the air at all hours. As long as I don't actually kill anyone its ok. Right???

Especially yours. I like how even though I work for a publicly traded, Fortune 100 corporation, you assume I work some corrupt government job for whatever reason.

Were you ever dropped as a child? Have you sustained multiple blows to the head in your lifetime?

And it's ok to have a meth lab so long as it doesn't explode.

You do not get in the door at a Fortune 100 company without being a total con artist bullshitter as well.

Depends on which laws I feel like breaking whenever I have to go use the bathroom.
