its good to be rich, white and male in america, you can just announce you break local, state and federal drug laws several times a day and not give a second thought to any consequence. If a poor person did this, they would at the very least lose their job. If they were a black rapper, they would be up on RICO charges with whatever doc gave him the stuff as party favors

Do liberals understand that by enforcing the rule of law in the face of overt, confessed-to federal crimes, they are destroying norms we don’t care about and unleashing a retaliatory abuse of the system that we were planning to do if we felt like it anyway?

This. Is. Amazing.

Montréal suburb has a school zone traffic light that only turns green when its camera detects a car driving under the speed limit.

The light is on a 90-day trial, on a 2-lane residential street. Similar signals are widespread in Europe.

Before installation, vehicles averaged 40 km/h. But in the past week, average speed has dropped to 29 km/h.
