upholding the law even if it means grassing the little stuff

 

1. A couple of years ago while driving north to get my daughter from college - some idiot in some little silver suv was driving very dangerously - crossing lane lines, not using a blinker at all and speeding. First - it was hard while trying to stay in my lane to get to my phone, then as the car was speeding away - it was hard to determine model and license and finally I lost sight of it - so it could have gotten off at a number of exits. I became upset that I was not able to 911 this dangerous driver (it started just past exit 32) - at exit 61 - I saw said suv pulled over and being ticketed. I am pleased that I was not the only driver who was scared to death of this idiot behind the wheel.

   I’ve thought of calling 911 for those idiots I see driving through red lights but seat belts - yeah I know it’s the law - but I do run 5 mph over the speed limit - on the highways - not sure I want someone calling the cops on me.

   However, having said that - the ‘claimed’ reason for all our highway work has been to up our speed limit to 70 mph (IN, KY & MI all have 70 on the highways) - now I see that raise is being put to a ‘poll’ as to how many people want it.

   What a crock - as the ‘poll’ for the street car in Cincy was overwhelming against - and still they are plunging ahead for a millions of dollars (Union) construction project for 3 miles to connect the worst part of the city to downtown. I can’t put into words all the idiocracy involved with each and every aspect of this taxpayer funded fraud.

   I guess my point is that some laws are more equal than other laws - so to speak.

2. The obvious difference is that the hit-and-run driver caused harm to someone else. The guy without the seatbelt is a threat to no one but himself.

   Whatever happened to MYOB?

3. Have to wonder about the tiny minds that would take the time to squeal (grass) on someone just for a seat belt tho. Must have very empty lives. I’d guess that as kids they would have been first in line informing teacher about something johnny did or mary said etc.
