lmao besides the fact that we have someone advocating for drunk driving in here, now we have someone who literally tries to not drive and has minimal experience on the road saying you should be able to drive as fast as you want because the law is wrong.

He then goes on to say that the idea of a speeding ticket isn't' enough to cause change in their driving habits but then cites that looking out for cops while speeding is stressful. Yeah, no shit? You're literally changing your habits right there because you're afraid of getting caught. Imagine what it must be like to drive reasonable speeds and not be afraid of getting pulled over lol. Don't drive like a dipshit and you'll fare a lot better with that, yeah?

I can make arguments without ad hominem attacks.
It's really easy when I have valid arguments to make.
Don't post like that and you'll fare a lot better with that, yeah?

I drive the same speed the vast majority of drivers do. And I said I try to drive as little as possible. I still have to drive for work, travel, etc... and have driven over 100,000 miles at least.
But you're just going to make assumptions, misread anything I post, and slander me every chance you can anyway.

There's countless stupid infractions they can pull you over for, and they just need a "suspicion" you might be in violation of them.

can you name some they only need suspicion of that aren't DUI

I don't keep a list of this stuff. I found this from a search: https://www.sellcell.com/blog/top-10-reasons-police-will-pull-you-over-while-driving/

Questionable Activities

If you are driving around, there could be many things going on in your car which to an outsider may look much different. Smoking a cigarette may look like a joint of marijuana, drinking a bottled soda may look like a beer. Asking your kid to get something out of the backseat may look like your allowing your child to romp all over the vehicle without wearing a seatbelt. Point being, there are a number of things to be self-aware of, and though you will certainly feel its not fair you were pulled over, from the police officers perspective, it was a vastly different story.

This two part video series is pretty good, the primary subject is about talking to police and the importance of the 5th Amendment, but among the issues the lawyer mentions is the insane amount of crimes on the books that people unknowingly might be violating any given day.

Watch 5:18 - 7:15 (or the whole video, it's good overall):

Also relevant, in the 2nd part of the video series, an experienced police officer gives his view:

As he says himself at 1:52 in the video,

And if you drive 55 on the interstate where it's 55, the only thing you're gonna do is meet the person behind you, because they're gonna rear end you and you're gonna get run over, ok?

Which is a bit of hyperbole, but still...the point stands, and that's coming from a cop.
