Freedom is chains; chains on the state.

@theguardrailguy @timburchett That's fair. Wasn't trying to straw man.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@xwanyex You're presupposing the speed limit is based on a rational, systematic balancing of these concerns against driver preferences, but many of them are arbitrary. All these arguments skip over the critical question of why is this the right speed limit in the first place.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@pjaicomo What's that old saying about rights without remedies?

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@segalmr Would actually pack some punch if it abrogated Duarte too. They should also just add subsections to 11I or anything else instead of this hideous mess.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@xwanyex Does this "argument" rank above or below "but my aunt is taller than my uncle"?

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@RandomSprint @MorlockP I'm sure prosecutors will be champing at the bit to criminally charge their own police witnesses for gathering useful evidence. Very effective real world remedy/deterrent.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@xwanyex The deeper issue is that the people who decide the threshold between lawful driving and speeding often abuse their power by choosing unreasonably low speed limits. If most people on a road are "speeding" you're going to have opposition to enforcement.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@xwanyex Maybe they are still wary because they haven't forgotten the absurdity of the 55-mph national maximum speed limit.

@pjaicomo @TakeThatNurses Future court: You allege he was in there for 21 hours between 25 and 59 degrees? And he had a pair of boxers? I've got bad news for you...

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@VoxPrudentia @CecereCarl Speaking from experience, anyone who wants a win in the state appellate courts should be paying attention!

@travis4nh That's a lot of words for freedom is slavery.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@captgouda24 Bad people have nothing to offer but blind loyalty to party leaders and no other prospects, which makes them perfect candidates.

@PaulMSherman @OrinKerr In my experience it doesn't work well with most PDFs because they aren't easy to read. It's better to use a text based file type if possible or have it explicitly convert it to an MD first before working with it.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@travis4nh Also if he had given ID they could keep detaining him while they check for warrants, which would be a more airtight basis for arrest.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@travis4nh Cops probably already had PC to arrest and the ID colloquy was to further investigation before making the arrest. Start with a small ask, if he agrees to give ID that sets the authority dynamic and primes suspect for continuing cooperation and pre-custodial self-incrimination.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@bubbling_creek @captgouda24 Urbanist bureaucrats can do all the analysis and value judgment they want, but a speed limit that designates large swathes of motorists as "speeders" is illegitimate and failed public policy.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@ScottGreenfield There is of course a natural incentive for the government to route as much revenue collection and police power as possible through the due process shelter it creates for itself with these camera programs. This is why the door should never be opened.

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@travis4nh Does this mean you're not invited to karaoke anymore?

[ChainsOnState @ChainsOnState]

@MorlockP Love the leading "negative" of undermining arbitrary institutional gatekeeping of knowledge.
