“Wrong.
Driving is a Right - Not a Privilege.”
I can see why the states say its a privilege. We don’t really want someone driving drunk because its their right. However they have extended this rule to every form of travel.
Driving, riding a bus, and flying are all privileges. If they revoke your privileges because you don’t toe the line then you are stuck walking. Where’s the freedom there?

It must have seemed apparent to the reporter that Massey was being 'arrested'.
