That’s what the rest of the peasants always said when the fascist authorities picked up another “lawbreaker”.
I choose NOT to obey that law and if caught, I will have to pay for my actions.
Whether it is a just law or not is moot, the fact remains it is the law, as written.
For example - you seem to imply if the speed limit is 65 and you feel safe at doing 85 there should be no reprecussion if you are caught.
And, like I said earlier, the fact her mother is in NJ makes the woman’s excuse almost laughable, because NJ is as draconian as NY when it comes to carrying, especially towards out of staters.
I didn't see the dipstick who blew by me at 80 mph on a wet, snowy freeway last Friday (pegging my windshield with a nice rock star, as added injury to insult) pulled over down the road, so don't lecture me about "repercussions".
The police state enforces when it feels like enforcing, or haven't you noticed all the Mexican nationals floating around the streets?
I've noticed that many women I know deliberately ignore the creeping police state and other nasty political goings-on, because "thinking about stuff like that makes them feel bad".
They choose to think about things that make them feel good, like family - or applying for a new job in the big city.
They wouldn't believe you if you told them to their faces that grown-ups in authority are pulling the grade-school "zero tolerance" crap in real-life situations, or they'd do the "la-la-la-la-la-I'm-not-listening" if you brought it up.
