Well, you had replied to #25, so I clicked on the links on that reply. That is why your post made me curious. Yes, I know the TX DPS weight boys stop a lot of trucks, but didn’t know they use the federal limit when you have different plates.

That's the discretion part. The officers don't have to do that. So voters give the gubment virtually unlimited powers and rely on officer discretion to equal things out. You cite tickets you received as “deserved”. That's because you already accept the premise that you should at times transfer risk, and liberty to the government in return for order and safety. I mean, that's why we do government. Right? But we have been in business for 200 years. The idea that the people run the country, and we hire government to do a few tasks is out the window. Now the government runs the country and the people are still allowed to do a few things. Conservatives think this way. The government is now a enormous union run criminal enterprise, and law and order conservatives still will pass bond issues, extensions, sales taxes to fund the criminal enterprise of government.
