So as I said, JUST as illegal, since it’s judgement calls in either situation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 child) There is a range of speeds that are legal to drive at on any given road. This range lies between the speed minimum and the speed limit. Speeds outside this range are broadly speaking a violation of traffic laws. A law that is not enforced does not stop being a law. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works 1 point 8 months ago* (1 child) Laws that aren’t enforced can be fought as unfair when enforced. Laws that aren’t held up in a court of law are no longer laws anymore. Nice little imaginary world you’re living in there. There’s laws on the books that makes it legal to shoot a thieving Native, do you seriously think you won’t be prosecuted if you do…? Just because a law exists, doesn’t mean it’s still “legal”. It has to be enforced. Like jeeze know a little law before opening your yap next time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago I don't think it's very likely that you could beat a traffic ticket based on "it's unfair." People do still get pulled over for going 5 over. People do not get pulled over for going 5 under, because going 5 under is explicitly legal. What even is this argument? You're seriously going to draw a comparison to a genocide because I said speeding isn't "just as legal" as driving within the legally proscribed range of speeds? permalink fedilink source parent
