HUH? Bad law turns "Lawbreakers Into Good People"

Well the phrasing is bad on that quote (in the title), it basically means that lawbreakers are seen as simply being victimized by an unfair law, and popular opinion favors them instead of the law, thus causing problems with the law in general.

However, overturning this policy is not the federal government's decision. The best option would actually be for the city mayor to file an unofficial order to police not to pull over people for speeds less than 55 and use the speed limit to raise fines.

What are the speeds surrounding this area? Do people want to speed up in this area or are the signs around this area higher and they have to needlessly slow down; is this a speed trap to generate revenue? Should they expand the proposal to change the surrounding signs also?

There are a lot of factors to take into consideration.

Vote these people out of office.

Besides they got to keep it lower in areas where folks tend to go faster, look at all the tickets and revenue that can be generated, thats most likely the real reason, more money :P

say*** :P

I'm sorry did he saw, WAWbreakers?

lol

It's a freeway. It is not a residential street. One is required to have and be in a motorized vehichel capable of driving at freeway speeds in order to gain addess to it. If you let your family walk across a freeway you have some serious issues to work out.

4tiggers, unless the legal situation has changed in the last few years, that's not true. There is no national speed limit, although Congress denies highway funding to states that refuse to set their speed limit lower than they want. According to Wikipedia even that law was repealed in '95. I guess my high school civics book was out of date.

Oh thanks, Wayney, I misunderstood. I thought the road in question was in DC and this was the House in Congress.
