Ignorance of the law...

...is no excuse.

You ever hear that one? It's the famous phrase that cops and the like use when you break some obscure law that nobody knows about.

Here's the thing. Last year, there were 40,000 laws passed nationwide. If you were to read for 10 hours per day, 6 days per week, for 3 lifetimes, you'd be able to read all the laws that are currently on the books. That doesn't mean comprehend, just read. So, to be fair, nobody knows all the laws, yet when you sign that form at the DMV to get your liscence, you swear to follow all the laws. Well, guess what, you and I, and everyone else that has signed that form has lied on that form and hence, broken yet another law. ...since nobody can possibly know all the laws.

Here's another thing that pisses me off. People that think when a cop pulls you over, he isn't intent on giving you a ticket.

Really?

I've talked to lots of cops, and none of them pull people over just to say hello. If they pull you over, they WANT to give you a ticket, and I don't care what you think otherwise. That's what they do. Sometimes you get lucky and the cop may feel sorry for you, or like your boobs, and let you off with a warning, but believe me, they want to give you a ticket. If you look poor and aren't white, they'll find an excuse to search your car, too. Don't believe me? Look it up. There are hundreds, if not thousands of stories of cops arbitrarily searching cars for "probable cause" when it's a bunch of jive. If a cop wants to search my car, he can get a warrant.
