For reference for those using freedom units that's roughly 60 mph in a 20 mph zone

Bonus. In eagle burger land that will either land you:

  • $200 fine and 2 points on your license (varies on state)

  • shot in the face (dwb and reaching for a ~~gun~~ wallet)

  • nothing (hello fellow patrolman, have a great day killing pet dogs)

People regularly do that speed in my neighborhood that has a 25mph limit. The only time I see cops around is when they're looking for the tweaker down the street so they can arrest him for whatever shit he stole this week, have him rat out other tweakers, and immediately release him to do the same thing again later.

Catch and release is vital for a healthy ecosystem. It allows for sport catching without impacting breeding programs. Done correctly, a sportsman can take progressive trophy photos throughout the quarry's life

While true, it’s always the insurance and fees that get you. This is why I don’t understand states that post their speeding fines: they’re low enough to not stop anyone, but also don’t give the true cost

Here in Massachusetts

Your first speeding ticket … lose your Excellent Driver Plus Discount and see your premiums rise and stay higher for six years!

Plus that kind of excessive speed will almost certainly also get you reckless driving

For surcharge purposes, reckless driving is treated the same as DUI [or a major at-fault accident]. This could result in a huge insurance premium increase.

Freedom units? You mean the ones used by your British masters?
