I'm no atheist scientist, but...
well i'd assume they knew exactly what the law was.
Technically, he's right about writing someone for 5+ the speed limit.
No wonder when people see local police officers ones instinct is to grab onto there wallet b/c the legal pirates are about to rob ya. Police wonder why there is mistrust and lack of respect for them, their behavior and decisions have a lot to do with the peoples perception of them.
Of course he's technically right for citing someone for 5 over. But that doesn't make the clerk magistrates around here any less indignant toward the officers who do it when the motorists contest the citation! I've honestly never seen a citation for 5 over stick around here. No officers I know would even consider it.
That's precisely why the police around here have an unwritten rule to not ticket residents of their town unless they are doing something really egregious.
Your family members might not be too happy to know that you're putting this out there by the way. That would be an awesome lawsuit for an out of town resident to hit your PD/town with.
Please stay on topic and no personal attacks. That behavior will not be tolerated.
Believe it or not, drinking under the age of 21 is legal in most states, with certain exceptions. Minors with parental consent, minors without parental consent on private property, in church communion, and so on. Here is a brief synopsis: 42 States That Allow Underage (under 21) Alcohol Consumption - Drinking Age - ProCon.org
Everyone should know the law before they accuse others of breaking the law. But we can discuss the law without personal attacks and namecalling.

Anyways thats my small rant lol.
My kids arent even close to drinking age yet but I did give my son a small sip one day. It was that little bit left on the lip of the can. He wasnt having it at all. I offer to him now just for my amusement and he says no and runs off. When they get to high school age kids do experiment whether we want them to or not. Id rather they do it in my supervision than off at some party with a bunch of stupid kids who dont really care about their well being.
As a relatively new dad, my (somewhat) irrational/protective instinct is to lower the drinking age to 16 and to raise the driving age to somewhere north of 30.
We call him names. We act as if he is some worthless person who's opinion or comment is unworthy and we run him off.
i don't think that's accurate.
every bar I went to with my parents, we ensured the legality. they always carded me and my parents, and they always gave the drink to my parents. they (and I) are under the impression that even if I'm 18-20, it's legal.
This section does not apply to a minor's consumption of an alcoholic beverage or product in

Standard for any bulletin board. He defends himself and we continue. Also par for the course. But then it gets nasty. We call him names. We act as if he is some worthless person who's opinion or comment is unworthy and we run him off.
This isn't cool. There should be a certain level of respect warranted. Now I realize he called us all irresponsible and his opinion was a little out there, but I've seen this enough times to have to wonder, WHAT THE **** IS OUR PROBLEM?
So we don't agree with the guy. That's no reason for attacking him personally.

Grumpy I actually cite for going five over. If its a residential and the posted speed limit is 25, if there is school in session it is 15. Going 5 over in that case results in a 55.00 cite. Same for construction zones, fines are doubled, so 5 over in a construction zone is usually automatically 150.00 cite. The chief and the city manager get quite upset if we let things like that go being that the state is broke.
It's really hard to do when the model representation of the word "*****enozzle" shows up and strikes up a chat. I'm not suggesting who that might be but...
My sister in laws husband is from Germany and he said the legal age for beer and wine is 16(I think) and liquor is 18. I see nothing wrong with that. Besides, introducing alcohol to younger individuals is better because they won't be curious to try it for themselves..and the likely hood of rebellion is lesser.
