Need tires.

So you would have written me both tickets, Powerdubs?

That is a big fail. Fact, not opinion.

It is legal in Washington. The column quoted his superior saying it is. The trooper CHOSE to ignore it.

I guess you are saying police that don’t know the laws in their jurisdiction can cite citizens for whatever they want, law or no law, and “let the courts sort it out”.

I don’t guess you are saying that. You ARE saying that!

And it is wrong on so many levels. You don’t seem capable of understanding that so I’ll guess at your occupation?

Suggesting that I should roll over for a ticket for violating an imaginary traffic law is tantamount to saying “We are the police! Do what we say even if we don’t know what we are talking about. Because we have guns.”

The trooper telling me he would find another violation since the first one wouldn’t stick is immature, childish, abuse of authority and certainly not “de-escalating”.

I doubt we could be more diametrically opposed on this. Glad we didn’t cross paths while you were working.
