I was driving to work this morning and I noticed a new police Ticketing machine had trapped a poor fool going to work. The ticket giving machine was a Tesla and it had absolutely no Police looking features at all other than the bright blue and red lights coming from behind the windshield and other places around the body.

Now I have to be nice to Tesla assholes or else one might be a cop. Great!

      That’s exactly my point. Almost nobody here actually drives like a California mad Max convention goer. So why focus our tax money on technology with the purpose of extracting more money and ruining our lives?

        Perhaps try reading the article? Or are you ok with people driving 63 in a 40mph zone? Seems like if your life is ruined from a justly deserved speeding ticket then maybe you need to re-evaluate your life.

    Oh I’m sure the guy who got caught totally deserved it…go 50mph for like 2 seconds on the 45mph street and suddenly you got the cop lights on you.

    WTF! Man, I just wanna go to work without worrying about my life being ruined because of asshole cops driving Teslas. Specially the shoot first, ask questions later type of cops. I already didn’t like having to drive near automatically crashing Teslas. No I really gotta watch out.

      Yeah, what’s the functional result? If we stop driving our cars (great for the environment) will the cops start showing up in our streets dressed as a granny walking around town just waiting to catch you riding your bike or walking too briskly? WTF!

      And sure Trump, let’s let him rape everyone he wants to rape. That’s good 👍. Wouldn’t wanna give him a ticket for raping too fast or anything. Such double standards.
