This might be the least surprising or controversial thing reported all year.

This guy is everywhere!

This seems like an incredible waste of public resources. Egads.

No, it was quite apparent. Seems some people are too entitled to actually read the article through...

In Florida they upped the fines and penalties for a lot of the motorcycle related offenses(such as popping a wheelie or certain other things that they could construe speeding as) and also had a law passed that police were not supposed to initiate chase with motorcycles(due to two young men dying while running). This…

But that doesn't excuse what I did. I came into Virginia and broke their laws; I drove way too fast. This is my fault and no one else's. (Well, maybe the ZL1's.) This wasn't one of those moments where I got nailed going 5 mph over in some ridiculously low section of a county designed only for revenue collection.

Everyone you make a meme about I hired so...

No, but you can jam the shit out of them.

As a long-term Virginia resident, reading this bothers the crap out of me. It's not like I wasn't aware of the laws and associated penalties (although back in the day, it was customary for judges to sentence people to a day for every MPH over 100, not 90). However, I've reached the point of trying to affect change.

That is not in any way a fair comparison.

Thanks for the story and the warning. I have another one for the group.

Exactly. Sexual battery should be a felony.

Reading is hard, isn't it?

Other Class One misdemeanors in Virginia include animal cruelty, sexual battery, and aiming a firearm at someone. This is how the state regards people who drive over 80 mph.

I wrote this. I went to jail. Do not speed in Virginia.

This just in from Pál Négyesi, who knows more about this era than I do:
