Well, by that definition then 38 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. must have modeled themselves on Putin’s Russia, because that’s how many permit sobriety checkpoints, and SCOTUS has upheld the practice as constitutional.  Amusingly, they’re prohibited by state laws in the most soused states (looking at you, Wisconsin…

“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

Oh no! Kids are going to be forced to not break and learn how to fix their bikes??? The horror!
