Same for the Republican Party as a whole. The only reason they condemned Timothy McVeigh is that the media was just too drat polite to point out he was motivated by the right wing narrative on Waco/Ruby Ridge.

The right loves their domestic terrorist.

Florida does require personal injury protection insurance. But otherwise, yeah--no inspections or whatnot.

Of course, the fun question is "how many are still driving without insurance anyway?"

thank you, i should've clarified that they require "insurance" that will not actually help anyone in case of an accident

Not having to get a safety inspection on a vehicle is completely alien to me, and I live in Texas. TEXAS! Do people just drive around with poo poo falling off their cars and with non-functioning indicators and stuff, running rich and burning oil or coolant or whatever and no one thinks that's a problem?

I just got this image in my head of the Trump brothers driving around Florida in a panic because the FBI is already on to their bombing spree and they don't know what to do, then they spot this guy's van and a light bulb goes off and they just run up to him and go "hey man, can you go to federal prison for us for like 50 years?" and he's just like "Hell yeah!"

No, people maintain their vehicles and modern cars run better than older ones do anyway. Vehicle inspections are a scam.

When I was a kid we had to have regular inspections in SC but they actively changed the law to remove the requirement

IDk, I've been to most of the states and there is no discernible difference between the cars found in say Texas vs Oklahoma. The emissions testing in dense areas makes sense, but the "safety" inspections make as much sense as banning self-serve pumps in New Jersey in the name of public safety.

Yeah. You'll see a few cars a day with just no bumper, beat to poo poo, but if your indicator is broken you theoretically get pulled over

the emissions testing actually makes it harder to beat inspections, at least here in ny. before that though, yeah, if you knew the mechanic he'd just scrape the old sticker off put on the new one and send you on your way

The Mastered Mind


The effort by APS (AZ energy company) against Arizona's Clean Energy proposition is equally brazen and absurd. Our (very conservative) Attorney General was forced to file suit against several AZ counties and towns for violating the law because they used tax dollars to fund town/county initiatives campaigning against prop 127. They actually used public money to campaign people to vote a certain way.

This is glaringly obviously illegal such that even a friendly to the concept AG can't ignore it. However, it contains a light enough penalty ($5,000) that these elected officials don't remotely care and see it as worth while to intentionally break the law to try to get prop 127 voted down.

Here is a quote from an APS representative gloating about that fact.

"Matthew Benson, a spokesman working for APS' parent company to fight Prop. 127, said that if the communities violated the law, it was not a big deal, and he said Clark made the complaint to help pass the clean-energy measure.
"This complaint on the part of Yes on 127 surrogates is an attempt to punish local leaders who spoke out against Prop. 127," Benson said. "It’s not going to amount to anything, I suspect. At most, perhaps the state will assess a de minimis fine for a de minimis violation. That’d be fitting."

Personally I support insane level Japanese style vehicle inspections once poo poo gets beyond a certain age, but that's a non-starter in the US for so many reasons. Also, not really under the umbrella of this thread.
