Yeah the "just throw it 60 times a game rook no worries" thing will get old fast behind those turnstiles.

I'm impressed so far in spite of them basically running his LSU offense because the relative talent isn't there and he's making things happen. Not to mention a short week of practice for his second NFL game ever. That being said, the Browns defense is awful. But there's more than enough there to be hopeful about if you're a Bengals fan. Btw - is it just me or does AJ Green look olllllld?

Dear Colorado public: you asked for it, you voted for it, you got it, now ***** deal with it. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/09/13/robert-thompson-aurora-police-defend-stand-down-orders/

The scenario you describe cannot happen if OP pleads guilty by mail or before the judge to the alleged violation.

Watching Tracey Porter walk into the endzone in the Colts-Saints super bowl is still burned into my brain. Was watching with a friend from Indiana who rode hard for the Colts. Ten years on and I think he still hasn't recovered.

So why should the OP use the options he has built into the system any less than your child would? Pleading not guilty should be the default to ANY charge. The burden is entirely on the state to prove their case, whether you allegedly murdered someone or you allegedly parked in such a way that you blocked the path of a street sweeper going by at 3 in the morning or anything in between. If the OP and the state find a middle ground between max penalty to the alleged violation and no penalty that's amenable to both sides, what's that to you?

Is this the advice you'd give a family member or child of yours if they got caught up in something really bad and charged with multiple felonies? "Yes, junior, just tell the nice prosecutor everything that happened and pay the penalty of the next 20 years of your life. Really make sure they throw the book at you in the name of your citizenship." The American justice system works a certain way (for high crimes and misdemeanors as well as traffic violations) for a reason. He most likely will pay a penalty for his actions - it just won't be the penalty codified in the NYS VTL under what he actually did. The guilty plea to a lesser charge serves as a penalty to him for the actions that resulted in a ticket and as a cost savings to the municipality in which he committed the violation. You can accept responsibility without completely falling on your sword. This binary "accept the points on your license, the $600 fine, the $300 DMV fee for the points, 15 days in jail, and an increase in your insurance rates for the next 7 years or else you're a terrible person" line is a lazy take.

I’m pretty charming 😎

"Gee, counselor, didn't realize it was guilty until proven innocent here!" Course that wouldn't get you any help. Does GA have a point system similar to NY or is it just a sliding scale fine depending on how fast you're going?

Yes, forgot to mention that before. NY is a different animal than other places.

I've gotten a bunch lol but never convicted of a moving violation. First three were all at once, car crash that was completely my fault when I was 17. Went away because I was close with the DA's daughter (no, not that close). Haven't gotten a ticket in 3 years now but get pulled over once a month or so. Lead foot 🤷‍♂️

Well when you're responding to someone whose post has a very distinct "that happened" tone you only have a choice between a few attitudes and condescension is probably the nicest of them.

Don't EVER plead guilty to a speeding ticket. Depending on where you are there's a whole process for the state to basically collect court surcharges (plus a little extra for the county) with no points on your license. Some places you show up to court on the day indicated on your ticket and the prosecutor will sit down and say "ok plead guilty to parking on pavement there's no points judge will tell you your fine" or you might have to show up a few times after pleading not guilty the day of. Sometimes the cop who wrote you will drop by the 2nd or 3rd court date and talk with the prosecutor (seems like that's what he's indicated) and work out a lesser, probably non-moving, violation for you to settle on and pony up some cash (much less than your speeding ticket would have been). All that fails, you can go have your day in court with a little trial for your moving violation. If the officer doesn't show up - you win! If he does show up, there's all sorts of stuff the state has to prove in order to make their case. Why would you gift them anything? Our legal system is set up to help defendants more than anyone else. Way too many good outcomes to showing up and pleading not guilty. Edit: as mentioned downthread this advice is for NYS ONLY. Other states have a different way of doing things.

Tagovailoa? The ***** kind of name is that? oh right squish the fish

Those were his first half numbers so probably just left out part of a line.

No

Coordinating and cooperating with? Is that what we’re going with? Not “be nice to because they’re the only ones not tryna blow up a cruiser or something?” In any case your best bet is to stay home unless your neighborhood has completely gone to *****.

Rioters: abolish police! also rioters: no you shouldn’t have the option to defend yourself and your communities kindly surrender your home, business, and rights

Don’t get me wrong, there are lots of great foster parents. But the system can’t keep up with all the kids. It just can’t. And unfortunately people like that slip through the cracks because they’ve never been caught before.

I spent two years as a CPS investigator for my county here in NY before transitioning to my current career. I was probably one of the only investigators that didn’t have childhood trauma of my own. The number of foster parent applications that don’t get past a very basic background check is astronomical. I wasn’t involved in that process but that’s what I know just off the top of my head. Being a male, I got pushed some of the worse cases. Just how it was. I worked in the CAC after a while. Pedophilia is rampant. We have no idea how many there are, but it’s a lot. There is no such thing as a non-offending pedophile. There should be zero mercy for those with confirmed preference for children.

If you’re going to shitpoast at least do it well.

Like it or not, the 2nd Amendment means that the presence of a weapon, isolated from other factors, is not a threat. Tough to claim self-defense when you feloniously possess said weapon, however. And it’s not an assault rifle.

Dude you’re better than this. A police shooting isn’t an execution. It’s an act of self-defense or defense of another against an armed criminal the overwhelming percentage of the time, including the case relevant to the thread. This has gotten way past the point of ridiculous now. You don’t tackle an armed man who resisted arrest, you don’t wrestle with him, you don’t ***** around with him. You negotiate his weapon away from behind a gun and gain compliance until he refuses to negotiate anymore. In this case, the negotiations included the use of a taser that failed to compel compliance. Some basic ***** we’ve learned since the news broke on this one: 1. Police were called by Blake’s girlfriend who informed police that Blake was not welcome in her home. 2. Police officers attempted to place Blake under arrest. Blake resisted. 3. After he resisted arrest, a taser deployment was used without success. 4. A knife was recovered from the scene and Blake admitted to possessing the knife in interviews following the shooting. This ***** only gets more cut and dry if a cop ends up catching a bullet, which is the really ***** obvious goal of all this nonsense. Every single cop worth a damn that has the years in NYPD has put in his papers because they recognize that simple fact.
