Good. Fuck the po-lice. Didn't you learn nothing as a kid?
Taking a DL does nothing. Take and sell the car. The problem is even in high speed chase states the suspect usually gets off pretty easy.We could take away their drivers license for 10 years, on a first-offense no matter what. No "work-permit" BS and no slack whatsoever.
You get caught driving even once it becomes mandatory lifetime license revocation.
AND then a hefty fine on top of the above.

Pierce County investigation report: Sheriff Ed Troyer violated policies in encounter with newspaper carrier
A Pierce County investigation into Sheriff Ed Troyer's encounter with a newspaper carrier released Tuesday says Troyer violated county policies. He called a police-only emergency line during the incident, triggering a massive police response.www.seattletimes.com
OP said:Critics have pointed to lawmakers’ passage of Washington House Bill 1054 last year that banned high-speed pursuits except in a few very specific circumstances, KLCC reported.
The legislation was passed in reaction to the death of George Floyd in the custody of the Minneapolis police but now some state residents are questioning the wisdom of the restrictive policing policies.

Horrible idea. You then have to go to court if the ticket was mistakenly issued or there we're mitigating circumstances. I'd much rather discuss it with the officer at the scene and avoid a day wasted in traffic court.highway patrol should mail tickets like the toll roads do. no need to pull people over for regular speeding.
cops wouldn't get to hassle minorities for driving while black tho

Yes, better to just have dedicated and unarmed traffic police. You don't need a gun to write a speeding ticket.Horrible idea.

You actually get off from tickets by "discussing" it? That's some mighty privilege you have there.Horrible idea.

He still doesn't get it.lol, it's good to be one of the people that get to discuss things with police at the scene.
It has nothing with arguing. Piss the cop off and he's writing the ticket. Be calm, be honest, and explain the situation without any slant or BS.You actually get off from tickets by "discussing" it? That's some mighty privilege you have there.
Generally, the cop assumes he/she is correct, and if you question them they'll probably slap another fine on you lol.
I'm in Canada, so I don't generally have to worry about being shot by cops (despite being coloured), but I would still not try to argue with a cop.
Really? That didn't help Philando CastiloIt has nothing with arguing. Piss the cop off and he's writing the ticket. Be calm, be honest, and explain the situation without any slant or BS.
The last time I was pulled over was for doing 81 in a fifty five zone. I explained to the officer that my truck had never traveled at that speed, and that his radar gun was obviously defective. The officer accepted my story and sent me on my way.
At the time I was in heavy traffic following a loaded box van. It's possible that I was traveling at 56mph, 81 was unattainable under the conditions at that time.
Fair enough. I think maybe since you're an older person (if I'm not mistaken) they may be more lenient. To younger people I don't think cops are that lenient, even if they are calm.It has nothing with arguing. Piss the cop off and he's writing the ticket.

It's been my experience that most police respond well to honesty. When I'm in the wrong I freely admit it and offer an explanation for my actions. That explanation was "I wasn't paying attention" twice. Both times I was released with a warning.

What, no summary execution?We could take away their drivers license for 10 years, on a first-offense no matter what. No "work-permit" BS and no slack whatsoever.

Yup. I remember as a new 24 year old engineer driving early Monday mornings 5 hours from my home to a job-site in Arkansas to work 4 10's before driving home Thursday evening. One morning at about 3:30AM I got pulled over. I was doing the speed limit since I knew where every small town along the way was and where their speed zones started. The officer asked how fast I was going I told him I had slowed down from 65 to 55mph for the speed zone. He said he clocked me at 60mph. I was polite and he let me off with a warning after running my plates.It has nothing with arguing. Piss the cop off and he's writing the ticket. Be calm, be honest, and explain the situation without any slant or BS.

Yup, near 65.Fair enough. I think maybe since you're an older person (if I'm not mistaken) they may be more lenient. To younger people I don't think cops are that lenient, even if they are calm.
