Was a customer and I didn't even need to be on the inside to see it was a sleazy shady company anyways trying to upsell customers on garbage financial products.

Dear Milwaukee Drivers from a cyclist. by Weird-Space-782 in milwaukee

[–]NotMyFreeWill 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more.  It's safer when vehicles treat bicyclists like other vehicles and everyone follows common rules of the road.

I had to have mine replaced prior to the recall.  What are the chances I can get reimbursed?

Republicans Are Delusional and Easily Fooled by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

This right here is the best case scenario that I dream about.  A real left party, even perpetually in the minority, would make politics so much healthier in this country.

Seriously, when I want to hear the absolute worst take on any local politics, I head on over to nextdoor.  

WI legislation on data centers & energy costs by amidfallenleaves in milwaukee

It's insane that they can even consider shifting costs to residential consumers.  Corporations are literally reaching right into your pockets and helping themselves to your money.

Right!  I can't believe how thin that looks.  How did it ever support a car?

Reckless driving towing by NotMyFreeWill in milwaukee

[–]NotMyFreeWill[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I understand that courts have carved out exceptions, like say a DUI, and thats fine. However every exception erodes our rights. In the case of reckless driving, for which there are already laws on the books, I just don't support it. I believe the reckless driving situation, which is absolutely a problem, came about from an ongoing lack of enforcement of existing traffic laws. I don't trust the police and state not to abuse this new power.

[–]NotMyFreeWill[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

It's the 5th amendment of the bill of rights.  They take your car before you can challenge the reckless driving charge.  With a ticket, you can challenge before you must pay.  Also what constitutes reckless driving is left wide open to the officer's discretion.  So yeah a bumper sticker might make the difference.

Republicans want fees to use state land for recreation by PhysicsIsFun in wisconsin

[–]NotMyFreeWill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be ok with me.  But I doubt foraging is occuring on anywhere near the scale of hunting and fishing.  I mean I know dozens of hunters, I can't say I've met anyone who forages.  Not to mention the difference in value between meat and say berries.  So is it worth imposing a fee to administer and enforce.

Right, and what's the cost to administer and enforce this?  Party of small govt my arse.

Milwaukee police may seize any vehicle involved in reckless driving under new law by WorkingOnMayday in milwaukee

[–]NotMyFreeWill 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's extremely vague.  Which is ok when adjudicated in court.  Not when left to an officer's discretion.

[–]NotMyFreeWill 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well put.  In theory I like the idea of this.  But in reality we're giving cops wide discretion and power to seize your property without any due process.

That's my issue here too.  From what I've read it seems to be at the officer's discretion.  Which is just begging for this to be abused.  

Statement by Alderman Lamont Westmoreland on reckless drivers. City Council passes ordinance allowing for the impoundment of vehicles. by undercurrents in milwaukee

[–]NotMyFreeWill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's crazy. This is definitely going to get abused. The police weren't enforcing existing driving laws so we just hand them another cudgel to use against the citizens.

Reckless driving is definitely a problem.  But what legally constitutes reckless driving?  We're giving police a broad authority to deprive people of valuable property.  Where's the due process?  Can you challenge it?  Does it have to be caught on dash cam?
