So the next time I forget to do all that shit, I'll pull over and call the cops on myself. That's just how it is. I broke the law. There are consequences to be paid.

And what I wrote was fact. Yes laws are written as plainly as possible, but many are open for interpretation. "Reckless driving" can apply to damn near anything a cop wants it to, just as a cop can pull you over for doing 30mph over the limit and give you a ticket for having a taillight out and send you on your way, grateful for the levity.

about cops funding their own needs.
