This is just the DC sandwich thrower case with a different ideological bent. Either you believe in holding the government to their legal burden or you don't, you can't pick and choose based on whether you agree with what the government is trying to punish.
A D.C.-based attorney spent three years fighting a $100 ticket he got from a speed camera in the city. He eventually won in D.C.'s highest court on a novel legal technicality, and thousands of other drivers could end up benefitting from it: notus.org/metro/dc-lawyer-sp…

If the government is going to rely on machines to punish the populace I think it's reasonable to hold them to being at least 51% sure that the person was actually doing what the machine said they were doing

This discourse about the DC traffic ticket case has been scientifically engineered to rage bait me to the moon

I love when journalists refers to basic legal rights based on the Constitution as a "technicality"

I've lived in NYC for nearly 20 years and I'm still not from here and it's fine because the only time I've ever thought about it is during the occasional twitter discourse cycle

Really happy for the guy at Rikers who took his opportunity to get quoted in the paper and used it to roast Timothee Chalamet

I too am enjoying Hunter Biden being a great poster, but some people are a little too surprised that the son of a President is smart, well-informed, and good at communicating, as if they think addiction only happens to idiots

Anyway I do think we could get Hunter in on the "what was hipster music" discourse

they should make a show about hockey where the players are gay but it's mostly incidental to the plot which is about hockey

I mostly enjoyed the Heated Rivalry parody musical, but it was only funny when engaging with the peripheral parts of the show. There was a huge hole in the center where the romance of it all exists and so it was weird. hellgatenyc.com/off-broadway…

I can't really expect a 75-minute parody to capture the nuance of the original, but there were more and better jokes about the current state of Broadway in the show than jokes about the core plot of Heated Rivalry

That said I laughed many times and the parts of it that were a parody of the experience of watching heated rivalry were really good (as was the Skip section)
