    By their “logic”, don’t you enter into the contract to utilize the parking spots on the government-funded roads as soon as you park your car there?

    Stupid people congregating together on message boards trying to game the system. Like children making arguments to stay up past bedtime.

      Their whole system is based on if you’re not held accountable in the moment, you’re free.

      America’s legal system moves real fucking slow. There’s people in my city that just straight up haven’t used license plates for years. Because cops won’t pull someone over for no plates.

      Eventually they’ll get an accident they can’t drive away from tho, then they’re getting all types of charges because you can’t insure an unregistered car too.

      They think because there hasn’t been consequences yet, that none will ever come.

      That’s what’s going on with these tickets too. They think it works, they don’t know they’re just racking up chickens that are gonna show up to roost one day.

      In the meantime they make these social media posts telling everyone it works, and more people do it, which bogs the system down even more.

          Exactly.

          There’s still idiots who claim it was ok because they were “let in” when police retreated due to violence.

          By their logic a mugging has never happened, the victim decided of their own free will that losing a wallet was better than being shanked by a meth head.

          So 100% legal apparently

      Never mind the contract of driving on the roads to get to the parking spots. Those roads weren’t built by god, someone has to fund them.

      Government-funded means from taxes we pay, which means we are co-proprietors of funded products, which means we don’t have to pay. Checkmate! Hah!
