      In which case, as long as the cop wasn’t lying, or making an excuse, could be easily proven. People might be more likely to trust that they were speeding if cops didn’t lie at every interaction.

          That’s why you don’t fucking say anything because there’s a reason they say “you have a right to remain silent”

          But a lot of dumbass people don’t because they believe they can talk their way out of anything.

        Pfffft

        And you’re to imply that the violators don’t lie? What a joke you are.

          Is that not why I explicitly said “could be easily proven”? As long as I’m less of a joke than you, I’m quite content <3.

        I MAY talk like THIS because doing THIS way of talking MAKES me sound IMPORTANT.
