Laws (unjust ones aside) are made by representatives of the populace; flouting them is therefore a moral infraction against your fellow citizens, not against police officers.
(That said, many laws are unjustly/unevenly enforced. If I was pulled over for what I knew to be a legitimately BS reason, I'd have no qualms flashing one of these.)
- Cyberdog 9y agoKidnapping someone and locking them in a concrete box is a far greater moral infraction than almost all of the "reasons" that law enforcement does that to people. You deserve every opportunity to stop that from happening to you.
- colanderman 9y agoWhat disingenuous hyperbole. The infractions for which you can use these cards result in fines, not jail time; failure to pay these fines typically results in wage garnishment, not jail time: http://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/portal/page?_pageid=55,1272338&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL http://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/portal/page?_pageid=55,1272338&_da... (Jailing people for inability to pay fines/be garnished is a moral issue, about which there's been lots of rumbling lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjpmT5noto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjpmT5noto)
