A high school classmate of mine (many many years ago) was unexpectedly and brazenly pulled out of a school-wide assembly by local police one morning.
It was the talk of the school. Rumors spread like wildfire. Consensus was that whatever she did, it must have been terrible.
She had driven past a stopped school bus.
If this reaction is acceptable when a person does it, a $1 fine for a company is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens.
- zug_zug 10mo agoI mean my immediate reaction is it's probably not reasonable what happened to your classmate. One wrong doesn't justify another...
- Atomic_Torrfisk 10mo agoSo Waymo should go relatively unpunished? Sure the laws might be draconian, but at least apply them evenly, or change them for everyone.
- SpicyLemonZest 10mo agoI don't think punishments should be decided relative to social media anecdotes. If there's some area of the country where local police routinely show up in assemblies or other gatherings and arrest people for driving past school busses, I support reforming their laws; in my local jurisdiction it's a traffic violation and police don't do that.
- LorenPechtel 10mo agoEdge case that Waymo missed. They'll fix it. Their track record is good enough I have no problem with not punishing them.
- moomoo11 10mo agoI think it’s fine. She could have killed someone.
