I find this a very odd and non compelling argument
Just now many people have a) private land and b) private land in sufficient quantity and state that you can actually drive a car on it?
- mmmlinux 9mo agobasically every farmer.
- lp0_on_fire 9mo agoSo is the argument that only farmers should be able to have a vehicle?
- davorak 9mo agoFarmers who own their farm is the traditional group that would qualify. That population is much smaller than it used to be to my understanding though.
- iamnothere 9mo agoIt’s pretty common to have unlicensed off road vehicles, especially in the mountain west. Farmers and ranchers often have at least one of these. There’s plenty of recreational users as well.
- lp0_on_fire 9mo agoCompare the numbers of farmers and ranchers to the rest of the population. How many recreational users have private land in sufficient quantities?
- iamnothere 9mo agoThat doesn’t mean that this isn’t true in a technical sense. It’s correct that it isn’t feasible for the majority of the population. You’ll sometimes also see small communities with private roads that allow unlicensed vehicles, such as retirement communities, but they often have their own standards for what is allowed.
- nkrisc 9mo agoWhat’s your point? It’s true.
- lp0_on_fire 9mo agoIt’s true in the same way that it’s technically true anyone* can buy a football team. * anyone with a few hundred million in the bank.
- singleshot_ 9mo agoI do! I call it my “driveway.” Related: 20 days until the Daytona 500!
- B1FIDO 9mo agoIt seems like a moot point -- If you are driving off-road, or completely on private property, you're not really driving the vehicle to "go somewhere" or commute or transport people/goods. It isn't really feasible to use a vehicle for actual transportation without using public roads, at least in these United States. So what possible cause or reason would any law enforcement have, for going into a vehicle like that and searching it? I mean, compared to someone driving on a public road and "going somewhere" while "carrying stuff" in there? Nearly none, right?
