Above The Law
As many of you (especially those here in California) are aware, there is a new law, effective yesterday (July 1) requiring handsfree devices for anyone using a cellphone while driving. I could offer plenty of libertarian arguments against this regulation, and I’m sure we could all have a long debate about ownership of the roads and whether it makes sense.
But I saw something today that just made the point moot. Driving around in traffic heavy San Diego, I saw a cop rolling down the street with a cell phone up to his ear, yapping away. Had I had a cellphone camera, I would have snapped a shot of this, but unfortunately it happened too quickly for a reaction from me.
Apparently, what’s good for the gander is not good for some specific geese. Or, put more succinctly, some geese are more equal than others.
Don’t ask questions, just follow orders.

Since when did cops ever follow those little laws? They’re the ones who are always speeding down the road 20mph over the speed limit and tailgaiting people.
