Reply to Dispute from our neighbours by Wondering_shell
OP is annoyingly unclear. They wouldn’t get a ticket if they didn’t violate a law.

I thought I was just imagining it, that my coffee was a little weedy this morning.

Annoying part too is they leave a full car length in front and those in the jug handle don't have room to merge in.

Reply to comment by zoicyte in Is RealID a replacement for State ID/License? by skhope
Nj began issuing real ID in September 2019. I was off by a year. So no, you absolutely have not had one since 2006. Also, you should look into it, since you seem to think you have one by default, when they don’t even do that as of now.

No you haven’t, and I don’t know why you seem to think you have. They literally did not even start issuing them until about 2020. I don’t know why you think this, but you are absolutely 100% mistaken.

That’s not at all true or accurate , nj driver’s licenses have not ever been real id by default. They only began issuing them at all several years ago at the most if I recall correctly. The federal government has routinely pushed back the date to make real ID mandatory for domestic air travel, because many states, not just NJ, had been running behind in the roll out. Then the pandemic came around and made it an even bigger problem for people to get them, and it was pushed back again. I’ve had an NJ drivers license for over 15 years, I don’t currently have a real ID license, and I never have. They are not given out by default in this state.
Edit: to further clarify, since the roll out of real ID in Nj, all drivers licenses either have the real id star, or explicitly say they are not real id.
Perhaps you are confusing Real ID with the points system of ID needed to obtain the license? That was initiated as part of the process that would be required to obtain the Real id, but real id did not itself begin until 2020 or so.

Reply to Do any of the trains that go through populated areas of Bergen County carry dangerous chemicals like vinyl chloride? by [deleted]
The 1980 Chemical Control fire in Elizabeth showed how poorly NJ handled Haz Mat. When you drive past the industrial complexes of Linden and Elizabeth or Oak Island in Newark you have to wonder when something bad could happen again.

You misunderstand me.
Up until like literally this year NJ DLs have been realID SINCE 2001 or whatever. Now suddenly as they’re becoming required for national flights in 3 years NJ decides to cheap out and go back to less secure drivers licenses? Wtf.

Speaking of, have you noticed those folks at a red light rummaging through their car like someone dropped a live grenade in there? You have the steering wheel in front of you, based on the fact that you are on a public roadway, the pedals are there too. What else do they need so urgently while driving?

Mandatory overtime required by contracts. Police unions are at the root of the problem in almost every instance of police malfeasance

The problem is not the small (tiny?) amount of thug/brutal/corrupt cops on payroll, its the insane amout of protection these bad cops get from the police unions and PBAs that is the problem. Otherwise good cops will almost never ever ever turn jn a bad cop-PERIOD. And we are talking about cops who rape, murder, burglarize, sell drugs etc. Those walking shit bags with a badge have near full immunity and if by some reason they do get caught- most of the time they retire with full salary and then we'll go to a neighboring town to get another police job.

I don't think that I'll ever emotionally recover from such a heinous insult especially because it's from a redditor

Weed smelling like skunk isn't a bad thing
