Here's my assumption: fuck you prove it. That should be the assumption of everyone accused of a crime. Especially accused by a bunch of cameras installed by the Epstein class to spy on us all day. I keep my phone on my lap so I can listen to podcasts and thats where I can hear it best.
So maybe stop simping for billionaire pedophiles and remember you are supposed to be someone living in a free society and protected by the rule of law instead of licking fascist boots.
The fuck is wrong with you? You think I'm simping for billionaires because i don't think you should be able to drive while using your phone? And back to the original question, what good reason could she have to have her phone out? I can't think of one.
You need to go back and read the article because you obviously don't understand what actually happened.
I mean, holy hell batman, people are actually losing their ability to read and comprehend what they just read and then go on weird tyrades while totally misrepresenting the substance of the article because they were too lazy to read more than every 50th word.
This is fucking scary guys. Get a fucking grip. It's not that long and the language used is not that complex. Adults should be able to read and comprehend this short basic article, for fucks sake.
We are SO doomed as a species.
I get what happened. I don't agree with the ticket. I don't like spy cameras everywhere. These are not what i originally posted about. I asked what reason could someone have to have a phone out on their lap while driving their car. Did i go on a weird tirade? I didn't think i did.
First of all I just gave you a reason, so I'm going to agree with the other guy in that you're extremely bad at reading comprehension.
As for the rest? Yeah you were 100% simping for the Epstein class. Anyone who supports the police surveillance state is doing the work of pedophile billionaires. That's who you're in bed with. So either get the fuck out of that bed or keep licking I guess. Ain't going to help you though.
I don't think yours is a very good reason. If you are holding it in your lap to listen to podcasts that's not a good spot. It can very easily fall on the floor or next to the seat, which will absolutely distract you enough to cause an accident. Get a dash mount, they're like $5.
I'm not supporting the cameras and don't think they should be writing tickets. I'm just talking about how holding your phone on your lap makes no sense to do. I think there is like a 99% chance she was looking at her phone 5 seconds before this picture was taken.
I don't give a fuck if you think its a good reason. Despite your deep love of fascism you don't get to control me or anyone else.
