In CA I recently received a ticket for crossing the double yellow line while entering the diamond lane. I had two occupants in the car. I moved into the lane about 50 feet before I was "legally" able to enter the lane, mainly to avoid an impending accident ahead of me with several brake lights shining in my lane. I figured it was the safest move to make and any officer nearby would understand. Apparently not. He put his lights on soon after I entered the diamond lane wanting me to pull over immediately. I stayed my course because it would have been yet another fine if I crossed back out of the diamond lane when I wasnt supposed to. I waited until I was legally able to make the lane change, then proceeded to pull over. He wasnt happy.

I would like to fight this. Can anyone find some links regarding fighting diamond lane violations (and winning) and/or the various diamond lane laws just within California alone? If I did this near San Francisco, this would have been perfectly legal. TNX!

Where's the best place to join if you want to be a future police officer? I'd want to go into Military Police for a few years, and then become a patrol officer...

As a resident of Southern California, I see a lot of illegal immigration. However, the kind of immigration that bothers me the most is the practice of having "anchor babies". That is what happens when pregnant women run across the border and have their baby in the U.S., therefore they get to stay because their child is now considered a citizen, plus they get access to all sorts of free public aid.
I read somewhere that the government is considering changing the rules of citizenship, and I was hoping to see what you folks think about this:
What if we change the rules of citizenship here to be not that you are just born here, but instead, one of your parents must be a citizen in order to have citizenship from childhood. Otherwise you become eligible for citizenship after the age of 18. This would help lessen the financial drain that anchor children have on our economy in the border states.
Do you think this would be fair?

I'm thinking of a first term with a length of 1 year (like a trial/internship), giving the people an option to get rid of a dud early on and then successive terms of 4 or 5 years, if re-elected after the first one-year term.

Would allow the nation to take risks on less reliable candidates with relative impunity.

Into our country and smuggle drugs, commit murder and other serious crimes, because they are uneducated, greedy and lazy.

I'm sure you've all heard of the ex-dictators pending death.
But I want to know your opinions:
#1: Do you think his exocution is justified?
#2: Do you think I spelled exocution right?
#3: What did he do that was soo bad that he deserves this?
#4: Whose job is it to end lives The Almighty or Humans?

Think carefully about each of these and thank you for helpng me understand this situation a little bit better.

Right now I feel like I'm going nowhere with my life.. I'm stuck in the same sick cycle with my guy I've been with for three years.. I want to be a police officer but I know they'd much rather have someone with a college education *which I can't pay for on my own right now..* I'm finishing up a drug deferred entry of judgement program and after that I'd want to join the Marines.. Would they have a problem with someone who's used before? And not only that.. I've been a cutter too.. I want to serve my country and help those in need, but I don't want those in the USMC to look down upon me..

If developers are acting as ex facto government when did anyone elect them? Are developers government or privately owned companies? That is the question, before the Supreme Court. Why do you think Congress and Senate have done nothing?

Quote ..."A government is Big enough to give you everything you want...is a government Big enough to take from you everything you have." Gerald R. Ford...

Are judges wrong in favoring developers? The Constitution of the United States guarantees individuals to own and have property.

the reason we [aid this loan back is because we are not dependent on anyone, sub servent or otherwise...we went our own way for much of the war as the only democratic country that stood out against injustice and bigotry.

but we when we couldnt do it ourselves we paid our way, we are British and dont accept handouts.......instead of knocking our country be proud of our PRIDE
