    I remembered that Valorie Curry, who played Firecracker in "The Boys", also played Arthur's sister Dot in Prime's version of "The Tick." I hadn't watched it in a while and now I'm almost done season 1.

    By "pedestrian right of way" do you mean not within the duration of the walk indicator, or within the crosswalk? Under the HTA bicycles are vehicles, not pedestrians. There are fines for them riding in the crosswalk and they aren't held to the walk indicators. While the cyclist is taking his...

    Here's a good one. Someone in Oakland, California, finally had enough of the stupid "street takeovers" and trapped a bunch of the morons on the Bay Bridge. They only got a few of them, but they got a ton of their bikes...

    Twice now I've looked at the second movie, forgetting that I had seen it before. I'm done with "Dances With Blue Aliens."

    Maybe if the rider was pointing or displaying a firearm. This sort of thing is never charged appropriately, if at all. It always seems to be some sort of traffic violation, instead of assault/battery with a weapon.

    If I'm reading that correctly it would jibe with my instinct that while violent crime itself is decreasing, the severity of those violent crimes is increasing.

    They don't need it. Brampton is still monitoring the speed cameras, though they can't charge anyone for what they have. They're using it to try and push for reinstating them by using the data for increased speeds, after the ban went into place. I really don't like how they expanded the camera...

    So Waymo is coming here? Based on the Los Angeles experience it's going to be mayhem. AI bad drivers. Example at 3:47:

    Nope. Not in my experience. Following to close is the go-to. If it doesn't get charged that way, then it gets pleaded down to it anyway.

    It would typically be a "following too close" ticket and there's not anywhere down from there to go.

    Be interesting to see how that plays out. The U-Turner should almost always be at fault.

    I'd like to see someone make a Charter challenge based on the fact that they just increased the ability to hold more people, for more time, rather than improve the Charter Right to trial within reasonable time.

    Yeah, ideally you can do both at the same time. One issue is that we seems so stuck on punitive action, that addressing root causes gets left by the wayside.
