Honestly he is no danger to himself or others

As many of you have gathered my mind takes off in directions beyond my control. Take last night for example. I drive the speed limit. I usually have my cruise control set to the speed limit on the road I am driving. Boy does that piss people off. I am offered sex an average of 5 times a day, but since it is offered by males i must pass. At least that is what that one fingered salute means as it was explained to me back in the dark ages of my youth. To be a courteous driver I keep an eye open to whats around me. More drivers should try this you see way neat-o things. So I saw Johnny Law pass me and scowl about my speed (I assume) , and that is where my mind took of into another direction.

I was picturing the fun I could have in the courts if he had stopped me.
"Excuse me Officer why do you want my papers?"
"You were not keeping up with the flow of traffic."
"But my speedometer said I was going at the limited posted by the proper authorities. And this being Citrus Heights there is a sign when you enter this jurisdiction that says traffic laws are strictly enforced."
"That is core ct sir but the rules of the road also state that you keep up with the flow of traffic."
"Yes Officer I agree there on that point but the written law states speed limit is 40 MPH in this stretch of road. So what your saying here is that if a bunch of us violate the law it is OK. Those that do not follow the herd will be punished?"
"No sir that rule is for your safety."
"OK wait just a minute here the flow of traffic rule is for my safety even if it violates a speed limit enacted for safety? How does a mere mortal decide which law to break? Which has the lower penalty?"

Of course this didn't happen but oh the fantasies I went on for this one. I would let them charge me and accept the charges. After I paid the fine I would find a petty offence in that jurisdiction that did not harm any one that was committed all the time by others and do it in such a way as to be caught. Then use my conviction as my defense. Following the herd is legal in this jurisdiction. I believe the term is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

I wonder how many times it would take using this defense that a jurisdiction would close the dumb laws or enforce ALL the ones that they have on the books. Of course the slapping sound of jackboots comes to mind when I see them attempting to enforce all the rules. Jails are full lets institute public flogging, thank you Admiral Bob. It has always been my belief that organisms learn to not do something because it hurts. "Don't grab that pan Stephen it is hot," if you were there or heard the story you know how that teenage hairless ape learns.
