But do we have some real stats around it?

Because like OP, I’ve heard it my entire life and have never heard of someone drowning in the tub without being drugged up or really ill.

I’ve used it a couple times, what a dumpster fire of an app.

Walked away years ago and refused to use it since.

Haha haha haha haha haha

Er, wut?

The ones with the bears

New York is also 180/360…

BINGO

The fines aren’t even the expensive part, it’s the increase in insurance.

As a former… assertive driver as a young adult, my insurance increased to insane levels. That got me to re-think my driving and turned me into the person everyone cusses for driving like grandpa.

You can’t pay to not lose your license, that’s not how it works at all.

You should go sit in criminal court for a day.

The reality is many jurisdictions just don’t enforce such things very well - there are many cases around the country of people getting their 3rd, 4th, 5th DUI and not losing their license or worse as the law is defined.

And those are often as not, not “rich people”.

Frankly judges see so much worse crime in their courts constantly that I think they’re hesistant to jail someone who is a mostly functional member of society compared to 90% of everyone else coming through their court.

Then there’s also the plea-bargaining process: prosecuting attorneys are directed to plea-bargain pretty much all cases to expedite the case load - courts are largely overwhelmed. I’ve seen guys in chains accused of multiple violent assault felonies (like assaulted multiple people in one go) plea bargain down to a fucking misdemeanor.

Again, go sit in criminal court for a day and you’ll see what I mean - it’s eye opening.

Some places don’t enforce this very well.

But it would be offset by the massive and recurring income from installing and maintaining the devices by a third party.

Let’s see who the companies providing these services are owned by.

Like when ticket cameras in vans became a thing 25 years ago: 80% of the “ticket” went to the camera van company. I say “ticket” because in many US jurisdictions only a police officer can issue a ticket, so these were unenforceable as tickets.

States had to update their laws to add “civil fees” as a thing just for such cameras.

Oh, but your corrections were perfect, and a great example!

I love eggs.

I’m having eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, spam and eggs!

Yea, thank you, neither my memory nor my fingers were working.

I’ll leave it as-is so people will know what you’re talking about.

Not exactly a new though, pretty sure Olato covered this 1000 years ago

As evidenced by the question in this post, there are.

OK, Kramer!

Sonofabitch, never thought of adding bacon bits!

That’s about as kind as anyone could be.

Definitely

I dunno, I’ve never cuddled anyone in public.

May just be a language difference without any underlying meaning.
