New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte has repeatedly placed equal blame on both parties for the federal government shutdown. Examples: Apparently, Ayotte believes that Democrats are NOT to blame for refusing to pass the same type of “clean” continuing resolution (maintaining current spending) that was passed thirteen times under Biden. Apparently, she believes that Republicans should ... Read more

Face it… it’s literally impossible to know every single federal and state law that you’re responsible for adhering to 24/7.

It’s physically and mentally impossible, but that’s what you’re expected to do.

My favorite law that Governor Kelly Ayotte won’t budge on that I support the public simply giving the middle finger to the State is 318-B:2, the so called “Controlled Drug Act,” that prohibits the use of Marijuana.  It pleases me every time I visit my local Marijuana store here in Massachusetts to see so many New Hampshire license plates…  and furthermore, the government elites and connecteds don’t comply with these laws even in jurisdictions where certain drugs are illegal, so why should you have to?

Use all the Marijuana you want, safely, but please don’t drive while doing it.  As a former Drug Recognition Expert who had to do death notifications after investigating a fatal car accident involving the use of Marijuana, I totally have the backs of law enforcement in attacking this particular issue.

In that light, speaking of lights, New Hampshire law enforcement has long disregarded RSA 265:112…  a law requiring they keep parking lights on while on the side of the road or in the median of the highway.

That’s right: at night it is required for law enforcement to keep their parking lights on so long as they are anywhere on the “way.”  That’s roads, shoulders, medians…  they never do this, but they’re going to now.

I must confess, I think this law is stupid as applied to the police, and I don’t blame law enforcement for not knowing about it or not wanting to follow it…  but fair is fair, and there is no exception for law enforcement.  It interestingly is the same level of offense as possessing a small amount of Marijuana in New Hampshire.

If it’s that serious, it needs be enforced. <grin>

If the Governor insists on picking on my friends (and if you’re a Marijuana user who just wants to be left alone and enjoy one of God’s many creations after a long days work, consider yourself my friend) that possess a drug safer than what she slings on the northbound or southbound side of the interstate, then I’m going to occasionally pick on her (many well meaning) enforcement agents who perpetuate her stupidity on the War on Drugs.

Lights on, New Hampshire law enforcement.
