If they’re planning on playing, and they’re looking for a field then a new stadium is NOT needed. All the stadium was - was a promise to the unions in exchange for votes. Soccer YES - stadium NO!! Test the waters, see what the demand is like them determine if a stadium is needed.

I understand people’s concerns about our tax dollars. I like this project because it’s something I support. I’d have voted yes if it had come to that. Our state motto is “Hope” and like many of my fellow Rhode Islanders, I’m excited to have a soccer team we can call our own! I have all the hope and faith in the world for this

How common do you think that really is?

>cop will see that and ticket for distracted driving.
If a cop sees you reaching for or using your phone after getting pulled over, they could do the same thing. This is one of those infractions that is 1000% based on the word of the cop. And, as I already pointed out, encouraging people to reach for something that might be out of the way is probably going to raise suspicion.

This feels like an appropriate time to remind people that you do not have to answer questions from the police.

I promise I started reading this with a skeptical eye, but yes, by the end the shit was quite egregious.

A state law wouldn’t matter here anyway - OPs issue is because of a federal requirement, and the state attempting to prosecute someone for violating federal law would go poorly.

You could be potentially charged with DUI: Observation, but odds are, if you're being asked to perform an FST, you are in fact inebriated, and you're just helping build a case against yourself.

Just to add a step, if stolen return to rightful owners, or dealers they are sometimes stolen from. A shame when a reputable shop needs to block the door with their truck and chain their inventory to the floor.

Then why not collect some tax revenue from it?

Empirical evidence shows that no one in RI has ever read the drivers' manual, so no one knew it had these issues for 30 years.

If they're asking you to take a field sobriety test in the first place, there's a pretty good chance your fate for the evening has already been sealed.

I mean this pamphlet is going to be geared toward new drivers who would mostly be teens.
Instructing them to behave as if they’re adults ( common courtesy) does everyone a favor.

The Prudence Island Ferry is available on Saturday nights from 7:00-10:00, leaving from Bristol. We went on a cruise last summer and it was a lot of fun.

ATVs are illegal to drive on the streets of Providence- the law is clear on this. Just confiscate these vehicles, destroy them, and fine the offenders. Should solve the problem pretty quickly, no?

I bet you on average the advice to turn off the phones would save more people than it harms.
Imagine how many people pulled over with a game playing on their phone or a movie , cop will see that and ticket for distracted driving.
I’m in favor of striking the cellphone section though because I’m smart enough so this wouldn’t affect me.

As long as they are loud and can be used to misbehave, I think so, sadly.

Oh, I didn’t look at used. It’s possible then, but looking at some stats about used pricing most recent models (2017 and up) are still starting around $3k. Definitely more accessible. How old are the ones they’re using?
