I've actually bee curious to see what happens in Waze, if you go double the speed limit.
For those that don't know, waze has a speedo thing in the bottom corner, it completes a full circle when you hit the speed limit, and then starts a new one in red when you go over. so in theory when you hit 2x the speed limit, whats it going to do?
I've been tempted to try it, but there's only one area I would, and that's actually right by a state patrol office, it's a closed dead-end road that just accesses some government buildings/facilities with a 15mph limit, but most people (even school buses) do 25+ (it's safe). So if I were to do it, I'd add it and do it there when safe.
I know the road well.
She's lucky because area's usually riddled with cops - so bad and so frequent with speedtraps (causing people to suddenly hit their brakes) or "DUI checkpoints" especially in Henry County (where the Atlanta Motor Speedway is) that its more surprising that she got to go fast without being pulled.
If they started that, I'll find out and they won't like it, just like 13 years ago.

friend of mine is spreading a bunch of this 5G bullshit.
He's a systems engineer at British Telecom... and has been since the teledot (or 'pre-bugler') days. His garage is all full of BT scrap from exchange gear he's ripped out - we even made a motor controller system using 50v ringer contacts - the ones that were used to send the ring signals to peoples phones that were only just being removed 20 years ago (despite the exchanges going digital 30 years ago). We've even worked on a whole bunch of radio projects together, and yet he doesn't 'get' that 5G is nothing....
last week, wife signed up for HBO whatever, just because dr who is going to be on it.
we put the app on our Roku TV, and.... no Dr Who.
Turns out its the 'wrong HBO' and the right one isn't on Roku, and shes annoyed.
Have to use the xbox now.
its a real pain because we can just use the phone app to turn on the tv and start loading the channel before we get in the room. Now we have to do that to turn it to the Xbox input, then grab the xbox remote turn it on, wait for it to power up, select the HBO app etc......
for the last 3 years, we used our xbox1 to do 99% of our streaming.
3 months ago we bought a new TV to replace our main tv that had the backlight go out. It was a TCL, so it was a built-in ROKU device. we've barely used the xbox for streaming since.

"and any potential intoxicants in his system"
This was the phrase that screamed coverup to me.
What's the proceedure that's SO standard for an autopsy, it's one that can be performed on living bodies. - a blood sample for intoxicants.
Either the coroner failed to do THE most basic and routine test he can do, or he did it, found nothing, and needed to create a phrase to seed doubt.
If you can't detect if there were intoxicants ***AT AN AUTOPSY*** when the fuck can you?
MArbury v madison shows that the courts can review laws to see if they are in accord with the constitution.
In other words, it's checking to see if new laws by the legislature are written in accordance with the constitution.
Qualified immunity isn't a law by the legislature, it's entirely a court creation, with no statutory backing. MvM doesn't apply because it's not judicial review of legislation.
Would you like me to rephrase the concept slightly different a few more times, so you can maybe understand that MvM doesn't come close to applying here?
You know why I for one didn't have anything to do with it?
For a start, saturation adverts. If you maybe tell me about it once, I might check out what it is and see if its interesting.
If you're constantly fucking ramming it down my throat, no, I don't want it, and FUCKING SHUT UP ABOUT IT!
I aint going to even consider it, because I'm SO sick to death of hearing about it I don't want to go anywhere near it.
The more you bug me to "take you to Mount Splashmore", the more likely I am to burn your bathing suits, and traumatize you against pools.
Second, the format - I don't want to watch short video 'vertically', it's ANNOYING. "Gee, what's the worst thing about badly made videos" "shooting vertically" "Lets make a platform around that!"
Finally, going 'full peloton' on me is a bad idea.
trying to tell me how edgy, hip and cool you are, and how many stars you have tells me one thing - you have a shit product and you're trying to wow me with superficialities, and hint to me that its cool, and i'd be cool if I watched it.
I'm not 5. It may work on your joey Essex's but not me.
Worse, it's not actually 'cool', it's some old executives idea of cool. It's full Steve buscemi with a skateboard 'cool'.
So to summarize, he pissed away a shit-ton a money, annoying his potential market with shitty adverts that were bad 'fake cool' to promote pretty poor products that could only be marketed on the basis of fake-cool.
But that's all TOTALLY Covid...
I remember many years ago, a world renown Snooker player was challenged to play a game of Jimmy White Whirlwind Snooker on TV. He lost. He'd just recently lost in the final of the World Snooker Championships that year, because yes, the player was Jimmy White.
Hell I could probably have beaten Jimmy white on that game, even though I knew I was nowhere near his standard at actual snooker. And I know that, because 2 years earlier, I too had played the man that beat him in that Championship (John Parrott) and got my clock cleaned a lot worse than Jimmy did (happened to run into John at my local club, he'd go to random ones in the city to avoid stalkers, and wouldn't play against adults, only youth players to give us some tips on where we needed to improve our game while we were still young.

Legislating from the bench
I'm unaware of any statute that gives this qualified immunity any existence.
So it's a simple case - it needs to be strictly enshrined in legislation, or it needs to go away.
Having something that is the sole creation and opinion of a few judges is not something that can stand.
