itt jerome scuggs asks for legal advice

[DankNuggets]

What?

He's serious. The FHWA (federal highway administration) give federal money to states to pay for maintenance of interstate highways. To receive this money, the states must comply with a minimum drinking age of 21. Theoretically, the limit is 18, but (all?) states have upped the limit to continue to receive federal funds.

yeah, it's pretty funky how they did it, but it works because everyone needs highways, and can't afford to do without it, so fighting the law is pointless.

i saw that a few states were considering telling the feds to essentially "take their money and shove it" but thats was months back and i dont think anything happened.

My jokes only become funny when you are drunk. My theories only make sense when you are on acid. And we couldn't relax if you weren't totally stoned.
Let's destroy other peoples hard earned property for the sake of cheap thrills and declare our manhood.

Let's also brag about driving high and not getting caught... because hey it's so cool man!

[DankNuggets]

are you people denying that getting away with something that you don't feel you should be punished for feels good? and i'm not talking about murder, i'm talking about non-violent "offenses". Especially for the people who claim they don't do this kinda stuff all the time.

dude driving while you are high is fucking fun as shit I don't care who you are.

i second this, especially for low level shroom trips. it's like playing a video game.

[gran guerrero]

it really is not that hard driving high, unless you are introduced to weed at an early stage and you feel so god damn retarded then you shouldn't be doing anything really except for eating food and watching funny movies.

edit: and when I drove on shrooms, it was like driving mickey mouses's car.

I drove on acid and I got scared because cops were fucking everywhere on the road, but Lynard Skynerd's Simple man came on the radio and helped me thru the drive.

[genocidal]

While not a very good idea, driving drunk is very fun.

So I went camping last night and I found myself in sort of the same situation you were in, Jerome. The night started by us lighting moonshine on fire in a truck bed (not a very good idea when you're parked over grass), so the cops were watching our campsite carefully. The cops snuck up on us while we were sitting around the campfire drinking. They asked us all our ages and etc and checked what we were drinking. Luckily for me, I had just finished my drink, and it was in a plastic cup and not the original can.

Long story short, everyone there got ticketed for underage possession (everyone was 20) except for me and one other kid who wasn't drinking at the moment. My friends even got hand-cuffed and they threatened them with going to jail. The cops took the alcohol that we had out and asked if we had anymore. There was, in a cooler under seats that fold down. They started shining flashlights in the car looking for detritus, but finding none, they luckily left.

So now all my friends are in the same situation... should they pay the fine or go to court and fight it? I told them just to pay the fine and be done with it, haha.
