And about the different countries having different laws, of course that will be an issue, but, I'm sure, especially as we go on, that there will be more and more members from other countries that are well versed in their local laws.
Things like copyright law don't change from country to country, at least the ones that are signatories of the berne convention. And your specific example isn't a good example, as there is no set number over the speed limit that a cop will pull you over. A cop will pull you over if they feel like it and you have broken the law. It's officer discretion. Me personally, I never (when working patrol) pulled anyone over for going less than 10mph over the limit unless in a school/residential area, at which point you had 3 mph leeway. I also didn't write unless it was 20 over, unless school/residential area, at which time it was a ticket if I pulled you over ;)
And so long as people wait at least 24 hours I'm sure someone could get into the thread to refute whatever dumb thing was said lol.
Haha yeah, I know it was a bad example. I was having a brain lapse when I was trying to type.
I have another one... apparently it is legal to have a certain amount of weed on you in the ACT (state) but anywhere else in the country. I have no idea if this is true or not.
But yeah, I'm behind the idea.
