      Is that hypothetical or are you saying that right now, people are being denied us citizenship if they have a speeding ticket? Cause I was pretty sure anything minor like that pretty much wouldn’t count, not sure if things have changed

    Once established it’s simply a matter of extending the list of crimes to encompass whomever they want

        Jaywalking is a fake crime made up by car company lobbies to criminalize anything being on the road that isn’t a car.

        Bitch ass car peddlers trying to criminalize my natural way of moving…

      The plans, hatched by Sweden’s rightwing government with support of its far-right backers, made waves around the world.

      This one’s a European homebrew.
