  • Terry v. Ohio is the reference here. Unless there is articulable suspicion that a crime is afoot, the detention is, by definition, illegal. Driving while brown (or existing while brown) does not qualify as articulable suspicion of a crime. Therefore, this is an illegal detention - otherwise known as kidnapping. Defending yourself against kidnapping is an understandable position one might take. It might be unwise however, given the criminal justice system is overwhelmingly stacked in favor of law enforcement. That is a personal choice we are free to make so long as we understand the likely consequences of our actions.



















  • I banished Windows from my life a long time ago. My quality of life improved shortly thereafter. I had reached rock bottom after spending a day trying to unbugger my mother in law’s computer. It felt like waking up after a long bender in a pile of my own sick. She caused the pain herself because Windows invited it without guardrails - yet somehow I was holding the bag. I’m Windows-clean now and no longer offer to try (or agree) to help. I know the personal risks. I support you if you’re still enraptured by the Windows range and despair. I get it. Getting clean isn’t easy. Gather the strength.
