And I say again, if they had substituted "African Americans" for "New Yorkers", would anyone believe they weren't intending to target African Americans?

True, there would be outrage. However, "New Yorkers" are not a protected class, and it would be harder to bring litigation on Equal Protection grounds.

It wouldn't be impossible, but it would be difficult. We'd need to show instances in which folks from, say, Georgia were intentionally allowed to speed, but in which New Yorkers received tickets every time.

In practical terms, this is just glorified nose-thumbing, and I sincerely doubt law enforcement would implement it even if asked.

I don't know. Has anyone here actually driven in Tennessee? It's impossible to speed because everyone drives 5 mph below the speed limit in the passing lanes.
 
I like it, New Yorkers are already taxed heavily, tax them a little more for driving through the state of TN :)

I really do hope that officers pull people over, even the "5 over" crowd. People will get ****** but they can't deny they were speeding, and a seldom few will make the trip back for the court date. I've always thought out of state travelers were easy targets, but coming out and stating it is pretty bold.
 
After further thought, i believe the lady arrested was in the wrong and should take whatever her penalty is in NYC (not your city) and deal with it. I do think she should petition to have the felony removed from her record after her sentence/fine/penalty has been served/paid. However, i also think that the authorities in TN should go FAR out of their way to PUBLICLY accomodate her in any way possible that might allow her to continue to carry and own firearms in TN (if that is remotely possible). It also wouldn't hurt my feelings if TN decided not to honor any NY permits or LEO badges as a legal permit to carry from the NYC metro area specifically (however few there may be, permits that is; i hear they have plenty of LEO's).

It is too bad that TN didn't think to immediately claim her as a unpaid "reserve" deputy, as it is my understanding that LEO's are exempted from the NYC bans.

I also think that each and every one of us should make every effort to avoid visiting NYC, avoid buying branded NYC products (I heart NY shirts, etc.), avoid doing any business with any NYC-based businesses, perhaps avoid eating large apples ;) , and generally do whatever we can to protest the firearms laws of NYC and other such places like Chicago. Personally, i have zero desire to visit either Chicago or NYC, but from now on, i will be certain to blame it on their moronic firearms laws whenever possible. TN's state purchasing agents should make a concerted and very public effort to avoid buying products tainted by NYC for state/public use.

I am often tempted by the job openings i see posted for locations in CA, but i just couldn't give up my rights to be there.

Warnings have been posted. They continue to go unheeded, which is enough to get this thread locked.

Folks, if you can't write what you want, without encountering the "Bad Language Filter," or, you continue to denigrate an entire State/City/etc., then you should stay out of the discussions in this section of TFL.

The indiscriminate use of invectives such as Demon-crat or Repugnican, or otherwise twisting personal or group names, necessarily embodies negative emotional content. Such content leads to emotional arguments wherein rational, logical thinking goes out the window. This is what our opposition does. We must take the High Road, at all times. Therefore, If you cannot use the proper terms/labels for what you are discussing, then don't bother posting at all.
