Judge Says You Can Warn Others About Speed Traps

cartechboy writes "Speeding is against the law, and yes, even going 5 mph over the speed limit is breaking the law. But everyone does it, right? What about when you see a cop? Some cops are ticketing people for notifying fellow motorists about speed traps. In Florida, Ryan Kintner simply flashed his high-beams to warning oncoming cars that there was a cop ahead. He was given a ticket for doing so. He went to court to fight the ticket, and a judge ruled that flashing lights are the equivalent of free speech, thus he had every right to flash his lights to warn oncoming cars."

We must absolutely do something to disincentivize wealth hoarding; these people are mentally ill to believe it's ok to hoard such vast amounts of money. One simple solution is to institute a tiered tax system that's relative to the national poverty level, for example:

100% poverty level = 0%.
1000% poverty level = 20%.
10000% poverty level = 30%
100000% poverty level = 40%
1000000% poverty level = 75%
10000000% poverty level = 85%
100000000% poverty level = 95%
1000000000% poverty level = 99%
