notarmed,
I agree, state laws may not hold up, but who has the time to spend fighting it? My opinion is that most would just pay the fine because their time is worth more than being " fcc compliant" with federal regs.
About weed… not a black and white issue. It’s been interesting in California. A customer of mine was busted with a bunch of plants in his home. I asked him if he was going to be ok with the law and he starting to tell me about how his whatever amendment rights were violated and he had a “permit” to grow. He claimed he would get everything back.
then this happened: https://www.google.com/#q=david+randolph+novato+center+fairy
I don’t know if it was going to cost him too much to fight it, or if he had another attorney give a more realistic answer but he no longer grows weed. he made a deal with the county prosecutor to drop the case if he changed his line of work.
If you read the articles, it’s kinda funny even though they cut his face with a bong, but shows you that once an address is known for having drugs or money, it’s a target.
It wasn’t anything exciting. Sorry to get your hopes up lol. The thread was getting back on topic so I deleted it.
[QUOTE=Flying Tomatoes;9321582]So one JHM employee says they have an agreement with you to let people drive and another days “no ones deoven your car.”
State Laws are governed AND enforced by state officials. If you break them, you break the state law and thereby are subject to the state punishment. In general, Federal laws are generally blanket state laws. The difference is state law is mostly geared towards the individual responsibility whereas Federal laws towards individual rights; meaning state law usually supercedes federal law unless your rights are being infringed.
Example:
Federal law says THC is an illegal drug therefore possession is illegal but state law allows use per medicinal and controlled-RESPONSIBLE use. If you are selling/distributing/cultivating for reasons other than medicinal, states or federal enforcement have every right to bust in and shut it down
There is no federal law stating you have to wear a seatbelt but there is state law that says you do; just because there is no federal law doesn’t mean you don’t have to abide to state rules.
TL;DR:
State over Federal with exception to basic rights/due process.

I drove I think 2 customer cars, Dans RS4, and Jay’s S4 in my visits with JHM(including launches demo’d by Dan and pulls). Not sure if they had permission to let people drive them, but it is one of the reasons mileage is noted before and after I take my car to every shop.]
"Ben,
I confirmed with Dan that you did NOT drive any of our customers cars."
And the ensuing attempt to argue the facts afterwards… some people just seem to believe their own lies.
Yeah it was great when Ben was sticking it to Jake saying ‘how would you know, you weren’t even there’ before being reminded Jake was just quoting what Dan had mentioned, as in Dan the one Ben said took him out.
Right. Supremacy Clause of US Constitution controls here. The marijuana laws in Colorado and Washington (while certainly good policy) conflict with federal law and are therefore illegal under federal law. The feds, however, have decided not to use their prosecutorial discretion to go after these laws (at least under this administration). If and when they do, it’s bye-bye to weed legalization in those states.
No, I believe I am correct in regards to the average state law superceding federal law…
“However, the scope of federal preemption is limited because the scope of federal power is not universal. In the dual-sovereign system of American federalism, states are the plenary sovereigns, while the federal sovereign possesses only the limited supreme authority enumerated in the Constitution. Indeed, states may grant their citizens broader rights than the federal Constitution as long as they do not infringe on any federal constitutional rights. Thus, most U.S. law (especially the actual “living law” of contract, tort, property, criminal, and family law experienced by the majority of citizens on a day-to-day basis) consists primarily of state law, which can and does vary greatly from one state to the next.” http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_United_States
I will concede on the federal seat belt law; I seriously thought that was a state law.
A state cannot pass a law saying slavery is now legal. Wikipedia is also a bad way to reference a point, but I am busy watching the Seahawks go to the playoffs.
Hehe, fair enough. I’m watching the Bears/Pack game, rooting for Discount Double Check. I’m just gonna say reference my argument on individual responsibility vs individual rights in regards to State/Fedwral.
PS:
Fuck Russell Wilson! He won’t pass to Zach Miller so I can take the lead in my championship game!
[QUOTE=Fast4DR S6;9323767]If anything we are promoting to the powers to be that a RS6 model (sedan/avant) offering would be welcomed with open arms by our actions.

If I rebadge my Avant as an RS4, I should, in theory, generate more interest among the normal non-enthusiast masses thereby enticing AoA to bring over the RS4 Avant.
PS:
One day I’ll meet both Kiku and DML at a local meet.
