One of the main portal of entries is through the eyes, so wearing safety glasses would be the better requirement, since they are impermeable and proven to be effective at preventing. This is baseless authoritarian bullshit. ---

The cops in Mi are def enforcing the rules. A guy a work with got a $1000 ticket like an idiot. I finished rebuilding the rear end in the truck and took it for a spin around the block at about 1am. I saw lights coming up behind me way too fast so I killed the lights and dipped behind my garage, cop car lighting up my my neighbors house. I don’t see how any of this is constitutional. I have no doubt the cop would have tried to give me a ticket. The two nights ago I was in my driveway and a cop pulled up and started questioning me why I was working on my trailer. I asked him to leave my property. ---
