Yeah, that all sounds like bullshit.

I recently found out in some Native American areas of the USA you aren't even required to pull over or anything if you're not literally in the tribe.

That seems... insane. Like you're gonna drive through the equivalent of a township or county, speed (or worse) and just go fuck you, call the state police?

People are really rude, they misunderstand on purpose, then they cry that the world is chaotic.

Until very recently, they couldn't even arrest you for rape on the reservation if you weren't a member of the tribe... only the FBI had jurisdiction and it often wasn't a big enough fish to fry for them to bother.

I know. I was avoiding specifics.
