What is the HN way to say "touch grass"?

[pessimizer]

Not to say it, but instead to choose to say something both interesting and directly responsive to the comment you're replying to.

Okay, here goes. You can tell when someone is acting in bad faith when they talk about a law that has been in force and enforced since the 1960s is something new.

Of course, "touch grass" works just as well.

Laws can be in existence for decades before they are weaponized against people. It's illegal to have most eBay/Amazon bulbs on your car because they are not DOT approved. If someday they start impounding cars crossing state borders with light bars, fog lights, and LEDs of races they don't want in that state... Someone like you will say "you're just making stuff up, that law has been on effect since 1961."

And do you have statistical evidence to back up your claim of increased enforcement, or are you just reading about it in the Daily Mail?

[DANmode]

Does it?

[Leynos]

Yup
