Exactly how it seems to me as well. The new governor makes me very nervous.

I love how everyone is all over Kasich for this... like none of you have ever gotten a ticket and thought the cop was an idiot, a douche, or whatever. I know I have.

Of course. But I did so privately. Nor am I a public figure, an elected official, or the leader of the state government.

And there is the difference, Kasich can get away with it...but I don't recommend the ordinary citizen try it.

Not in a public forum, not as a public official, and not as a state executive. There's a big difference.

Well, the idiot Kasich has a lot of work to do, and it seems like he is starting to doubt himself. I knew this guy was going to be trouble. Now everyone, even the people who voted for him see it. I really think Ohio is going to be the worst state to live in in four years. It sounds drastic, but this guy is idioticly drastic if you will. I just took a job in Cincinnati, but I regret it at days. I was almost ready to move back to Pennsylvania. Might just do that someday though, because there is no doubt it is going to get worse in Ohio.

I'm still shocked that this man got elected... I firmly believe he'll be out in four years. But the damage he's going to cause will be immense.

Yup, I look forward to years of NOT hearing from the absolute morons in this forum that thought electing him was a good idea.

If you got pulled over, odds are very good you were pulled over for a reason by someone that's just doing their job. I've been pulled over *numerous* times in 4 states during my long driving career, and have only walked away from ONE of those instances saying "That guy was a jerk", because he was. The other dozen+ times, I walked away saying "Crap, I can't believe I got busted... at least he was nice about it. He's just doing his job ". The one time I was put off, it was clear he was having a bad day and was taking it out on me. But I told it to my lawyer, I didn't go in front of a public crowd and berate him. And even if I did, I wasn't berating one of my own state employees. The governor's job is to instill faith in public institutions and the state of Ohio. You don't do that by going around badmouthing one of our most valuable assets (those who maintain law and order and protect us).
