Conversely, if someone is asking an _opinion-based_ question about the law (“What would you do if you were pulled over for speeding?”), then it belongs in IMHO, and people can post about how pissed they were to be pulled over.

Assuming this wasn’t a simple typo (which it very well may have been), why would that be a GD? I’d imagine a GD to be something more along the lines of “Should speeding be illegal?”

Don’t mind me, I don’t set foot in GD much.
