When i passed her, she had her head in her hands, crying. I told the officer what she had done, and he advised me that she would be "taken care of." what causes people to take lives into their hands like this? Magickman

The cop pulled up next to us a the light in the right hand turn lane. I glanced over and saw that she had run our plates on her computer. Not sure whether it was the Nevada plates or the obeying the law that looked suspicios to her.

Obeying the law.
Hmmm. Whose law? Americas, Canadas, Hungarys, Englands. They are all different.

Even in the U.S. they contradict state by state.

Now the argument may be brought up that the one that goes by the Bible.
Are you versed in Biblical Law enough to make that discernment...can you be in a beit din (rabbinical court). Of course your Christian so you will argue the spirit will lead you to understand how the laws align.

But I think this is going to deep already.
Lets back up and look at the surface level.
You seemed proud to just obey the law on suface value regardless of how it relates or doesnt relate to the Bible (as pointed out law is riddled of contradicions) Is this bad. No, its what is needed for you at this time.
On a grander scale, does this benefit in anyway...truly? The fact you went the speed limit.
consider this, your speedometer may be wrong, and you may inadvertently broke the law.
The Christian then brakes in and says that it is covered by grace because not it is by the heart that counts...not the "letter of the law"
What Im trying to do, is to catch arguments you will perhaps bring up, before you do, and summarize here the best I can this:
do you see the potential faliblity in this line of thinking.
It appears that at best, it strokes the ego. Yes, your intent is true, I do not doubt.
But when we get lost in the small things of life, we waste life, and spend time trying to separate ourselves from others by "acts of righteousness"
Does this mean do what you will. YOu can, and you may pay the cost for speeding.
This is not the point. This post uses words, and for sure, this post, you will have to look past the words and feel the "spirit" as it guides you to what is being said.
Peace
