The logic is fine, you can get a speeding ticket going 5 over. I promise going 5 over isn't gonna be the difference of life or death it's all arguing over what ifs I could careless lol. A good judge is a judge that makes judgements based on scenario instead of looking at a book to decide outcome.
Unclear laws are just a way to punish an out group while excusing an in group. Either it’s ok to go 5 mph over the speed limit in a school zone where you could potentially kill a child or it’s against the law in order to reduce the number of children killed by people speeding in school zones. If you want to allow wiggle room for things that are hard to codify into law, then at least reserve it for extremes. I’d be much more understanding if someone was going over the speed limit trying to get to the ER in time before someone bled out or something. This is just an old man seeing someone who looks like him and giving him a pass just because we tend to like people who are similar to us. It’s definitely not praise-worthy or a sign of a good judge. A good judge does everything possible to minimize their bias.

dude was charged in a school zone, means he was going like 10 mph in a 5 mph zone, so..... don't
