zero tolerance

Texas has signs on the highway that say “OBEY WARNING SIGNS. STATE LAW.” So if you were to disobey a sign that says “DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE” you’d actually be breaking two laws at once, first by texting and driving and also second by disobeying the sign that says don’t text and drive. But wait! Don’t forget you’re also disobeying the first sign, the one that told you to obey warning signs. Well. There you are. Simultaneously committing three Texas crimes. Under current mandatory sentencing guidelines and Texas’ strict three strikes policy, you’re looking at death by lethal injection. Minimum.
