Yeh. You never did that Mayor lmao.
What a bizarre claim to make. Does he actually think that's how honest people start their day?
He doesn't have a clue what honest people do. He's like Vance buying doughnuts for the first time in his life. "Follow the law, I guess, or whatever makes sense."
How long have you been following the law?
OK.
How about you, how long have you been following the law?
"I don't want to be recorded."
Totally normal thing to do. Like when my boss accused me of showing up to work drunk, I told him, "I start every morning telling my people 'hey, I'm going to work not drunk today'"
That would be like me at a house party saying "Hey man, great party! Lots of people here, great selection of booze, I didn't shit in the closet, and are those cocktail weinee's???"
One of those things shouldn't need to be said.....
Or back on the Other Site /r/legaladvice. When a post started out with "just for the record, I'm not a pedophile", you knew it was gonna be good popcorn.
It's... Hey sir (I use that term lightly) this isn't a thing you should have to tell people you shouldn't give off the vibe or hire people who wouldn't.
You never had morning meetings at your retail job where the pep talk was "Let's get out there and do our best, and whatever you do, guys, remember not to violate the law today"?
