I said nothing about driving unchecked cars. I fully support street-legal vehicles.
However: “on public highways”??? Last time I checked, the Black Rock Desert was not a “public highway” in any sense of the term.
The greater point is: These cops are engaging in political repression of uninvolved people based on the outcome of a lawsuit between BLM/Pershing County and BMORG. Most years the cops are really cool. This year, they’re apparently trying to “get” people on any little thing they can… just to fuck with them.
YMMV
