I’ve been following ChipSeal’s blog for a bit. He pushes the envelope pretty seriously, and gotten a lot of police attention for doing it, so it’s not surprising that he’s finally been arrested and jailed for it.

However, this is good for us all. He should be vindicated in court, which sets an informal precedent (to be formal, it needs to come from a higher court) that we’re allowed to be there.
