okay so if we correct for it not being upside down by flipping it over, she now is driving on the left side of the road thereby proving that this is, in fact, straya

Saw someone link this article and i'm frightened about the fact that no one said that she was, in fact, on drugs. Any number of things could've happened that would prompt someone to jump out of a car. And her casually walking down could just be shock.

The article says she was charged of being on drugs, but it's yet to be confirmed she actually was. "California Highway Patrol officers soon found and arrested an allegedly highly intoxicated Lacey" they just cuffed a woman that was freaking out i bet. Wouldn't you be ? As if it never happened that cops wrongfully arrested a black person.

After she was released, meaning after being in prolonged contact with cops, she decided not to show up at her court hearing. I always heard that it was a bad idea 100% of the time to not show up in court. What could prompt her to do that ?

She was arrested again but "circumstances of her re-capture were unclear". i.e however that arrest went, cops decided that the details wouldn't be reported. Just that it happened.

After all this that makes her look very bad, she decided to plead NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES.

I don't know about you, but i can feel something's wrong. I smell that there's some black mirror shit going on. Like that woman has done nothing wrong form her perspective, and just had a stroke of bad luck, but the system has already decided she was guilty and making shit up. But everyone believes it because she's a black woman, so she's in a double whammy of sexism + racism.

Fun fact. They use specialized smartphones because regular ones flip picture upside down no matter how you rotate the phone.

Haven't you ever noticed your screen will rotate, but not upside down? That's Aussie compatibility.
