It’s the 4th of July! Happy independence day guys!  If you’re like most Michiganians, you’re planning to spend today with friends and loved ones, grilling, swimming, and enjoying the sunshine (because boy oh boy we’ve had a lot of rain lately!) And later on tonight? Well, it’s fireworks time, obviously! And everyone (except certain furry […]

Nothing seems to inflame the masses more than the fall of the high and mighty. When regular folks break the law or make mistakes, people just shake their heads.

The issue of legalized marijuana, whether specifically for medicinal purposes, or generally for recreation, has been a controversial subject for decades. Ever since Colorado took that first step towards decriminalizing pot, states have been stepping up to the plate and changing their laws to accommodate people’s desire for less regulated weed.

Hey there! Welcome back. We’ve been having a good chuckle about the crazy laws still on the books in Michigan (and there are quite a few!). If you’re just stumbling onto this now, we recommend you spend a few minutes and get all caught up on some of the hilarious (or just plain odd) laws […]

If you read the news, then you probably heard about the cussing law that the Michigan legislature repealed in 2015. It said you couldn’t swear in front of women and children or you could end up in jail. That was the same year then-Governor Snyder signed off on the bill package that did away with […]

Welcome back to our discussion about leaving the scene of a crash in Michigan, and why it can get you into a lot of trouble. In the previous article we looked at why people would choose to leave a car crash without notifying the cops, and what the law says you’re supposed to do in […]

People involved in car crashes here in Michigan tend to go through a series of emotional responses that are pretty standard – shock, fear, and anger being the most common.
