    Tools in the toolbox. You’ll often hear about police saying they need more tools in the toolbox. What it means is they want to be able to enforce laws against somebody they don’t like selectively.

    If you enforce the speed limit religiously, especially around State capitals, the speed limits would rapidly change.
