California state Sen. Scott Wiener‚ a Democrat‚ has proposed a bill that would‚ in part‚ require that vehicles manufactured or sold in the Golden State block the driver from going more than 10 miles per hour above the speed limit."Commencing with the 2027 model year‚ every passenger vehicle‚ motortruck‚ and bus manufactured or sold in the state shall be equipped with an intelligent speed limiter system‚" the measure states. "An intelligent speed limiter system required by this section shall operate passively and shall only be capable of being temporarily disabled by the driver of the vehicle."The vehicle's GPS location data could be utilized in conjunction with a speed limit database in determining the top speed the vehicle would be able to travel."As used in this article‚ 'intelligent speed limiter system' means an integrated vehicle system that uses‚ at minimum‚ the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits‚ to determine the speed limit‚ and electronically limits the speed of the vehicle to prevent the driver from exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour‚" the measure notes.The mandate for the speed-limiting tech would not apply to emergency vehicles. "The alarming surge in road deaths is unbearable and demands an urgent response‚" Wiener said‚ according to a press release. "There is no reason for anyone to be going over 100 miles per hour on a public road‚ yet in 2020‚ California Highway Patrol issued over 3‚000 tickets for just that offense. Preventing reckless speeding is a commonsense approach to prevent these utterly needless and heartbreaking crashes." — (@) Like Blaze News?

St. Louis police said 37-year-old Joshua Noe and 35-year-old Marquise Porter-Doyle rushed into a Starbucks on Dec. 17 with what looked like real handguns and demanded the employees hand over cash in the register.

Porter-Doyle was able to escape‚ but police caught up with him later and arrested him. The two alleged robbers are facing a combined 20 felony charges for robbery‚ attempted robbery‚ and assault Instead of thanking the two employees‚ the company fired them.An attorney for the former barista Michael Harris says they are filing a lawsuit against Starbucks‚ according to the St. Louis Riverfront Times. The other fired barista was Devin Jones-Ransom. "Michael and Devin were promptly fired by the company without any explanation as to what‚ if any policy they violated‚ or what they should have done differently about the situation‚" said attorney Ryan Krupp. "Harris complied with the robbers' demands until it was no longer an option for himself and others‚" he explained. Krupp says that Harris acted out of fear that he might be killed. “I just wanted to do the right thing as a person and as an employee‚" said Harris in a statement. A representative for Starbucks released a statement about the lawsuit. "The safety and wellbeing of our partners (employees) and customers is always our first concern‚" the statement read.
