Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:32 GMT

Los dados de felpa finalmente podrán colgarse libremente en Illinois.A partir del lunes, la policía ya no podrá detener a los conductores únicamente porque tengan algo colgando del espejo retrovisor del parabrisas. Eso significa ambientadores, carteles de estacionamiento y, sí, incluso esos dados son un juego limpio para colgar.La regla revisada sobre parabrisas de Illinois es una de las cientos de nuevas leyes que entrarán en vigencia con el nuevo año en estados de todo Estados Unidos. Si bien algunas pueden parecer un poco vulgares, otras tienen efectos prácticos reales o tocan temas controvertidos como restricciones sobre armas y tratamientos médicos para personas transgénero.Aunque la ley de parabrisas original de Illinois tenía como objetivo mejorar la seguridad vial, algunos llegaron a verla como una excusa para detener a los conductores. La nueva ley todavía prohíbe los objetos que obstruyan la visión del conductor, pero prohíbe a los agentes del orden realizar paradas o regi...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:32 GMT

Patriots left tackle Trent Brown is inactive Sunday against the Bills despite having been removed from the injury report Friday.The Patriots gave Brown a pay bump worth $2 million in added incentives in September with the goal to keep him on the field.

Stueber is set to make his NFL debut if he gets on the field.Here’s the full list of Patriots inactives:S Jabrill PeppersQB Nathan Rourke (emergency third Q...
