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 Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:51:28 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.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California law that bans people from carrying firearms in most public places will take effect on New Year’s Day, even as a court case continues to challenge the law.A U.S. district judge issued a ruling Dec. 20 to block the law from taking effect, saying it violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and deprives people of their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones.But on Saturday, a federal appeals court put a temporary hold on the district judge’s ruling.
