People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

You are required to obtain a new driver's license within 30 days of moving to Washington.

I would also expect an officer of the law to abide by stricter standards as well, in this case I would assume obtaining a new license would be a requirement for employment (i.e. they can't start until they've applied for a WA state license). How can they be expected to enforce the traffic laws for a state they don't even have a driving license for? That's a pretty reasonable, basic standard IMO.

I also think police officers should also be required to take, if not maintain, a commercial driving license test for their state. As a lay citizen, I see a lot of violations that seem to be improperly enforced, and I'm guessing a lot of truckers also get pulled over for total BS. I think professional drivers like police officers and truck drivers should be held to a higher standard because they're expected to operate vehicles in a much more dangerous way than regular drivers.
