Peter Thiel is driving with his friends far more aggressively than necessary like a racetrack.
His driving eventually attracts the attention of the California Highway Patrol, and he is pulled over.
When the officer asks if he knows how fast he was going, the others in the car feel a mix of relief and anxiety, glad the reckless driving has stopped but nervous about the consequences. Thiel, however, remains completely calm and composed.
Instead of answering directly, he questions the very idea of speed limits, suggesting they might not make sense as a concept.
He goes further, framing speed limits as a potential violation of personal freedom and even hinting that they could be unconstitutional.
The officer is left silent.
