      Texting while driving

      Just saw this on Fox texting death: 20-year old Arrested in Texting While Driving Death of Elderly Pedestrian - KSWB They were arguing if this should be a felony or misdemeanor (sp). Looks like she's facing up to 6 years. Too me, that seems way too short. This texting thing has gotten out of...

      Traffic Stop S.O.P. - Check gun for stolen?

      I was stopped in Evansville this week for speeding. Before the long ordeal ended, the officer ran my pistol to see if it was stolen. He said it kept coming back with hits on it but he didn't think that it was. Long story short he let me go. Is it normal to have your gun checked during a routine...

      New Signs Coming To Your Town Whether You Like It Or Not

      Yep. Your tax dollars are going to working overtime, if not raised. Seems like Big Daddy Obama's highway admin is going to force everyone to replace their street signs if they're all caps. In my town, that'll mean virtually every street sign, since I don't recall ever seeing any that aren't all...

      Traffic stops?

      Was wondering what others do when stopped for a traffic violation and have a weapon in the vehicle. My question is do you inform the officer that you have a weapon or wait for them to ask?:dunno:

      West Memphis Police Now Using AR's on Traffic Stops

      Seriously?? You pull someone over for a burned out tail light and the first thing that happens is your partner whips out the AR and points it at them? This is not going to end well. I can understand that a fellow officer got shot by a criminal with an AK, but that's no reason to go pointing AR's...

      Pulled over... AGAIN -_-

      When we last left our hero... So I got pulled over again today, 465 southbound, around mile 44.6 or so. This guy? I was waiting for my ticket for 30 minutes. He walks to the window, I pull out my license and registration, he sees my gun on the passenger seat... "You got a gun in your...

      Watch that speed, they are trying to generate higher revenues again

      I received this email today from a co-worker. :suspect: The email is edited by me to take out personal info as well as add my conjecture (in red). I foresee some legal issues with this. I was always under the impression that unmarked police vehicles will not pull anyone over because of...

      Canadian drivers have no rights and no freedom

      The laws in the Canadian province of Newfoundland resemble that of a Police State. Their Law Enforcers need no reason to stop drivers. The legal limit for alcohol is now 0.00 BAC. It is illegal to text message, talk on a cell phone, or even think about using an electronic device. Its pretty...

      Should We Abolish Drunk Driving Laws?

      Radley Balko says we'd be well served by doing so and makes the point rather well. If we allow cops to focus on impairment, rather than arbitrary numbers we'd likely see a drop in lives lost and actual dollar costs. We'd also see things like rights abusing check points disappear and that strikes...

      Crazy and lame excuses to cops

      What are some of the crazy and lame excuses you have ever given a cop when you were pulled over for speeding? If you a cop what are some of the crazy and lame excuses you have heard? This will be funny :laugh:

      Police boost use of unmarked cars to target speeders

      Police boost use of unmarked cars to target speeders - USATODAY.com So if speeding contributed to (not caused) 31% of all traffic fatalities, that means speeders are at least 69% safer than those who drive the speed limit. Why are they targeting speeders? Oh I know

      Speed Limits: Do they make you feel safe?

      Do speed limit laws make you feel safe? Or are they just a revenue generator? Rambone reports, you decide.

      Plain-clothed cop pulls gun on speeding motorcyclist [VIDEO]

      A guy on a motorcycle has a camera on his helmet. He is recording himself speeding. Yahoo. The guy pulls up to a stopped line of traffic. Without warning [lights, sirens], an unmarked car pulls up next to him and a guy jumps out and pulls his gun. Just fast-forward to 3:00 to see the...

      Do you have to pull over?

      For non emergency vehicles, do you have to pullover when you see them coming? Such As, a volunteer fire fighter. He gets called, and he's breaking the speed limit to arrive on time. Some have the blue bubble on their personal vehicle, others just have strobe lights. So, legally, do you have to...

      Senators Looking To Make States Raise Drivers License Age

      In yet another attempt to further degrade the 10th Amendment, a trio of senators are proposing to raise the age at which a person can obtain a drivers license to 18. They'd only be able to get a restricted permit at 16, rather than a license. It's bad enough that one must have permission to...

      Hagerstown man's protest with pennies peters out

      More at the source. An interesting side note to this, and unmentioned in the article, is that Susan Bell is an elected Libertarian judge. Notice that she did not forbid him from paying in pennies, she politely asked him to not pay that way as to be kind to her clerk. Her husband, Rex Bell is...

      Looking Guilty Upheld In Ohio

      Guess Ohio cops can retire those radar guns and video now. A guesstimate is good enough to convict. Wonder how else they'll apply this? That slippery slope does exist. via Dayton Daily News

      How fast do you drive on the freeway?

      I tend to cruise between 70 and 75. *Thread inspired by "Whats the point?" in General Political

      What's the point?

      I just drove through Indy. Is anyone at all aware that the speed limit on I-70 going through downtown is 55 (in one place 50)? I habitually set my cruise control equal to the speed limit, and apparently this has the effect of royally pissing off Indiana drivers. Not a single car, truck, or...
