Do not address me so condescendingly to justify your crime.Asday said:
Displaying a weapon can be considered a threat. So if you came out of the car with a bat that person is within their rights to defend themselves. Having weapons in the car depends completely on local laws. In my area for example you must have any weapons visible unless you have a special license to conceal weapons (like me!) or you can get a hefty ticket/fine.Goldeneye1989 said:
That depends on the local laws for concealed weapons. Around here you could get in trouble unless the hand and a half sword was in a case. The blood would make me very suspicious; pretty good chance I?d be having you either sit in my car or at the station while I confirm you story. (And check to see if there are any stabbing/disemboweling deaths reported) You might also end up on a watch list if I let you go. As in; if anyone gets stabbed with a big ass blade in the next month or so we?ll call you.Numbnuts3 said:
Like national famous? I don?t believe so.. although, we did get those guys who escaped from an Indiana prison yesterday. They?re dicks.MRMIdAS2k said:
I've wondered this for a while, but if someone was doing "extreme" driving, you know, like drifting, 180's, all that stuff, on the road and they were obeying all traffic laws and staying in their lane and everything, could the cops pull them over and give them a ticket?ace_of_something said:
That would be 'willful wreckless driving' probably a misdemenor no jail time. I'd probably clap and applaud him for impressing me by being able to do all that and still not break any laws.newguy77 said:
They do!? You have a weird city/county. We've never run speed traps in rush hour. Right before or after yes. Cuz that's a much more likely time for people to be speeding. Statisitcally anyway. Usually people you see pulled over in rush hour are more for wreckless things like doing a Kansas City Sweep (changing across 4 lanes all at once).paypuh said:
It's usually only middle aged middle classed white folks that say that. Something about that phrase has always 'grinded' me wrong though. I must prefer a simple 'hello sir'. It is better than 'why the fuck did you pick me!?' that some people give. Such rudeness does not go over well for them usually.Guitar Gamer said:
Yes, my city is strange. The cops here call for back up to write a speeding ticket. Talk about a waste of taxpayer money. And they also run speed traps at the bottom of a huge hill with a 30mph speed limit. Even if I ride my brakes, I'm still going 10mph over the limit. It's frustrating.ace_of_something said:
Actually the quota thing is an urban myth. No department has such a thing as that would break union contracts. Sounds like the cops in your area must have a lot of accidents or speeding to deal with as they usually go toward problem areas with that kind of gusto. The end of the month thing is probably just when they do schedualed sweeps. Like when on a certain day of the month they post extra men in a problem neighborhood except it's on the streets you drive on.paypuh said:
I know I am probably a bias source, especially since I spent a good amount of my teenage years antagonizing the police, but I could tell you stories for days about the corruption that went on with in the Eden Prairie PD about 6 years ago. Well...at least before the new police chief took over. He seems like he knows his shit (for $120k/yr, he better). The speed trap stuff isn't as big of a problem as it once was, and neither is the fraudulent use of pro sports players' credit cards. hahaace_of_something said:
