QuoteI'm from the mother fuckin motor city and have never heard of it being a requirement to have a front plate.  that seems kinda retarded to be honest.   what purpose does it serve other than making the tax payer shell out more cash?    

Cops are boners who in most cases didn't even go to college.  Fuck the police.  There are too many police.

You should have asked the cop if he calibrated his radar gun before pulling you over.  I'm getting pissed just thinking about law enforcement, fuck that shit.   sucks paulie, you should have fought him.  

Sticky - the fucker had already reeled off the name and make of his radar gun, and the date that it had last passed it's inspection check, before I'd even had chance to speak!

I would have loved to have fought him. I've been learning Jujitsu now for 18 months and I'm sure I could have taken him!  ;D Imagine passing him out with some sick ninja strangle and leaving him unconscious on the side of the road!!

I guess cops are the same everywhere. My wife was in the car late at night with her sister and female cousin. A cop pulled them over and said in his condescending way, "Good evening girls - and where have we been tonight?" My sister-in-law, who was driving, said, "Well we've been to the pub, but I've no idea what you've been doing!"

FUCK THA POLICE INDEED!

Speaking of getting pulled over in cars, I always wonder how the fuzz will treat me when I'm driving the Firebird.  It definitely stands out, and I almost never wear my seatbelt in it and I have no front plates (it looks cooler without them).  The plates thing worries me the most.  I've been pulled over once for not having the front one.  I think most cops may not know the rules.  The cop that pulled me over said that they're required in all vehicles after, I believe, 1949 (though I never checked this).  That, and I'm a fairly young guy (27), so I wonder if the cops think I'm out looking for trouble and drinking and driving.  I wonder if I were older if they would tend to cut me more slack.  Although I've only been pulled over in it once, so this really should be no concern, but I always worry about it.  Probably just my own paranoia.  Should be fine as long as I'm not drinking and driving  :-X

When I was living out there and got Iowa plates, I ask the lady why she gave me 2 and she says one is for the front of the car. I gave her the "are you shittin me??" look and she says state requires it on the front and back. I ask her how Im supposed to attach it to the front and she says I need to buy some kind of attachment thing. Needless to say, I never have a plate on the front of my car and thankfully I never got pulled over for it.

NH requires front plates, too.  But, no helmet law and no adult seatbelt law.

I too hate the fucking police.  I have been ticketed TWICE for non-moving violations.  Once, the cop pulled me over to tell me my tags were expired.  When I pointed out to him that I had 14 days after the month they expired in to get them changed (which it was still within the 14 day grace period) the prick then proceeded to say that my liscence plate frame was covering my tags and he had to write me a fucking ticket for that?!

And then, speaking of front liscense plates, Ohio too requires the damn useless things?!  And Ohio also has no helmet law although we do at least have a seatbelt law.  Anywho, my front plate was a Land Rover dealer down in Georgia that sold refurbished old Range Rover Classics where I bought my truck and it was a green plate that reminded me of Vermont tags.  I thought it looked cooler than our stupid Ohio tags so I never switched it out.  Needless to say, after having it that way for nearly 4 years, some pig finally decided to be a prick and he pulled me over.  When I told him the tag was in the back of my truck, I thought the least he could do was give me a warning and tell me to put the tag on.  But no!  The prick writes me a ticket for over $130!!  I was so freaking pissed?!  So, I included a note with my check I sent in stating to enjoy my contribution to the Medina PD Crispy Creme fund!

One last thing.  I've got my 3 girls trained pretty well when it comes to pigs.  Whenever they see a cop car go by with sirens blazing, they always say, "Must be down to their last doughnut at the Mini Mart right daddy?" ;D  I get a chuckle everytime I hear them say that!   :)

A seatbelt saved my life

Only idiots with a death wish don't wear seatbelts. And if you don't make your passengers (kids, family etc...) wear one, then you deserve to be fined or jailed.

I hope no one here thinks I endorse NH's bullshit, hands-off attitude.  No sales tax, no income tax, no helmet law, no seatbelt law equals inadequate funding for schools and other services and lots of unnecessary death and injury.  I don't need a law to do what's right, but apparently some fucknuts do.  I imagine just about everyone in NH gets to see brains on pavement at least once in their lives.  That and a moose.

Just about to hit the sack when I saw this... I worked in a healthfood store for 5 years, and any muscle twitchiness issues seem to resolve themselves with magnesium caps or tablets (or powdered in packets...) B-12 can't hurt ya at all, and most people are generally lacking it (and magnesium). So don't be too noivous about taking some of either or both. Sometimes a warm damp towel over the eye helps even if only temporarily. Or an eye patch and preferably a parrot on one shoulder.

Eye twitches suck, hope it stops soon for ya  [smiley=rolleyes.gif]

FUCK THA POLICE INDEED!

I'm not sure if it's still true or not but I've heard that a good way to get around the police trying to get you to give up your right to remain silent is to answer their question with another question.  

For instance, Your sister-in-law had absolutely no obligation to tell the cop she was at a pub.  However, the cop tricked her.  If I ever get pulled over and they ask me where I've been I'm going to respond something like "what seems to be the problem officer".  Then ask you why you personally think you were pulled over.  NEVER answer this, always play dumb for the most part.  Otherwise all you do is isn't incriminate yourself.  "was I speeding?" BAM! fucked.  

They work for the prosecution and getting those lawyers people to prosecute is how they make a living.  They were created by our government to fuck us and make money off crime.  Safety is the scape coat reason.  Isn't that the old saying, once you give up your freedom for safety your basically fucked?  Whenever cops pull me over or a friend over when I'm in the car I get the fucking shakes like  no other.  Police terrify me.

waste of tax dollars jailing people who don't wear a seat belt.  a fine seems reasonable in dangerous driving scenarios.  

wearing a seat belt has proven to give drivers more confidence and in turn drive faster.  which also makes their driving much less safe.  The issue is touchy at best.

I personally believe that those who choose to NOT wear a seatbelt or wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle have a level of unrealistic confidence.

Here are some solid statistics on seatbelt use for 2008:

Here's an impressive video simulating what happens when one of a group chooses to go unbelted.

I always wear my seatbelt. It's not hard to do. But I don't think you should get jailed...that happens? Coming home for a Twins game we hit black ice going 70, spun, and went straight into the ditch. I just unbuckled my seatbelt to adjust it. But kinda froze and hung on tight. Very lucky. I encourage everyone to buckle up.

Even you, Sticky   :-*

I wear seat belt, especially when I drive drunk.

I feel the need to address this anti-police sentiment.  My brother was a cop.  I worked with many local law enforcement when I was assistant principal of a high school.  Most are good people.  Many are assholes, magnified by a certain amount of power derived from their job, their gun, their uniform.  But most are good people.

Imagine a society without police.  I mean, seriously, try to picture it.  Its not a place where I would want to live, to raise my family, to feel safe.  

Like all of our society, it is flawed.  We may never fix that as long as humans are involved.  For we are flawed.  Good people make bad choices.  Bad people occasionally do good.  Laws are meant to fill in the gaps where common sense fails to act.  

I long to realize the utopian lyrics from "Wonderful (The Way I Feel)":

I'm going where there ain't no disease
I'm going where there ain't no police
I'm going where there ain't no need
To escape from what is, only spirits at ease

It would be nice if we didn't need some sort of public safety system in place, but that would depend upon a society where kindness and common sense are the norm.  I don't think that currently exists.

I could care less if idiot drivers purposely choose not to wear seatbelts and they end up getting themselves killed. But I think those same fools should be held liable if they don't try to ensure their passengers' safety. Also, drunk drivers and speeders that cause road fatalities should be jailed for fucking life, but more times than not, they get off with little more than a slap on the wrist.

Seatbelts make people more confident? Confident or feeling more safe? Helmets and shoulder-pads make athletes more aggressive, but serious injuries are minimal considering the amount of times impact occurs. And where'd you get your stats from? Airbags and seatbelts save lives; there's always going to be morons behind the wheel no matter what.

all I'm saying is an airbag can kill a baby and that's straight up unsafe.  I retrieved the stat from an ancient archive of information locked within my brain.   Pedestrian deaths increased after the seat belt law went into effect.  Not sure how relevant that is now considering generations have been brought up on seat belts now.  

I've said it once and I'll say it again I don't wear a seat belt because I love ghost ridin' the whip.  If there is an opportunity to do it while I'm driving I do it.  not wearing a seat belt is the best way to be ready to ride the whip in the most pure form.  fyi.
