What a ridiculous law, that’s honestly like not being able to feed a starving baby! Animals are on this planet the same as us, smarter does not mean worthy!
Where I live, my town the cops are more hard asses cause we are tiny and nothing happens so they act like anything is something (I had a seizure, I’m epileptic, they tried to interrogate me while seizing as my parents were there saying “she’s epileptic” but every other town in the area the cops are super laid back and nice)
@@Catherine.Dorian.similar thing happened to an old coworker. He was up at bike week in NH and had a seizure. Now it may have been drug induced, but he swears it wasn't. Anyway, the cops come, and he wakes up in the hospital with multiple lacerations, two black eyes, and bruised ribs. The report said he od'd and resisted, despite, and was unconscious when they took him to the hospital...where they gave him his seizure meds.
Unfortunately when the law says you're allowed to do what's reasonable or forbidden from doing what's not reasonable, the definition of "reasonable" is "whatever a jury thinks."
I thank god every day I don't come from a jury system country. People just don't have that much reasoning skills, peers or otherwise,... and then there's the problem of idiotic peers that think "couldn't be me."
It grants flexibility for a jury to consider the circumstances beyond a black and white law. It provides for the fact that in the heat of a moment you don't have time to consider the nuance of how a self defence law was written. To me it's perfectly sane. The police arrest does not mean guilty, it's for the purposes of investigation of the circumstances so it can be determined if it's a reasonable or disproportionate response
@@infidellic Doesn't need a jury for that. Any judge should be able to do it, and they often do. (And they certainly aren't worse than jurors, unless you're from a place that politicises them by making them run for a public vote. Who came up with that insanity? Judges should be apart from politics.)
@@KaiHenningsen judges in my country do not "run for office," and this creates impartiality. The other best thing is they can't act on beliefs but the letter of the law and they must give a legal application of the law to their sentences and if appeals shows they didn't they can lose their jobs. We also don't have advocacy groups murking up our laws.
Retired police dogs are not retired because they get old. Repeated daily exposure to highly addictive chemicals works exactly the same in dogs as it does for people. A dog going through withdrawal is going to be skittish, aggressive, and probably violent with people, its handlers, and other dogs. So they have to be retired from service. TL;DR: Drugs dogs will all become violent crackheads on a long enough time line. They have to keep being replaced every few years
@Heavenly_Fury I believe a cop would say that. They aren't 100% accurate. They provide probable cause. They signal on things all the time and it gets searched. Things often aren't found.
We have one of those mandatory arrest of the aggressor in a DV. Disabled autistic couple. Tiny apartment. They both have tics (uncontrollable muscle movements). She's laying down. He's walking past. Her leg twitches and bumps him. He thought she did it on purpose and hit her leg back just as lightly. But due to her bleeding disorder, she got a bad bruise. It wasn't healing in a decent amount of time, so she went to the ER. They asked how it happened. She got arrested. Her mom explained the situation to the judge. He was like "why are we even here?" eye roll.
I'm a law student in the UK, but here are two cases I've read about that are just completely stupid. Larsonneur - Woman was given a certain amount of time to remain in England, after which she travelled to Ireland. Irish authorities then deported her back to England, where she was subsequently arrested for being in England, even though she had no control over it. Winzar - Police were called to remove a drunk man from a hospital. They took him outside which was near a highway, and then subsequently arrested him for being 'drunk on a highway', even though, again, it was not in his control to be there. Both of these are state of affairs cases where essentially the courts don't care how the person came to be there, as long as the fact that they were there is proven.
Not a Cop, I was Homeless and sleeping at a place that had been posted as no loitering an old local train station, a couple of cops woke me and asked me what i was doing there. i pointed to the bank and a couple of other building that had cameras pointed as the plaza where i was sleeping and pointed out that if anything happened to me they would have video of it. they told me to have a good night and left.
not to mention the seatbelt stops the person behind the the drivers/passengers from flying and if they dont go through the windsheld they could straight up cruish the driver
There was another story on this channel where a pretty heavy guy driving in a truck with his son crushed him to death when the truck flipped on its side. If only he bought a seatbelt extender
There was a story about a girl who was decapitated by a seatbelt but I think the reason was she wasn’t big enough to sit without a booster seat or something. Ordinarily something like that wouldn’t happen
@@3days_leftwhen I was in training for my EMT license, my class was shown the... after effects... of a similar accident. Drunk driver with drunk buddies, all unbuckled, had a head on collision with a young family. Mom, dad, and young toddler. One of the drunk buddies went through both windshields, and killed the mom in a way that still shows up in my nightmares. One of the first responders ended himself soon after, and his note pointed to this accident as being part of the reason why.
@@transsnack damn. It sucks people lose their fucking lives because people are too lazy to take the 3 seconds to put on their seatbelts. Now that kid is gonna have to grow up without a mom for their stupidity. Hope that toddler is okay now.
The firearm/hunting story reminds me of when I went to high school. We live in an area with a heavy agriculture presence, so many kids had knives and multi-tools. Our teachers typically instructed student that if they had forgot to put the item away at home, to let them know and they could get it after class. The office staff however were not of that mind set and actually tried to expell several students over this. Once had a teacher try to give me after school detention for having precision screw drivers that I had for repairing electronics such as gameboys, ipods, psp etc. Fortunately the the principal called the teacher an idiot over this one and threw it out.
In my area you can plead poverty on a lot of basic driving tickets. A lot of time, you get a couple of hours of community service picking up a bit of litter, or if it's the first time you get cut, a little slack.
Honestly I never thought of the “people flying out of their windows could cause problems for other people” reason to enforce seatbelt laws and I’m for it now. Good point.
ya i know right i have a story i just posed so i copyed and pased it so I dint have to re-wright it saw a guy run in to a back of a car in his car ging 40? 50? i don't rember and fly. I mean this man was 70 feet of the ground and when he laned well let just say he didnt make it. so seatbelts are a must and just law that I suport to
@@L0VTX_H8CA 100% agree. But if you read the comment you’ll see that we aren’t talking about just protecting yourself. If you fly out of your car and die, that should be your problem, your decision to not wear a seatbelt shouldn’t put a family van driving by in danger. It makes more sense that the law would be put in place to protect everyone else on the road too.
@@necrotorium it’s really not that uncommon for people to fly out of a window during a wreck. Statistics say in about 27% of fatal accidents, people were ejected from their vehicles. So we can say it happens more than 1/4th of the time. That’s common enough to put in place some rules to help prevent that or at least lower the number of times it can happen..
Remember that not wearing seatbelt means in an emergency you slide around some and the controls in a car are deigned to be operated from a specific position so not wearing a seatbelt reduces your ability to maintain control of your car in an emergency, so that is totally a risk to people around you. even if You don't care about the long term mental health of the people who have to remove your half grated away corpse from the asphalt? and they suffer, trust me. having to del with your selfishly dead body leads to long term mental health issues for first responders. so maybe try not to die here out of consideration for people who risk their lives helping others?
The one that gets me is the law that if there is a domestic dispute call someone needs to be arrested. If it is a hetero couple the man is arrested even if he is the victim. Sometimes the woman takes everything and disappears including the kids. The man has a hell.of a time trying to get custody because he was arrested for domestic. The woman can even be under investigation for hurting the kids and still get full custody because the man was arrested.
It sucks but that requirement was only implemented because so many cops wouldn't arrest someone who was clearly abusive. Sometimes a friend or mostly just because they felt its a 'family issue'. Its not great that its being abused as it sometimes is, but some measure is clearly required to ensure cops do their jobs.
@@pingidjitno... there should never be a rule that a certain type of call automatically means an arrest. If your cops aren't doing their job and arresting actual abusers, the solution is never to arrest innocent people.
Someone not wearing a seatbelt easily turns "reckless driving" into "vehicular manslaughter". Big difference. Someone wearing their seatbelt makes a big difference even when considering other people.
The seat belt doesn't just save your life. It can legitimately save the lives of others in the car. If you're in an accident, even a relatively minor one, and fly out of your seat, you can injure a passenger.
I'm listening to this in the car and just got pulled over. He could have given me a ticket for tons of things, driving with an out-of-state license, expired registration, inspection out of date. He didn't give me any tickets because he told me that $150 ticket isn't going to help me get all of the things I need to get done.
In my experience, Maine has the best cops. I can't speak to the systemic issues as they mostly don't affect me. But, I haven't received any frivolous tickets simply for things I can't afford to fix
If your K9 only has 50% accuracy I very much doubt how the pooch got past the test. Dog indications can be used as court evidence, and they need to be trained as such.
"They had a lotion that had similar scents." "They drove through a puddle that someone had discarded a pipe in." "They had a bill in their wallet that had traces of cocaine on it." There are plenty of "false positive" excuses. The dog is just there to give them a reason to search further and hopefully find something. Even if it's not drug related, as long as they can claim the dog alerted which gave them a reason to search, then the evidence is admissable.
@@Lreclusa these cases are not really false positive. aside from "drove through a puddle" part in usual cases there will eventually be drugs found anyway. Also I think some pooches can indicate surface detection versus deep inside. For example, simple indication means the detected substance is on the surface, trying to scratch the cover means the detected stuff is inside.
@@borisglevrk You'd be surprised how many times a dog alerted and there were no drugs found. The reason I put those in quotes is because they're just lies made up to cover for the false alert, otherwise people will claim the dog isn't fit for duty. It is absolutely possible for sniffer dogs to legitimately do their job, and do it well. Unfortunately it's much more common for them to look to the handler's body language and signals and alert based on those. If you don't believe a dog would do that, look up the 'counting horse'. The horse could accurately count and do math, and people were amazed by it. A skeptic investigated because he thought the horse's owner was signaling it in some way. Even when the owner wasn't around, the horse knew the answers. So the guy made sure nobody within sight of the horse saw the question, and suddenly the horse couldn't solve it. The horse was watching the reactions of the people around to know when to stop 'counting', so if the people didn't know when it was supposed to stop, neither did the horse. The same happens with drug dogs.
@@borisglevrk look up "clever hans". He was a horse that could "do math". Turns out he was just really good at understanding human behavior and could "answer" based on their reactions. Beyond the very best handler/dog teams, most will end up like Hans, responding to their handler's expectations. They would still alert on genuine drugs, but they'd also alert when people expected them to.
@@borisglevrk A false positive is defined as indicating something as true when it is not Also, most American money has cocaine residue on it from contact transfer Maybe you should step outside your "Law & Order" and "CSI" themed mind and take a look at the real world for once
7:18 - seatbelt discourse. I disagree with OP here. My brother died last year in a car accident when he was driving home from work. His friend (who was driving) had worn a seatbelt, my brother did not. The friend survived. So yes, seatbelts ARE very important.
The OP didn’t say they weren’t important just that if you don’t put one on it’s your choice. Let’s be real, even if he does pull someone over and fine them for the seatbelt thing said person could easily just not put it on again later and still get in an accident. Hell they even make devices now to stick in the belt buckle so the sensors in the car won’t go off now. I’m sorry that happened to your brother though that’s very unfortunate.
He may have still died if he was wearing one. Unless he was a 200lb 6 ft tall dude, seatbelt safety wasn't designed for him. Seatbelt legislation needs a whole revamp and proper safety belt implemented. The current ones cause as much harm a they save. Its ridiculous that we still let car manufacturers get away with an inferior product that doesn't work for the vast majority of the population.
@@japanesejackalope Seatbelts also keep you from turning into a 100+ pound meat-missile during an accident. And they keep you in your seat, which makes it easier for you to control your vehicle. It's not just your own safety that's at stake here
Wow that is crazy Australia. Canada got rid of debtor prison. Not only that the practice of sending people to jail over unpaid debts was abolished over two centuries ago.
the First video is the reason crime is so bad in the UK, criminals can do what they want while people just trying to live are the ones getting the book thrown at them.
Re: seatbelts... yup, from personal experience it is really hard to try to control a vehicle when you are no longer in the drivers seat. After sliding on some ice and hitting the curb, I had slid across the bench seat *and* the passenger, but I still had a hold on the wheel and was steering while getting back to where I could work the brake pedal. We didn't hit anything more due to luck than skill.
that one about the afterparty REALLY sucks, especially because (and this is HEAVILY CIRCUMSTANTIAL and state dependent) but there are some states where if the alcohol is provided by a Parent/Guardian and if it's on a property that is owned by the party involved (which is the more important part), it is actually legal to drink under age. I actually did this myself, family friend is a cop, dropped by to say hello when we (my family) were playin' board games and drinking. i was 19 at the time, and was drinking in front of an on-duty police officer.
Traffic laws ( unless some serious issues are going on ) Drug laws ( where people care about more of what they’re getting out of it instead of actually rehabilitating the individual) Is something which our society needs to work on. The law enforcement are either bound by law or they think of Theo own profits. In truth we are supposed to work together instead of leaving things out for others to handle. Because truly every single individual is doing the same, leaving the situation. People might say, it doesn’t concern me, until it will start concerning them. Banning has never helped. And I feel political forces regardless of their leaning have immense profits to reap from the trade. Hence they aren’t going to bring much of a change regardless.
It's pretty easy to follow things like speeding laws most places. If you yourself don't care about what might happen to your license, why should society do so? Sure, you get occasional deliberate traps, but 99.999% of the time you are safe if you keep your foot off the gas. Seatbelts are another one, have a relative who nearly got smashed when somebody flew through his windshield from a head on, lucky the passenger side was empty. I hope I don't have to explain cellphones, tablets, turn signals, and DUI? Or any other distracted driving?
@@TheAnonymousuchiha1225 Speeding is the NUMBER ONE cause involved in driving fatalities, and has been for decades. Imho, the consequences for speeding are far, far too light right now, you should automatically have your license suspended for at several months for every single case. And if the only choice we have is to remove at least part of the potential k!llers through the law as it is now, it's a good thing. Would save a lot of lives if people are afraid to push on the gas, or if they are simply removed from the road. Or do you not care for the innocent people and their families said speedsters entirely voluntarily unalive?
@@phoenix211245 I meant about parking tickets, tinted windows, etc. Not speeding and driving under the influence. Those are serious crimes especially if they’ve been a threat to others on the streets.
@@TheAnonymousuchiha1225 Oh, for a few like parking fines I'd say the time to pay the fine can very well be extended. Though what do you do if the person still does not pay? Suspend their license, impound their car, lock their accounts, garnish their wages? Or do you create a protected class that can park wherever they want? They will have to pay the fine eventually, not having the fines will create utter chaos, and the fine is generally so low that if you can't save for it in a month, you will never pay it. I haven't seen a fine higher than a few hours of parking anywhere around Europe, Mid East, or Asia so far, and a quick search tells it's around 70usd in New York, so, again, just a few hours of parking. Tinted windows tbh, is so simple to avoid it's a non-issue. Simply don't tint above the allowed level. Don't know about USA, but in UK it's a max of 25% tint for front, 30% for sides, and illegal to sell anything darker. If you can afford the premium for illegal car mods, you can definitely afford the fine.
5:04 for this story, I think this story doesn’t take place in the US cause where I live in there we have this rule called Safe Harbor meaning that if you turn in something you’re not supposed to have pier to a search you won’t have any disciplinary consequences, you may get a few questions I’m not sure but you won’t get in trouble.
Story 20: The consent laws are a problem that flies under the radar somewhat. I have even heard of a few stories where people were on dating apps and ended up hooking up with girls on there that lied about their age, so the guys in that situation could get charged for violating consent and end up becoming sex offenders. This is one of the most ridiculous way I can imagine someone ending up on the sex offender registry. Leave that for the real sickos out there.
Kinda related thing: I've heard that about 50% of "child-porn" cases are 14 year old guys who have a couple pictures of their gf who, surprise, isn't 18 yet.
8:51 I agree with that. In Germany the speeding ticket "industry" is a giant money grab as it seems, but in Sweden every single radar trap is announced with a sign, because they're there to get people to slow down in dangerous places that don't look obviously dangerous to speed through. And only those that don't give a crap about traffic safety and still speed get a ticket that way.
I would like to add that in Brazil, the same thing happens in regards to the warnings of upcoming radars and the speed limit applied. There is a downside in which in some roads, people will slow down just for the radar, and then proceed to drive at speeds even more dangerous to "make up for the loss of time".
5:06 Schools had Rifle & Archery classes, so it was COMMON for students to have these with them AT SCHOOL... ...until they got banned, to make schools "safe" 🤯 "Unintended Consequences"
The stuff about domestic abuse doesn't seem clear cut and the policy just seems to be to arrest the aggressor and ask questions later. Which kinda makes sense given that you don't know who the abuser is or if the call was done out of spite/ anger. But if that's the case, then no one should be charged until you get both sides of the story and investigate for facts.
These reminded me of that time I went to a club in a very busy, loud and drunk street which I never feel safe in on weekends. I had a kubotan for self defense in my bag and handed it to the bouncer who usually is supposed to call the cops because this is a no weapon zone. I said „I know I can’t have this here and especially not in there but unless you walk me home personally I need this on my way home“. He was super sweet about it and made it his mission to make sure I get my kubotan back for safety even giving detailed description of me to his bouncer coworker. I still think about him.
Story 15, as the son of a cop who often befriended the people he arrested, honestly was the one that made the most sense, and while the other stories have merits, this is the only one that I have heard multiple cops grinding their teeth when they have to arrest someone they KNOW because the justice system is more concerned with punishment than it is with reform
10:32 a friend of mine had 3 fingers cut off due to being stoned on majauna on his job. He got them reattached, but it left some intense scars. Marijuana is like alcohol in that regard, don't drive or operate heavy machinery while under it's influence.
On that call for a domestic, someone must be arrested. Just start calling on the cops homes. Also, that seat belts one your body thrashing around the cab can kill your passengers
@indrickboreale5463 if they catch you, but either way, it should generate an incident report and dollars to donuts it wouldn't include an arrest of one of the people. This means that it can be inquiries why the cops are giving each other preferential treatment. Also, 50 50 they will show up to the actual dv scene. Cops have an unfortunately high rate of dv.
Story 6: It's wild to me that you suspend someones license to drive for other reasons than them being unfit to drive. In the US this is especially problematic, since you often just can't live without a car. Suspending someones license for driving infractions that are dangerous to the public. (speeding, running reds, DUI) that makes sense. But being too poor to pay a ticket? Also when the fine does not depend on your income, a normal fine becomes unjust punishment for a poor person and meaningless for a rich person. For a rich person illegal parking does not bring the risk of being punished by a 100$ ticket, thats just what it costs to park wherever you want.
Take it from an EMT: In addition to what you said, it’s not just ‘oh if you want a new face then fine by me’; not wearing a seatbelt in an accident *will* fuck up your life. Yes everyone’s got that story of the uncle or friend or friend’s uncle who was saved because he was thrown clear of the car. That *WON’T* happen to you. At best you’re gonna get thrown into the other car you hit and maybe the windshield will cradle you a bit. More than likely you’ll be thrown into something harder, like a tree or a brick wall. But statistically you’re not going to have a frontal impact, it’s gonna be from the side or behind. The forces won’t eject you, but now that steering column is buried in your chest. Even if you survive, recovery can take weeks to months and then you might not be at the level you were at before. Buckle up. It’s your life. I have never seen an accident where I said, “wow, I’m glad they weren’t wearing their seatbelts!” And no one I know has either.
The area of the state I live in is great when it comes to expired registration. Now if it's like a year past expired then yes they'll pull you over and give you a ticket. However if it's a few months they'll usually keep driving and if they pull you over just tell you to renew when you have the chance. I was one of those people who couldn't afford it at the time and was panicking when I got pulled over. The cop noticed and asked why. I told him and he just said he rarely enforces it if it's half a year. Gave me a warning for speeding and went on his day
I also was heavily abused as a kid and as a result really wanted to be a cop. But quickly decided against it when i started to think a bit more critically about what law enforcement actually was. I cannot do a job where i enforce laws i disagree with. And i can never consider those who do that job and enforce laws they disagree with as good people. Because that means you arrest and affect peoples lives because you are scared to lose your job. And if thats the case then that means their job comes before my rights. I opted to be a truck driver instead and provide an objectively invaluable service to the world.
Until self driving trucks come around and you become obsolete, because you decided protecting people by enforcing good laws made you horrible because there also existed laws you possibly would have to enforce as well.
@@mcarrowtime7095 self driving trucks? I've been driving for almost 15 years. ask me how many self driving trucks I've seen. and yes, when you enforce bad laws such as red flag laws that result in innocent law abiding citizens dying because cops are quick to turn off their thinking caps, you cannot possibly claim that you are protecting and serving we the people. I have been told by multiple former law enforcement officers and lawyers to never talk to the police. their job to is to look for anything and everything to get you on. these people have literal incentives to further their career through arrests. that doesn't sound heroic at all.
@@RAWTEN and yet in the times when law enforcement in the country was scarce, crime was a rampant issue with no way for most people to solve it. for every officer enforcing unconstitutional red flag laws, there's an officer taking a cartel member off the street, for every officer harassing a homeless man, there's the officer getting shot trying to arrest a known gang member. If you leave the policing to the people with no moral qualms about furthering their careers, why are you surprised when the only people taking the jobs are those same people? and about the trucks, they've been successfully tested on highways much like self-driving cars, and if you're lucky they might not displace you before you're ready to retire, but you never know how fast computational tech will compound on itself.
@mcarrowtime7095 let's say the trucks are successful. You will still need someone behind it to further ensure its safety on the road. And those companies are gonna show you what they wanna show you. You can't make a case for a good cop when you immediately counter it with an example of a bad one. You wasted time trying to make a point just to cancel it out right after. When qualified immunity becomes a thing of the past, and more "Good cops" start holding the bad ones accountable, I reserve the right to change my opinion. I don't ever see that happening. You act like cops are out here putting their lives on the line every day when that's not even close to being the case. They don't even make the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the United States. Truckers do, though. There's a book called "rise of the warrior cop" You should read it. It'll give some insight as to how militarized our police have gotten. And shine a light on how little the police care about our rights.
@@RAWTEN what you call "cancelling out good cops" is the opposite, both in the order I was saying it and in the message it was sending. You see it clearly as "there are bad cops for every good cop" because you're already convinced that police as a whole are inherently bad, whereas what I was saying that because you are presupposing about bad police there are examples of good police to counter that Idea. when qualified immunity is gone, the number of people willing to become police will become nil as police become targets of malicious lawsuits and DA's looking to forward their career by actively putting the police in a bad light so they can say "they're hard on bad cops". not being in the top ten doesn't mean they aren't risking their lives every day, they're risking their lives every time they stop a car it just happens that bullet proof vests and guns are better at protecting against getting shot or stabbed than whatever safety systems are in trucks are at preventing their deaths. It would be very easy for me to find a book that is completely contradictory to yours, because anyone can write a book taking any stance they like.
I agree with Story 13 so much! EVERYTHING is basically a crime now, and it seems like the state will jail you over the pettiest thing. Not everything needs to be solved with a jail cell.
This thread was full of wonderful people. Despite that, I still find myself being wary of cops simply because the possibility and precedent are there for them to be power-tripping assholes.
over here in Australia there a law where your car needs to be "fit for roadworthiness" That means you can't have slicks, you can't have half your exhaust pipe missing, you can't be leaking oil and you can't have damage on the front that would "lead to substantial injury to a pedestrian" Cops only pull those over that they have a vendetta for, or those that obviously aren't roadworthy, you have a 30 year old car that's blowing a little smoke? meh, it's cold out. But for the more serious safety and obvious ones including no exhaust, they really don't bother. Why? well, because most of those beaters are driven by pensioners, the poor, can you imagine giving them a defect notice on their car for something that they can't afford PLUS demand it fixed within 30 days and PLUS you have to take it down to "the pits" which is an inspection site for commercial vehicles and defected vehicles... they won't miss a thing, if they pull you over and ask you to pop the hood when your car is over 10 years old... I assure you your car is destined for the junkyard at that point. Which is why most cops in Australia just ignore it... to the point where one even pushed my car into the parking lot of a shopping center while my car was leaking oil and the air filter was blown across the engine bay... ah, good guy don't know his name, don't want to name him
In Brazil the situation is very similar. But there is one more thing: While cops can handle SOME traffic situations, there is another public (government) department that specifically deals with traffic laws, and traffic laws only. They are the ones that will issue tickets and handle these "minor issues". Naturally bigger operations and pursuits are handled by the police, but not minor traffic violations. So unless it's your average power trip corrupt cop, it's far less likely that armed policeman will handle minor issues. And several cops straight up ignore some traffic violations right in front of them (sometimes even in cases where they technically should do something).
42:10 I don't know how it is in Canada but here in the US you don't need the victim to "press charges" to prosecute at all. That's actually up to the prosecutor and in some cases a grand jury alongside the prosecutor. It will make it more difficult to prosecute if the victim won't testify willingly or is willing to lie under oath, but if the evidence is strong enough then a conviction can happen regardless.
7:15 our former town mayor once called the cops on a homeless man that poured a bottle of water over his head in the summer heat to cool off. Because he was shirtless she claimed he was bathing, he got arrested. She also used a lot of tax funds to put large boulders where the homeless tended to congregate and sleep. The current mayor put in a tent camp for the homeless right next to this area 😂
A few years earlier.. I live in the UK and I was growing 4 cannabis plants. I forgot why but I ended up with 2 Police Officers in my flat. I was shaking out of fear and they asked me if I was okay and they offered to make me a Bru. So, they went into the Kitchen (where my plants where in the cupboard) and put the Kettle on. The Police said, ''is stinks of weed in here'' so I said yeah, I've smoked a joint in there earlier. I went to the toilet (still shaking) and I was sure I was about to get arrested but when I entered the living room they just handed me the Bru. All they had to do was open the cupboard and boom. Because of the smell they legally had the right to open the cupboard but they didn't. (or they did but stayed quiet) I think the Officers knew but they let it go because they knew what else I was dealing with. Probably the closest call I've ever had. Respect to the Police Officers for prioritising my Mental Health. 🙃

36:27 fun story- one time, I was driving my mom and I (in her car) to Buffalo. I had had to convince her to keep the planned trip to see her sister (who’s also her best friend) even though it was only a couple weeks after my dad had died. But I knew it would be good for her, so I got her to agree to still going, partially on the condition that I drive or help her drive. Anyway, point is we were both kinda going through it. Now, My mom’s Cadillac was a LOT nicer than my old beater, and therefore a much smoother ride than I’m used to. I also didn’t have cruise control on my regular car, so I had gotten out of the habit of using it. So we’re tooling along, just chatting and such, and suddenly we get pulled over. I’m in the left lane (the passing lane), but not going that much faster than the cars I’m passing. So right off the bat I’m rattled, bc I don’t know how to pull over in the left lane of a four-lane highway. I was afraid he’d think I was running if I kept driving and shifted over four lanes, so I tried to pull over in the center strip. That was NOT the right move, apparently 😂 once he got me pulled over, he told us we were doing 100 mph, which we were both visibly SHOCKED to hear haha. Between our obvious shock & apologies, and (probably) the fact that I was a 20-something young woman and my mom looked maybe in her early 40s (people always think we’re sisters), the guy decided not to write a ticket for the speed we were going. Apparently it would be a FELONY bc it was more than 30 over the speed limit 😅 but he had to give a ticket to justify pulling us over, so he looked the car over, saw that my mom had one of those plate borders, and wrote a ticket for that instead 😂😂😂
you can quit any time you want; THC is not capable of causing a chemical addiction because it does not alter the production or application of any hormone, which is why addictions occur.
@@reaganeidemiller7132 Actually, it's called willpower So many addicts don't go clean because they don't have the willpower to resist the idea of being far away and blissfully unaware, because the drugs made their real lives shit
In the US in MOST states roadside brethalyzers are used in court cases as evidence for conviction of a DUI. Also, in many states refusing a chemical test not only gets you arrested, but is also an automatic license suspension. The amount of time of suspension varies. If you can beat a DUI conviction you can get it back but it usually still costs reinstatement fees.

A highway on my commite has 45mph limit and people drive 60-70. Thats roughly 50% over the limit but its the flow of traffic for how that road is designed.
the 3rd one about bars and minors getting in is a BIG double edged sword. yes its better they drink in a supervised place with laws enforced by bartenders/ security, drinks that are SAFER then in a chaotic house party environment (but still not 100% safe cause people suck)etc BUT if someone is in the club the assumption may be that they are of legal age to be there. once intoxicated ones better judgement may fail and assumptions can be made and they could bring someone home for a one night stand and end up in jail for statutory AND permanently on a register that will affect the rest of their life. so it only works if they are keeping a REAL CLOSE EYE on those who used fake IDs and ensuring they do not leave with anyone inappropriate/get sent home in a taxi or uber or family member/freind etc. Having said that, if you take home someone from a bar, its on you to make sure they are A able to consent, B legally capable of consenting, C of age to consent.

I'm in Texas, so weed isn't legal for recreational use, but where I live, the police don't give a care as long as you're not bothering anyone. My mom smoked it and was high, and so was I, and the police drove down our street. They stopped and just said hi and asked if we were having fun. I was so scared I was gonna go to jail, but they just told us to have fun and to not bother anyone, and went on their way.
Oh this is a new video! As a new subscriber I’ve been binging all their old and older videos so I’m shocked this is a new video and I’m catching it real time :)
As a Canadian i know for a fact that there are roads/highways where 120kmh still doesnt get you to where you are going any faster the USA has places like that too there are stretches in the USA where you can drive for 10 hiurs at 100 mph and see not even a single other car person plane or even animal
My mother worked as a taxi dispatcher in a small town in New Zealand when she was in her teens. She didnt have a drivers licence at the time. One of the drivers was drunk when turning up to work driving a taxi. Police would turn a blind eye for her driving the taxi because they knew it was better for her to be driving than for him to be driving. She had to do it many times.
How the hell did that guy keep his job?! Seriously showing to work as a driver drunk?! Wtf?! I mean while i absolutely respect your mother for what she did and the cops that let it slide, she shouldn't have been put in that position
So fun fact! Canada doesn't technically have Romeo and Juliet laws, there's no real need because our consent laws are longer than a number. Canada's consent laws include provisions for 12 -18 with hard limits and even some broader rules. 12/13, 14/15, 16/17 and 18 and up each have their own section of the consent laws and yes 18 and up is basically just "It's fine." Technically this is a "Close in age exception" but last time I looked at the laws it didn't say that, articles about them do though. Basically if a kids 15? Anyone from 13 - 20 with them is okay, with certain exceptions. 12/13 get a two year bump, 14/15 a five year and 16/17 don't have an age limit except when a judge decides they do actually, that's when a judge decides the age gap is big enough to count as a position of authority.
The domestic violence thing. Ugh. Its pretty awful. I got arrested for domestic violence in July 2022 because my partner had a psychotic episode. We were staying in a motel at the time so of course if she broke stuff in the room i would be financially liable. So i tried to restrain her and calm her down the best i could. Unfortunately her perceptions were warped and she perceived this as an attack and struggled really badly against me. The asshole next door called it in as a domestic assault and the cops HAD to arrest me based on her testimony. Wouldnt hear the mental health aspect of the issue and basically lost me my job, screwed her over, and legally i shouldnt have been in contact with her anymore. She was totally financially dependant on me so I had to deal with th constant fear of getting thrown in jail as I continued to support her. The charges got thrown out because she refused to cooperate with the DA and everything resolved itself, but i cant get a lot of jobs even the most basic entry level fast food stuff now. Just because I have a violent arrest on my record. That stuff isnt a joke; wish cops could use a bit more discretion on those issues.
It doesn't make sense for an arrest without a conviction to be on your record. Have you checked with a lawyer to see if there is an avenue to getting it stricken from the record?
@@Lreclusa it really doesn't! Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?? It can get expunged but of course it's a whole process I have to pay for and file paperwork to get done. Currently been getting by ok without needing to, but it's something I would like to handle in the future.
26:45 so in my country, there's 4 speed limits for drivers 50 kmh inside a populated area 90 kmh between populated areas (from city to city for example) 110 kmh on "fake highways" (these are kinda like highways but they do not have tollbooths) 130 kmh on highways so if the traffic signs don't say otherwise this is the rule for speed limits almost nobody follows that perfectly, everyone goes around 10-20 over the limit I was getting my license 2 years ago and my instructor literally said as we were driving in between areas that even tho I should drive 85 max, she would easily drive 100 here because that 10 doesn't hurt anyone, but it saves a bit of time, and in a world where nobody has any time, getting home 5 minutes earlier is a massive boost to your mental health and that's the norm too. I'm a shaky driver because I haven't needed a car yet, but most people I drive with go slightly above the limit everywhere
Okay, yeah I'm with you on the MN law comment. How on earth would encouraging someone to take their own life ever be a "thought crime"? If you are telling someone to do something, that is an action. (There is a conversation to be had about if someone is terminally ill, but I'm talking about cases they're not.)
For the first story, if you come into my house you may not leave. Here in Canada we have 0 rights to protect ourselves in our homes but idgaf, I’ll protect my family and sit in jail the rest my life if it means they’re ok.
Had a close friend arrested because her abusive bf(ex now thank gods) hit himself multiple times in the head with his knuckles, and had his mom call the cops on my friend. The cops could see no damage on her hands, but had to arrest her anyways. We bailed her out and found out the story. That's such a bs law
About the tint, I think there should be a way to make it legal to have higher tint if you have issues with your eyes. My eyes are so sensitive to light that I can’t see or look up at all when it’s sunny. I don’t drive but I bet there are those who drive who struggle with the same issue and could benefit from tint.
I wish you could get a medical exemption. I have issues with photo sensitivity, and I'm allergic to the sun (I am being fully unironic. Too much uv exposure makes me break out in hives everywhere but my face). I wish I could tint my windows deeper so I don't have to constantly wear long sleeves and gloves.
I only had good encounters with cops, they got me 4 times with a lit spliff in my hand before weed was legalized here, and they always let me go without even taking my weed away or noting my details. To be fair I never drive under influence and never did, so the cops always found me on foot and had no reason to think I would drive and be a danger to anyone
Drug sniffing dogs have a 55-64% accuracy rate inspecting inside and outside cars. However they do ever have a 83% accuracy and 5% inaccuracy when indoors. A lot of people like to say “oh they just want a reward” however that is not usually the case, it’s more likely the fact that the scent of drugs can last 48hrs after the source is removed. So I understand why people wouldn’t like using them.
Story 28: If you went to jail and did your time, you shouldn't be continued to have punishment after that. You DID the punishment. I so strongly disagree (with very few exceptions) about jail time influencing job prospects. It just adds injury and more useless penalty to many honest people.
On california and R&J laws. As left leaning as we are, we still have a couple conservative counties and had been relatively conservative a couple times in the past, we are still cleaning up parts of the code and figuring out if something will actually work. For every 1 paw we pass that fails, we usually already voted against a couple others that wouldn't have.
Story 54. They changed the law here, a few years ago, and made refusal of a breathalyser a criminal offence on its own, subject to a $1000 fine, criminal record, and automatic conviction of a DUI, adding the repercussions of that, as well.
Depends. Over here, more expensive fines are typically in "day-fines", that is, depending on how much you earn per day. So you get fined so many days, and if you're poor, that's a lot less money than when you're rich ... well, middle class, the rich can manipulate the numbers to make their actual income disappear. More common with taxes. But that's mainly it gets tricky to find a way to apply this fairly to the very rich, because they have so many options for how to arrange their finances.
Hearing these stories is terrifying especially when innocent people are put into jail it makes you feel like you should never ever leave your house unless it’s an emergency and food I don’t want to be then next innocent person put into jail especially when statistics show around the world more innocent people are put into jail than actual criminals.
Story 36 (26:02) - stuff like this needs to be talked about more (although I'd have to say going 50% above a speed limit is past the point of being too dangerous to be tolerated). There is such vitriol over people breaking a speed limit that you'd begin to think that every speeder is going to cause an accident. That isn't even realistic, or we'd be seeing accidents everywhere! And let's not get started over what insurance companies try to trick you into doing when those "discount" programs show up...
There's this thing called "driving with due regard" that a lot of people do especially especially people in rescue work You're pretty much going fast but your eyes are constantly on what's going on around you so that you are not going to run over if you are not going to hit the person that just slammed on their brakes in front of you and so on and so forth nobody gets hurt and you're not going some stupid mundane speed that's only going to make everybody late
Oddly, a neighbor is going through the no contact order thing right now. He is a real piece of work, she ended up pulling a knife in defence (no poky poky that i know of), so she gets charged and he gets no contact. But guess who comes back to live with her?? At that point, I figure he should go (back) to jail.

Not a cop thank heaven. But where I live there's a law that you can't feed stray cats. No one listens to that one
What a ridiculous law, that’s honestly like not being able to feed a starving baby! Animals are on this planet the same as us, smarter does not mean worthy!
Where I live, my town the cops are more hard asses cause we are tiny and nothing happens so they act like anything is something (I had a seizure, I’m epileptic, they tried to interrogate me while seizing as my parents were there saying “she’s epileptic” but every other town in the area the cops are super laid back and nice)
Is that the town where an old woman was feeding strays to bait them, so she could get them fixed?
@@Catherine.Dorian.similar thing happened to an old coworker. He was up at bike week in NH and had a seizure. Now it may have been drug induced, but he swears it wasn't. Anyway, the cops come, and he wakes up in the hospital with multiple lacerations, two black eyes, and bruised ribs. The report said he od'd and resisted, despite, and was unconscious when they took him to the hospital...where they gave him his seizure meds.
Well that's good.
Unfortunately when the law says you're allowed to do what's reasonable or forbidden from doing what's not reasonable, the definition of "reasonable" is "whatever a jury thinks."
I thank god every day I don't come from a jury system country. People just don't have that much reasoning skills, peers or otherwise,... and then there's the problem of idiotic peers that think "couldn't be me."
It grants flexibility for a jury to consider the circumstances beyond a black and white law. It provides for the fact that in the heat of a moment you don't have time to consider the nuance of how a self defence law was written.
To me it's perfectly sane. The police arrest does not mean guilty, it's for the purposes of investigation of the circumstances so it can be determined if it's a reasonable or disproportionate response
@@availanila Then you'd better share the same values and opinions as whoever can try you for a crime.
@@infidellic Doesn't need a jury for that. Any judge should be able to do it, and they often do. (And they certainly aren't worse than jurors, unless you're from a place that politicises them by making them run for a public vote. Who came up with that insanity? Judges should be apart from politics.)
@@KaiHenningsen judges in my country do not "run for office," and this creates impartiality. The other best thing is they can't act on beliefs but the letter of the law and they must give a legal application of the law to their sentences and if appeals shows they didn't they can lose their jobs. We also don't have advocacy groups murking up our laws.
One of the reasons drug dogs give false positives is because they are rewarded when they find something so sometimes they just want the reward
Retired police dogs are not retired because they get old. Repeated daily exposure to highly addictive chemicals works exactly the same in dogs as it does for people.
A dog going through withdrawal is going to be skittish, aggressive, and probably violent with people, its handlers, and other dogs. So they have to be retired from service.
TL;DR: Drugs dogs will all become violent crackheads on a long enough time line. They have to keep being replaced every few years
Some jurisdictions save the dogs for search and rescue missions but those are becoming fewer
Idk about y'all police but form what a cop told me is if the dog makes a mistake the are kicked off the force and retired.
@Heavenly_Fury I believe a cop would say that. They aren't 100% accurate. They provide probable cause. They signal on things all the time and it gets searched. Things often aren't found.
And they can be trained to alert on the officer's signal as well.
We have one of those mandatory arrest of the aggressor in a DV. Disabled autistic couple. Tiny apartment. They both have tics (uncontrollable muscle movements). She's laying down. He's walking past. Her leg twitches and bumps him. He thought she did it on purpose and hit her leg back just as lightly. But due to her bleeding disorder, she got a bad bruise. It wasn't healing in a decent amount of time, so she went to the ER. They asked how it happened. She got arrested. Her mom explained the situation to the judge. He was like "why are we even here?" eye roll.
I'm a law student in the UK, but here are two cases I've read about that are just completely stupid.
Larsonneur - Woman was given a certain amount of time to remain in England, after which she travelled to Ireland. Irish authorities then deported her back to England, where she was subsequently arrested for being in England, even though she had no control over it.
Winzar - Police were called to remove a drunk man from a hospital. They took him outside which was near a highway, and then subsequently arrested him for being 'drunk on a highway', even though, again, it was not in his control to be there.
Both of these are state of affairs cases where essentially the courts don't care how the person came to be there, as long as the fact that they were there is proven.
This was incredibly frustrating to read. Those poor people.
Here in the US our laws are based mostly on yours as a template, and we do see somethings similar in nature.
I would have thought there are laws against that kind of thing, that's ridiculous
Feels like the textbook definition of entrapment.
Not a Cop, I was Homeless and sleeping at a place that had been posted as no loitering an old local train station, a couple of cops woke me and asked me what i was doing there. i pointed to the bank and a couple of other building that had cameras pointed as the plaza where i was sleeping and pointed out that if anything happened to me they would have video of it. they told me to have a good night and left.
Yeah the story where the cop put the gun in the domestic abuser's mouth.. That's a monologue from Mike towards Walter White in Breaking Bad lol
Thought it sounded familiar. Thanks!
I was waiting for them to describe the woman as "like a bird" hahaha
Redditors trying to tell a story that actually happened *impossible*
not to mention the seatbelt stops the person behind the the drivers/passengers from flying and if they dont go through the windsheld they could straight up cruish the driver
There was another story on this channel where a pretty heavy guy driving in a truck with his son crushed him to death when the truck flipped on its side. If only he bought a seatbelt extender
There was a story about a girl who was decapitated by a seatbelt but I think the reason was she wasn’t big enough to sit without a booster seat or something. Ordinarily something like that wouldn’t happen
@@3days_leftI also wanted to mention this story. Absolute insanity that people still don't get the point of seatbelts
@@3days_leftwhen I was in training for my EMT license, my class was shown the... after effects... of a similar accident. Drunk driver with drunk buddies, all unbuckled, had a head on collision with a young family. Mom, dad, and young toddler. One of the drunk buddies went through both windshields, and killed the mom in a way that still shows up in my nightmares. One of the first responders ended himself soon after, and his note pointed to this accident as being part of the reason why.
@@transsnack damn. It sucks people lose their fucking lives because people are too lazy to take the 3 seconds to put on their seatbelts. Now that kid is gonna have to grow up without a mom for their stupidity. Hope that toddler is okay now.
The firearm/hunting story reminds me of when I went to high school. We live in an area with a heavy agriculture presence, so many kids had knives and multi-tools. Our teachers typically instructed student that if they had forgot to put the item away at home, to let them know and they could get it after class. The office staff however were not of that mind set and actually tried to expell several students over this. Once had a teacher try to give me after school detention for having precision screw drivers that I had for repairing electronics such as gameboys, ipods, psp etc. Fortunately the the principal called the teacher an idiot over this one and threw it out.
Story 56 is a Breaking Bad quote, the chapter is literally called Half Measures

In my area you can plead poverty on a lot of basic driving tickets. A lot of time, you get a couple of hours of community service picking up a bit of litter, or if it's the first time you get cut, a little slack.
Honestly I never thought of the “people flying out of their windows could cause problems for other people” reason to enforce seatbelt laws and I’m for it now. Good point.
ya i know right i have a story i just posed so i copyed and pased it so I dint have to re-wright it
saw a guy run in to a back of a car in his car ging 40? 50? i don't rember and fly. I mean this man was 70 feet of the ground and when he laned well let just say he didnt make it. so seatbelts are a must and just law that I suport to
I don’t think the law should require you to protect yourself for shit.
@@L0VTX_H8CA 100% agree. But if you read the comment you’ll see that we aren’t talking about just protecting yourself. If you fly out of your car and die, that should be your problem, your decision to not wear a seatbelt shouldn’t put a family van driving by in danger. It makes more sense that the law would be put in place to protect everyone else on the road too.
A person flying out of a car & actually injuring someone else is so unlikely that it shouldn't even be considered in making the law.
@@necrotorium it’s really not that uncommon for people to fly out of a window during a wreck. Statistics say in about 27% of fatal accidents, people were ejected from their vehicles. So we can say it happens more than 1/4th of the time. That’s common enough to put in place some rules to help prevent that or at least lower the number of times it can happen..
Remember that not wearing seatbelt means in an emergency you slide around some and the controls in a car are deigned to be operated from a specific position so not wearing a seatbelt reduces your ability to maintain control of your car in an emergency, so that is totally a risk to people around you. even if You don't care about the long term mental health of the people who have to remove your half grated away corpse from the asphalt? and they suffer, trust me. having to del with your selfishly dead body leads to long term mental health issues for first responders. so maybe try not to die here out of consideration for people who risk their lives helping others?
As a firefighter please.. please for the love of god WEAR YOUR SEATBELT
Nope.
It’s my choice
I don't agree with overlooking seatbelt violations.
In story 7, something similar happened, but instead of the police called, he got FUCKING EXPELLED
The one that gets me is the law that if there is a domestic dispute call someone needs to be arrested. If it is a hetero couple the man is arrested even if he is the victim. Sometimes the woman takes everything and disappears including the kids. The man has a hell.of a time trying to get custody because he was arrested for domestic. The woman can even be under investigation for hurting the kids and still get full custody because the man was arrested.
And then people wonder why both cops and politicians are hated by anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together. SMH.
Thankfully it's beginning to change for the better, but its only BEGINNING. Women can be and are abusers
It sucks but that requirement was only implemented because so many cops wouldn't arrest someone who was clearly abusive. Sometimes a friend or mostly just because they felt its a 'family issue'. Its not great that its being abused as it sometimes is, but some measure is clearly required to ensure cops do their jobs.
@@pingidjitno... there should never be a rule that a certain type of call automatically means an arrest. If your cops aren't doing their job and arresting actual abusers, the solution is never to arrest innocent people.
@@pingidjit Wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG!
"It is better that ten guilty men walk free, than a single innocent man suffer."

Someone not wearing a seatbelt easily turns "reckless driving" into "vehicular manslaughter". Big difference. Someone wearing their seatbelt makes a big difference even when considering other people.
If a seat belt is what saves my life I'd rather be dead then deal with whatever injuries it would bring.
The seat belt doesn't just save your life. It can legitimately save the lives of others in the car. If you're in an accident, even a relatively minor one, and fly out of your seat, you can injure a passenger.
I'm listening to this in the car and just got pulled over. He could have given me a ticket for tons of things, driving with an out-of-state license, expired registration, inspection out of date. He didn't give me any tickets because he told me that $150 ticket isn't going to help me get all of the things I need to get done.
In my experience, Maine has the best cops. I can't speak to the systemic issues as they mostly don't affect me. But, I haven't received any frivolous tickets simply for things I can't afford to fix
If your K9 only has 50% accuracy I very much doubt how the pooch got past the test.
Dog indications can be used as court evidence, and they need to be trained as such.
"They had a lotion that had similar scents." "They drove through a puddle that someone had discarded a pipe in." "They had a bill in their wallet that had traces of cocaine on it."
There are plenty of "false positive" excuses. The dog is just there to give them a reason to search further and hopefully find something. Even if it's not drug related, as long as they can claim the dog alerted which gave them a reason to search, then the evidence is admissable.
@@Lreclusa these cases are not really false positive. aside from "drove through a puddle" part in usual cases there will eventually be drugs found anyway.
Also I think some pooches can indicate surface detection versus deep inside. For example, simple indication means the detected substance is on the surface, trying to scratch the cover means the detected stuff is inside.
@@borisglevrk You'd be surprised how many times a dog alerted and there were no drugs found. The reason I put those in quotes is because they're just lies made up to cover for the false alert, otherwise people will claim the dog isn't fit for duty.
It is absolutely possible for sniffer dogs to legitimately do their job, and do it well. Unfortunately it's much more common for them to look to the handler's body language and signals and alert based on those. If you don't believe a dog would do that, look up the 'counting horse'. The horse could accurately count and do math, and people were amazed by it. A skeptic investigated because he thought the horse's owner was signaling it in some way. Even when the owner wasn't around, the horse knew the answers. So the guy made sure nobody within sight of the horse saw the question, and suddenly the horse couldn't solve it. The horse was watching the reactions of the people around to know when to stop 'counting', so if the people didn't know when it was supposed to stop, neither did the horse. The same happens with drug dogs.
@@borisglevrk look up "clever hans". He was a horse that could "do math". Turns out he was just really good at understanding human behavior and could "answer" based on their reactions. Beyond the very best handler/dog teams, most will end up like Hans, responding to their handler's expectations. They would still alert on genuine drugs, but they'd also alert when people expected them to.
@@borisglevrk A false positive is defined as indicating something as true when it is not
Also, most American money has cocaine residue on it from contact transfer

7:18 - seatbelt discourse.
I disagree with OP here. My brother died last year in a car accident when he was driving home from work. His friend (who was driving) had worn a seatbelt, my brother did not. The friend survived. So yes, seatbelts ARE very important.
The OP didn’t say they weren’t important just that if you don’t put one on it’s your choice. Let’s be real, even if he does pull someone over and fine them for the seatbelt thing said person could easily just not put it on again later and still get in an accident. Hell they even make devices now to stick in the belt buckle so the sensors in the car won’t go off now. I’m sorry that happened to your brother though that’s very unfortunate.
He may have still died if he was wearing one. Unless he was a 200lb 6 ft tall dude, seatbelt safety wasn't designed for him. Seatbelt legislation needs a whole revamp and proper safety belt implemented. The current ones cause as much harm a they save. Its ridiculous that we still let car manufacturers get away with an inferior product that doesn't work for the vast majority of the population.
@@japanesejackalope Seatbelts also keep you from turning into a 100+ pound meat-missile during an accident. And they keep you in your seat, which makes it easier for you to control your vehicle. It's not just your own safety that's at stake here
@@pingidjit he was in a trash truck - he worked with recycling and trash. Seatbelt revamping probably wouldn't have helped. I see your point, though.

Re: seatbelts... yup, from personal experience it is really hard to try to control a vehicle when you are no longer in the drivers seat. After sliding on some ice and hitting the curb, I had slid across the bench seat *and* the passenger, but I still had a hold on the wheel and was steering while getting back to where I could work the brake pedal. We didn't hit anything more due to luck than skill.
that one about the afterparty REALLY sucks, especially because (and this is HEAVILY CIRCUMSTANTIAL and state dependent) but there are some states where if the alcohol is provided by a Parent/Guardian and if it's on a property that is owned by the party involved (which is the more important part), it is actually legal to drink under age. I actually did this myself, family friend is a cop, dropped by to say hello when we (my family) were playin' board games and drinking. i was 19 at the time, and was drinking in front of an on-duty police officer.
It sucks that it sounds like a lot of good people are getting out of law enforcement.
If everyone treats you like garbage for trying to help or do the right thing, you either quit or just quit trying.

Is something which our society needs to work on. The law enforcement are either bound by law or they think of Theo own profits.
In truth we are supposed to work together instead of leaving things out for others to handle. Because truly every single individual is doing the same, leaving the situation.
People might say, it doesn’t concern me, until it will start concerning them.
Banning has never helped. And I feel political forces regardless of their leaning have immense profits to reap from the trade. Hence they aren’t going to bring much of a change regardless.
It's pretty easy to follow things like speeding laws most places. If you yourself don't care about what might happen to your license, why should society do so?
Sure, you get occasional deliberate traps, but 99.999% of the time you are safe if you keep your foot off the gas.
Seatbelts are another one, have a relative who nearly got smashed when somebody flew through his windshield from a head on, lucky the passenger side was empty.
I hope I don't have to explain cellphones, tablets, turn signals, and DUI? Or any other distracted driving?
@@phoenix211245 I meant about lapsed licensing and unable to pay tickets
@@TheAnonymousuchiha1225 Speeding is the NUMBER ONE cause involved in driving fatalities, and has been for decades.
Imho, the consequences for speeding are far, far too light right now, you should automatically have your license suspended for at several months for every single case.
And if the only choice we have is to remove at least part of the potential
k!llers through the law as it is now, it's a good thing.
Would save a lot of lives if people are afraid to push on the gas, or if they are simply removed from the road. Or do you not care for the innocent people and their families said speedsters entirely voluntarily unalive?
@@phoenix211245 I meant about parking tickets, tinted windows, etc.
Not speeding and driving under the influence. Those are serious crimes especially if they’ve been a threat to others on the streets.
@@TheAnonymousuchiha1225 Oh, for a few like parking fines I'd say the time to pay the fine can very well be extended.
Though what do you do if the person still does not pay? Suspend their license, impound their car, lock their accounts, garnish their wages? Or do you create a protected class that can park wherever they want? They will have to pay the fine eventually, not having the fines will create utter chaos, and the fine is generally so low that if you can't save for it in a month, you will never pay it. I haven't seen a fine higher than a few hours of parking anywhere around Europe, Mid East, or Asia so far, and a quick search tells it's around 70usd in New York, so, again, just a few hours of parking.
Tinted windows tbh, is so simple to avoid it's a non-issue. Simply don't tint above the allowed level. Don't know about USA, but in UK it's a max of 25% tint for front, 30% for sides, and illegal to sell anything darker. If you can afford the premium for illegal car mods, you can definitely afford the fine.
5:04 for this story, I think this story doesn’t take place in the US cause where I live in there we have this rule called Safe Harbor meaning that if you turn in something you’re not supposed to have pier to a search you won’t have any disciplinary consequences, you may get a few questions I’m not sure but you won’t get in trouble.
Story 20: The consent laws are a problem that flies under the radar somewhat. I have even heard of a few stories where people were on dating apps and ended up hooking up with girls on there that lied about their age, so the guys in that situation could get charged for violating consent and end up becoming sex offenders. This is one of the most ridiculous way I can imagine someone ending up on the sex offender registry. Leave that for the real sickos out there.
Kinda related thing: I've heard that about 50% of "child-porn" cases are 14 year old guys who have a couple pictures of their gf who, surprise, isn't 18 yet.
For traffic stops, I've found that when I've been let off with a warning it does a lot more to change how i drive than when I've gotten a ticket
8:51 I agree with that. In Germany the speeding ticket "industry" is a giant money grab as it seems, but in Sweden every single radar trap is announced with a sign, because they're there to get people to slow down in dangerous places that don't look obviously dangerous to speed through. And only those that don't give a crap about traffic safety and still speed get a ticket that way.
I would like to add that in Brazil, the same thing happens in regards to the warnings of upcoming radars and the speed limit applied. There is a downside in which in some roads, people will slow down just for the radar, and then proceed to drive at speeds even more dangerous to "make up for the loss of time".
@@ufazig
Well, at least near Växjö does that not really happen as there's a speed trap every 500m or so on one road towards the city XD

"Unintended Consequences"
42:00 isn't real, that's a breaking bad/better call Saul reference
“You can’t feed the ducks.” There’s no ducks in our park anymore, so why is that still a law? Ugh!
The stuff about domestic abuse doesn't seem clear cut and the policy just seems to be to arrest the aggressor and ask questions later. Which kinda makes sense given that you don't know who the abuser is or if the call was done out of spite/ anger. But if that's the case, then no one should be charged until you get both sides of the story and investigate for facts.
These reminded me of that time I went to a club in a very busy, loud and drunk street which I never feel safe in on weekends. I had a kubotan for self defense in my bag and handed it to the bouncer who usually is supposed to call the cops because this is a no weapon zone. I said „I know I can’t have this here and especially not in there but unless you walk me home personally I need this on my way home“. He was super sweet about it and made it his mission to make sure I get my kubotan back for safety even giving detailed description of me to his bouncer coworker. I still think about him.
26:00 DV charges don't result in a cozy prison stay. That gut probably got the shit beat out of him on the regular.
Story 15, as the son of a cop who often befriended the people he arrested, honestly was the one that made the most sense, and while the other stories have merits, this is the only one that I have heard multiple cops grinding their teeth when they have to arrest someone they KNOW because the justice system is more concerned with punishment than it is with reform
10:32 a friend of mine had 3 fingers cut off due to being stoned on majauna on his job. He got them reattached, but it left some intense scars. Marijuana is like alcohol in that regard, don't drive or operate heavy machinery while under it's influence.
On that call for a domestic, someone must be arrested. Just start calling on the cops homes. Also, that seat belts one your body thrashing around the cab can kill your passengers
And people in other cars if you go through the windshields. You basically become a projectile.
Good way to get an 'abuse of 911' violation.
@indrickboreale5463 if they catch you, but either way, it should generate an incident report and dollars to donuts it wouldn't include an arrest of one of the people. This means that it can be inquiries why the cops are giving each other preferential treatment. Also, 50 50 they will show up to the actual dv scene. Cops have an unfortunately high rate of dv.
Story 6: It's wild to me that you suspend someones license to drive for other reasons than them being unfit to drive. In the US this is especially problematic, since you often just can't live without a car. Suspending someones license for driving infractions that are dangerous to the public. (speeding, running reds, DUI) that makes sense. But being too poor to pay a ticket? Also when the fine does not depend on your income, a normal fine becomes unjust punishment for a poor person and meaningless for a rich person. For a rich person illegal parking does not bring the risk of being punished by a 100$ ticket, thats just what it costs to park wherever you want.
Take it from an EMT: In addition to what you said, it’s not just ‘oh if you want a new face then fine by me’; not wearing a seatbelt in an accident *will* fuck up your life. Yes everyone’s got that story of the uncle or friend or friend’s uncle who was saved because he was thrown clear of the car. That *WON’T* happen to you. At best you’re gonna get thrown into the other car you hit and maybe the windshield will cradle you a bit. More than likely you’ll be thrown into something harder, like a tree or a brick wall. But statistically you’re not going to have a frontal impact, it’s gonna be from the side or behind. The forces won’t eject you, but now that steering column is buried in your chest. Even if you survive, recovery can take weeks to months and then you might not be at the level you were at before.
Buckle up. It’s your life. I have never seen an accident where I said, “wow, I’m glad they weren’t wearing their seatbelts!” And no one I know has either.
The area of the state I live in is great when it comes to expired registration. Now if it's like a year past expired then yes they'll pull you over and give you a ticket. However if it's a few months they'll usually keep driving and if they pull you over just tell you to renew when you have the chance. I was one of those people who couldn't afford it at the time and was panicking when I got pulled over. The cop noticed and asked why. I told him and he just said he rarely enforces it if it's half a year. Gave me a warning for speeding and went on his day
wait wtf that first one is identical to a story my dad told me about him when i was younger
I also was heavily abused as a kid and as a result really wanted to be a cop. But quickly decided against it when i started to think a bit more critically about what law enforcement actually was. I cannot do a job where i enforce laws i disagree with. And i can never consider those who do that job and enforce laws they disagree with as good people. Because that means you arrest and affect peoples lives because you are scared to lose your job. And if thats the case then that means their job comes before my rights. I opted to be a truck driver instead and provide an objectively invaluable service to the world.
Until self driving trucks come around and you become obsolete, because you decided protecting people by enforcing good laws made you horrible because there also existed laws you possibly would have to enforce as well.
@@mcarrowtime7095 self driving trucks? I've been driving for almost 15 years. ask me how many self driving trucks I've seen. and yes, when you enforce bad laws such as red flag laws that result in innocent law abiding citizens dying because cops are quick to turn off their thinking caps, you cannot possibly claim that you are protecting and serving we the people.
I have been told by multiple former law enforcement officers and lawyers to never talk to the police. their job to is to look for anything and everything to get you on. these people have literal incentives to further their career through arrests. that doesn't sound heroic at all.
@@RAWTEN and yet in the times when law enforcement in the country was scarce, crime was a rampant issue with no way for most people to solve it.
for every officer enforcing unconstitutional red flag laws, there's an officer taking a cartel member off the street, for every officer harassing a homeless man, there's the officer getting shot trying to arrest a known gang member.
If you leave the policing to the people with no moral qualms about furthering their careers, why are you surprised when the only people taking the jobs are those same people?
and about the trucks, they've been successfully tested on highways much like self-driving cars, and if you're lucky they might not displace you before you're ready to retire, but you never know how fast computational tech will compound on itself.
@mcarrowtime7095 let's say the trucks are successful. You will still need someone behind it to further ensure its safety on the road. And those companies are gonna show you what they wanna show you.
You can't make a case for a good cop when you immediately counter it with an example of a bad one. You wasted time trying to make a point just to cancel it out right after.
When qualified immunity becomes a thing of the past, and more "Good cops" start holding the bad ones accountable, I reserve the right to change my opinion. I don't ever see that happening. You act like cops are out here putting their lives on the line every day when that's not even close to being the case. They don't even make the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the United States. Truckers do, though. There's a book called "rise of the warrior cop" You should read it. It'll give some insight as to how militarized our police have gotten. And shine a light on how little the police care about our rights.
@@RAWTEN what you call "cancelling out good cops" is the opposite, both in the order I was saying it and in the message it was sending. You see it clearly as "there are bad cops for every good cop" because you're already convinced that police as a whole are inherently bad, whereas what I was saying that because you are presupposing about bad police there are examples of good police to counter that Idea.
when qualified immunity is gone, the number of people willing to become police will become nil as police become targets of malicious lawsuits and DA's looking to forward their career by actively putting the police in a bad light so they can say "they're hard on bad cops".
not being in the top ten doesn't mean they aren't risking their lives every day, they're risking their lives every time they stop a car it just happens that bullet proof vests and guns are better at protecting against getting shot or stabbed than whatever safety systems are in trucks are at preventing their deaths.
It would be very easy for me to find a book that is completely contradictory to yours, because anyone can write a book taking any stance they like.
I agree with Story 13 so much!
EVERYTHING is basically a crime now, and it seems like the state will jail you over the pettiest thing.
Not everything needs to be solved with a jail cell.
This thread was full of wonderful people. Despite that, I still find myself being wary of cops simply because the possibility and precedent are there for them to be power-tripping assholes.
over here in Australia there a law where your car needs to be "fit for roadworthiness"
That means you can't have slicks, you can't have half your exhaust pipe missing, you can't be leaking oil and you can't have damage on the front that would "lead to substantial injury to a pedestrian"
Cops only pull those over that they have a vendetta for, or those that obviously aren't roadworthy, you have a 30 year old car that's blowing a little smoke? meh, it's cold out.
But for the more serious safety and obvious ones including no exhaust, they really don't bother.
Why? well, because most of those beaters are driven by pensioners, the poor, can you imagine giving them a defect notice on their car for something that they can't afford PLUS demand it fixed within 30 days and PLUS you have to take it down to "the pits" which is an inspection site for commercial vehicles and defected vehicles... they won't miss a thing, if they pull you over and ask you to pop the hood when your car is over 10 years old... I assure you your car is destined for the junkyard at that point.
Which is why most cops in Australia just ignore it... to the point where one even pushed my car into the parking lot of a shopping center while my car was leaking oil and the air filter was blown across the engine bay... ah, good guy don't know his name, don't want to name him
In Brazil the situation is very similar. But there is one more thing: While cops can handle SOME traffic situations, there is another public (government) department that specifically deals with traffic laws, and traffic laws only. They are the ones that will issue tickets and handle these "minor issues". Naturally bigger operations and pursuits are handled by the police, but not minor traffic violations.
So unless it's your average power trip corrupt cop, it's far less likely that armed policeman will handle minor issues. And several cops straight up ignore some traffic violations right in front of them (sometimes even in cases where they technically should do something).
Thanks for calling out the seatbelt thing!
42:10 I don't know how it is in Canada but here in the US you don't need the victim to "press charges" to prosecute at all. That's actually up to the prosecutor and in some cases a grand jury alongside the prosecutor. It will make it more difficult to prosecute if the victim won't testify willingly or is willing to lie under oath, but if the evidence is strong enough then a conviction can happen regardless.
7:15 our former town mayor once called the cops on a homeless man that poured a bottle of water over his head in the summer heat to cool off. Because he was shirtless she claimed he was bathing, he got arrested. She also used a lot of tax funds to put large boulders where the homeless tended to congregate and sleep. The current mayor put in a tent camp for the homeless right next to this area 😂
A few years earlier.. I live in the UK and I was growing 4 cannabis plants. I forgot why but I ended up with 2 Police Officers in my flat. I was shaking out of fear and they asked me if I was okay and they offered to make me a Bru.
So, they went into the Kitchen (where my plants where in the cupboard) and put the Kettle on. The Police said, ''is stinks of weed in here'' so I said yeah, I've smoked a joint in there earlier.
I went to the toilet (still shaking) and I was sure I was about to get arrested but when I entered the living room they just handed me the Bru.
All they had to do was open the cupboard and boom. Because of the smell they legally had the right to open the cupboard but they didn't. (or they did but stayed quiet)
I think the Officers knew but they let it go because they knew what else I was dealing with.
Probably the closest call I've ever had.
Respect to the Police Officers for prioritising my Mental Health. 🙃

36:27 fun story- one time, I was driving my mom and I (in her car) to Buffalo. I had had to convince her to keep the planned trip to see her sister (who’s also her best friend) even though it was only a couple weeks after my dad had died. But I knew it would be good for her, so I got her to agree to still going, partially on the condition that I drive or help her drive. Anyway, point is we were both kinda going through it.
Now, My mom’s Cadillac was a LOT nicer than my old beater, and therefore a much smoother ride than I’m used to. I also didn’t have cruise control on my regular car, so I had gotten out of the habit of using it. So we’re tooling along, just chatting and such, and suddenly we get pulled over. I’m in the left lane (the passing lane), but not going that much faster than the cars I’m passing.
So right off the bat I’m rattled, bc I don’t know how to pull over in the left lane of a four-lane highway. I was afraid he’d think I was running if I kept driving and shifted over four lanes, so I tried to pull over in the center strip. That was NOT the right move, apparently 😂 once he got me pulled over, he told us we were doing 100 mph, which we were both visibly SHOCKED to hear haha.
Between our obvious shock & apologies, and (probably) the fact that I was a 20-something young woman and my mom looked maybe in her early 40s (people always think we’re sisters), the guy decided not to write a ticket for the speed we were going. Apparently it would be a FELONY bc it was more than 30 over the speed limit 😅 but he had to give a ticket to justify pulling us over, so he looked the car over, saw that my mom had one of those plate borders, and wrote a ticket for that instead 😂😂😂
>marijuana is a harmless drug

>I can quit any time I want I just don't want to
you can quit any time you want; THC is not capable of causing a chemical addiction because it does not alter the production or application of any hormone, which is why addictions occur.
@@reaganeidemiller7132 Actually, it's called willpower
So many addicts don't go clean because they don't have the willpower to resist the idea of being far away and blissfully unaware, because the drugs made their real lives shit
A lot of laws especially older ones are left of to the cops discretion, you don't always have to enforce the law you can issue warnings
In the US in MOST states roadside brethalyzers are used in court cases as evidence for conviction of a DUI. Also, in many states refusing a chemical test not only gets you arrested, but is also an automatic license suspension. The amount of time of suspension varies. If you can beat a DUI conviction you can get it back but it usually still costs reinstatement fees.

Lol the breaking bad story snuck in
A highway on my commite has 45mph limit and people drive 60-70. Thats roughly 50% over the limit but its the flow of traffic for how that road is designed.
the 3rd one about bars and minors getting in is a BIG double edged sword. yes its better they drink in a supervised place with laws enforced by bartenders/ security, drinks that are SAFER then in a chaotic house party environment (but still not 100% safe cause people suck)etc
BUT if someone is in the club the assumption may be that they are of legal age to be there. once intoxicated ones better judgement may fail and assumptions can be made and they could bring someone home for a one night stand and end up in jail for statutory AND permanently on a register that will affect the rest of their life. so it only works if they are keeping a REAL CLOSE EYE on those who used fake IDs and ensuring they do not leave with anyone inappropriate/get sent home in a taxi or uber or family member/freind etc.
Having said that, if you take home someone from a bar, its on you to make sure they are A able to consent, B legally capable of consenting, C of age to consent. (intoxciated/high/underage are all instant STOP DO NOT CONTINUE)
(my comment turned into a wall of text cause i felt the need to justify/explain my point >.>)
I'm in Texas, so weed isn't legal for recreational use, but where I live, the police don't give a care as long as you're not bothering anyone.

I was so scared I was gonna go to jail, but they just told us to have fun and to not bother anyone, and went on their way.

My mother worked as a taxi dispatcher in a small town in New Zealand when she was in her teens. She didnt have a drivers licence at the time. One of the drivers was drunk when turning up to work driving a taxi. Police would turn a blind eye for her driving the taxi because they knew it was better for her to be driving than for him to be driving. She had to do it many times.
How the hell did that guy keep his job?! Seriously showing to work as a driver drunk?! Wtf?! I mean while i absolutely respect your mother for what she did and the cops that let it slide, she shouldn't have been put in that position
So fun fact! Canada doesn't technically have Romeo and Juliet laws, there's no real need because our consent laws are longer than a number. Canada's consent laws include provisions for 12 -18 with hard limits and even some broader rules. 12/13, 14/15, 16/17 and 18 and up each have their own section of the consent laws and yes 18 and up is basically just "It's fine."
Technically this is a "Close in age exception" but last time I looked at the laws it didn't say that, articles about them do though. Basically if a kids 15? Anyone from 13 - 20 with them is okay, with certain exceptions. 12/13 get a two year bump, 14/15 a five year and 16/17 don't have an age limit except when a judge decides they do actually, that's when a judge decides the age gap is big enough to count as a position of authority.
Story 65 has to be one of the worst cases of criminalizing poor people that I have ever heard of.
The domestic violence thing. Ugh. Its pretty awful. I got arrested for domestic violence in July 2022 because my partner had a psychotic episode. We were staying in a motel at the time so of course if she broke stuff in the room i would be financially liable. So i tried to restrain her and calm her down the best i could. Unfortunately her perceptions were warped and she perceived this as an attack and struggled really badly against me. The asshole next door called it in as a domestic assault and the cops HAD to arrest me based on her testimony. Wouldnt hear the mental health aspect of the issue and basically lost me my job, screwed her over, and legally i shouldnt have been in contact with her anymore. She was totally financially dependant on me so I had to deal with th constant fear of getting thrown in jail as I continued to support her. The charges got thrown out because she refused to cooperate with the DA and everything resolved itself, but i cant get a lot of jobs even the most basic entry level fast food stuff now. Just because I have a violent arrest on my record. That stuff isnt a joke; wish cops could use a bit more discretion on those issues.
It doesn't make sense for an arrest without a conviction to be on your record. Have you checked with a lawyer to see if there is an avenue to getting it stricken from the record?
@@Lreclusa it really doesn't! Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?? It can get expunged but of course it's a whole process I have to pay for and file paperwork to get done. Currently been getting by ok without needing to, but it's something I would like to handle in the future.

26:45 so in my country, there's 4 speed limits for drivers
50 kmh inside a populated area
90 kmh between populated areas (from city to city for example)
110 kmh on "fake highways" (these are kinda like highways but they do not have tollbooths)
130 kmh on highways
so if the traffic signs don't say otherwise this is the rule for speed limits
almost nobody follows that perfectly, everyone goes around 10-20 over the limit
I was getting my license 2 years ago and my instructor literally said as we were driving in between areas that even tho I should drive 85 max, she would easily drive 100 here because that 10 doesn't hurt anyone, but it saves a bit of time, and in a world where nobody has any time, getting home 5 minutes earlier is a massive boost to your mental health
and that's the norm too. I'm a shaky driver because I haven't needed a car yet, but most people I drive with go slightly above the limit everywhere
Okay, yeah I'm with you on the MN law comment. How on earth would encouraging someone to take their own life ever be a "thought crime"? If you are telling someone to do something, that is an action. (There is a conversation to be had about if someone is terminally ill, but I'm talking about cases they're not.)
For the first story, if you come into my house you may not leave. Here in Canada we have 0 rights to protect ourselves in our homes but idgaf, I’ll protect my family and sit in jail the rest my life if it means they’re ok.
Had a close friend arrested because her abusive bf(ex now thank gods) hit himself multiple times in the head with his knuckles, and had his mom call the cops on my friend. The cops could see no damage on her hands, but had to arrest her anyways. We bailed her out and found out the story. That's such a bs law
About the tint, I think there should be a way to make it legal to have higher tint if you have issues with your eyes. My eyes are so sensitive to light that I can’t see or look up at all when it’s sunny. I don’t drive but I bet there are those who drive who struggle with the same issue and could benefit from tint.
I wish you could get a medical exemption. I have issues with photo sensitivity, and I'm allergic to the sun (I am being fully unironic. Too much uv exposure makes me break out in hives everywhere but my face). I wish I could tint my windows deeper so I don't have to constantly wear long sleeves and gloves.

I only had good encounters with cops, they got me 4 times with a lit spliff in my hand before weed was legalized here, and they always let me go without even taking my weed away or noting my details.
To be fair I never drive under influence and never did, so the cops always found me on foot and had no reason to think I would drive and be a danger to anyone

Reasonable force is defined in police policy
Drug sniffing dogs have a 55-64% accuracy rate inspecting inside and outside cars. However they do ever have a 83% accuracy and 5% inaccuracy when indoors. A lot of people like to say “oh they just want a reward” however that is not usually the case, it’s more likely the fact that the scent of drugs can last 48hrs after the source is removed.
So I understand why people wouldn’t like using them.
Story 28: If you went to jail and did your time, you shouldn't be continued to have punishment after that. You DID the punishment. I so strongly disagree (with very few exceptions) about jail time influencing job prospects. It just adds injury and more useless penalty to many honest people.

If a violation of the a law is a fine, it is a law to punish the poor.
Depends. Over here, more expensive fines are typically in "day-fines", that is, depending on how much you earn per day. So you get fined so many days, and if you're poor, that's a lot less money than when you're rich ... well, middle class, the rich can manipulate the numbers to make their actual income disappear. More common with taxes. But that's mainly it gets tricky to find a way to apply this fairly to the very rich, because they have so many options for how to arrange their finances.

The Half-Measure story is a quote from Breaking Bad
Hearing these stories is terrifying especially when innocent people are put into jail it makes you feel like you should never ever leave your house unless it’s an emergency and food I don’t want to be then next innocent person put into jail especially when statistics show around the world more innocent people are put into jail than actual criminals.
I'm happy cops understand that weed isn't bad X3
14:32 Tennessee does and most likely the majority of states don't see it as important since the one's that do all follow the same thing.
Story 36 (26:02) - stuff like this needs to be talked about more (although I'd have to say going 50% above a speed limit is past the point of being too dangerous to be tolerated). There is such vitriol over people breaking a speed limit that you'd begin to think that every speeder is going to cause an accident. That isn't even realistic, or we'd be seeing accidents everywhere! And let's not get started over what insurance companies try to trick you into doing when those "discount" programs show up...
There's this thing called "driving with due regard" that a lot of people do especially especially people in rescue work
You're pretty much going fast but your eyes are constantly on what's going on around you so that you are not going to run over if you are not going to hit the person that just slammed on their brakes in front of you and so on and so forth nobody gets hurt and you're not going some stupid mundane speed that's only going to make everybody late
"imagine driving 50mph in a residential 25 zone to see what I mean" no, I don't think I will; 50% over 25 is 37.5, not 50.
The gun one is exactly how it is where I live but teachers don’t freak. It’s hunting season. We’re also a constitutional carry state
Oddly, a neighbor is going through the no contact order thing right now. He is a real piece of work, she ended up pulling a knife in defence (no poky poky that i know of), so she gets charged and he gets no contact. But guess who comes back to live with her?? At that point, I figure he should go (back) to jail.
