No other business would allow you to “ plant “ seeds in the publics mind by saying they can get $$$$ from truckers because we are usually heavily insured and easy targets

Have a friend who was going through a major city with low traffic
Car comes down off ramp and gets in front of him
He changes lanes. They do the same while slowing
Changes again but they follow until he’s slow enough and they slam the brakes
Get out and yell we need $1500!
His insurance paid them to go away

I had a similar ordeal
Had a car hauler. Bottom deck had an F250 hanging off the back flip outs
Some lady comes tearing into a turn around lot I was in and yells I backed into her

I walk to her car and she’s yelling the black marks were from my black trailer
It was grease. She had a broken headlight. Grill. Bumper etc

Cops show up and they’re looking at my trailer and there were no marks. Checked the road and no broken pieces
So I ask her to drive up to my trailer so the cops can see where I hit her
She does and about 3’ before she would have made contact the bumper from the truck would have gone through her windshield

I had a report as proof for my insurance but they gave her like $1500-2000.
Said it was cheaper than potential other issue but wouldn’t go on my record

This is why cameras are being pushed so hard

That is unarmed robbery.
