Just some of the stupid things I see

As long as the guys with the badges read and understand it as well.

 

Nothing.

Its part of the judicial branch's function to interpret the law as applied to specific instances. If the people and their representatives don't like the way the law is being applied, then they have the option of inititiating legislation that more suits their taste.

 

Sounds like we have seen both sides of the situation. I am a former driver who is now a LEO.

The letter of the law is exactly that. Whether or not a person is in violation of the law is the black and white part.

The enforcement action (warning/citation/silver bracelets) is usually left up to officer discretion and may be based on circumstance. As for me, you are likely not going to get a citation for a clearance light out. But, you are likely not going to get a warning for a false log book.

 

Oh, I agree.

No need to be a #*@! No matter who you are!

 

Was hauling a load of munitions from Camp Pendleton to Hawthorne, NV years ago.
Up 395. Just after I reached the point where it opens to four lanes and a very wide median, I saw a CHP officer running south, looking over at me.
I looked down and saw my speed...81mph!
I pulled over as he cut across the median and finally came up behind me.
First thing he said was, "Well, I want to thank you for not making me chase you clear to Bishop."
"No sense", I said. "I saw you, then looked down at my speedo and figured my goose was cooked."
He went and ran my license, came back and said, "moment of truth. How fast were you going?"
"I'm not sure. When I saw you, I hit my brakes and when I looked down, it read 81."
"close enough. I have you at 83."
He handed me back my paperwork and told me to slow down. If he caught me again, he'd throw the book.
And I slowed down!
Good thing he never asked to see my manifest!
I never sped up that road again.

 

Funny how some cops are understanding and others are Buford T Justice. I have NEVER gotten a speeding ticket when I knew I was speeding. It's always when I'm just riding along listening to the radio or daydreaming (both of those will soon be outlawed in the interest of safety)

 

Oh mine had cruise control. I was just in a go fast mood.

 

What about a real log book with false information?


Got to bring in a little levity.
