    There was an episode on Law and Order where a suspicious trucker with the odor of weed had the cops called on him. Turned out that they cracked a cold case and nabbed the notorious serial axe murderer.

    That was called for! I subscribe to his channel. He is proud to be a snitch. I can't stand the preachiness of snitches.

    As was said before, in this thread (in not so many words). If we don't police ourselves. The police CERTAINLY will.
    He should have been turned in.

    If we want a better reputation. We need to work at it. That includes "snitching" on others who are breaking the law and violating restrictions. Let the powers that be decide what happens to the violators.

    About snitching an such...I've never done it myself, but once I said here that if someone urinates out the window onto a parking lot at Walmart, calling authorities would be the right action to do...but frankly I don't think I could bring myself to do it, but would not mind if someone else would.... However, there is a difference between the act of vandalism and potential harm by smoking weed. What's next? You see a guy buying a can of beer at Pilot and you need to call too....?

    I have no problem calling the cops on a driver who is obviously impaired driving down the road. Not while he is sitting in the bar.

    Total agree with this. Off duty is nobody's business. On duty and being an obvious hazard? That's another story.

    When you're not breaking the law and giving all truckers a bad name. I don't care what you're doing.
    But if we can't keep our own under control.
    How can we expect to renew our previous reputation of the kings of the road.

    How is that the left puts it? Oh yeah. The needs of the many out weigh those of the few.
