This tiny Florida town has 477 residents, but it has almost 20 cops writing tickets nonstop. That's one cop for every 25 people. And even with huge cash flow, the city still runs at a deficit, and a mountain of cash has disappeared. The people are recognizing that the entire government is...
Hans Monderman, a traffic engineer, proposed an innovative paradigm for traffic safety: Fewer rules.
A few years back he designed an intersection in the large town of Drechten in The Netherlands that relied on this principle.<br>
This intersection is used by roughly 20,000 drivers per...
Isn't this just lovely. Be nice to know if any of TN finest are against this at all.

These things make my stomach hurt as it seems these things are thrown out there as trial balloons for future legislation. This "for the children" stuff is getting...
In some Georgia counties, as well as other counties throughout the USA, drivers are getting their blood forcibly stolen from them. As shown in this video, every driver who refuses to give the police a blow at an unconstitutional checkpoint, is strapped to a table, put into a headlock by a...
Our local county sheriff dept just posted on their facebook page that they will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint on a certain date.
This immediately turned into a huge discussion on the legality of such an operation.
What's ingo's opinion? Violation of 4th amendment? I know courts have...
An Arizona Court of Appeals has taken the position that it is legal to give drivers a DUI if they ingested marijuana weeks earlier. Police can use blood tests to test for marijuana and 'its metabolite,' which can remain detectable in the body for around 4 weeks, and holds no bearing on...
Quick question for you respectable LEO's & anyone else that is an authority.
Is it lawful to pull someone over SOLELY for the reason of not wearing a seat belt?
I realize it is the law, it is my personal belief it is a bad law & has no place in the USA.
Saw this is the local rag today, I guess we don't have enough laws on the books already. Some people are just never satisfied with what they have, and feel the need to clamp down even harder. Before long, I guess listening to your car stereo will be against the kings law.
Police call for tougher...

So here's my question. Can a LEO rightfully take possesion of your firearm during a traffic stop? Yes you have your LTCH and lets say your gun is not in sight. He asks if there are any weapons in the car right off the bat when he walks up. You don't know why your being pulled over. (Not...
They reject our society, don't pay our taxes, and break our laws. They ride around in gangs, dressed alike, in their 2-horsepower anarchy wagons. Finally they will get the chance to learn about American values from their experience being arrested and thrown in cages with other criminals...
If you are the uniformed officer who was driving a white, Ford, unmarked car with a license number ending in 061, east bound in the 7500 block of West 10th street, near Fulton Jr. High, at about 1:25 PM on 9/6/11, you were traveling 35-40 MPH in a school zone that is posted at 25 MPH.

No, not their death row machine, the speed limits on their highways. For once they've actually done something cool in Texas. They've upped the speed limit to 85 on those ungodly long highways that go across the state. It won't take effect immediately, but it's a start. Kudos to them!
