Hey! All you LEOs/OHP Guys.........

[JokerofDeath]

I’d rather them go after expired temp tags, those overloaded trucks hauling pallets and busted rock haulers

Better question is why in the hell the Ok. gov let them in in the first place(rhetorical). They bring their cartel money up here and buy wrecked cars from the auctions with no license while all the local small business guys have to comply with state laws. They managed to ruin the entire salvage industry just so insurance companies would have access to their cash.

So the cartel is into buying wrecked cars now? I learned something today and WOW, what a stretch.

It is called "free enterprise" and the state can't regulate interstate/national business. That is written in a cool document called the US Constitution, specifically the Commerce Clause.

They are pulling those cars illegally period. Ball to ball is illegal as well as the pull vehicle is not tagged commercial, as they are in the commerce business. Most of what you see will even go all the way to Honduras.

What needs to happen is stop them for the illegality and impound. They are a menace to society, they cannot stop and are involved in accidents a lot.

Why would they care about adding theatrical legitimacy when all it really adds is cost?

I was just saying. Good question, though. Appearances sometimes do make a difference, and blending in is gotta help alleviate questions about what they are up to. Plus, moving six or eight cars at once must have some financial advantages. Otherwise all the automakers around the world would do the pickup truck hauling two cars around instead of the car carriers.

If it is regulation, it should apply to all.

The mileage on a new car counts a lot more, plus the automakers are moving thousands of cars every day, so it makes financial sense for them to move their vehicles by rail and by car carrier. When dealers are moving used cars around, they do use carriers, but they also move a lot of them in caravans. My folks did a little bit of that for Reynolds Ford; Reynolds would get a bunch of people in a van, take them to where the cars were (like the big auctions in DFW), and have them drive the vehicles back to Norman.

And appearances only make a difference if you give a flip what other people think.

I don't really GAS what other people think. Those other people might, though.

If law enforcement uses a particular tactic to catch “violators”, then every citizen ought to employ tactics to defeat that.

Criminalizing a radar detector, body armor, police scanners is just an another act to further divide one class from another. Those who are entitled to such and those who are subject to such.

Completely agree!

 

[Russ IT Guy]

To add to this- we have an officer here who literally writes tickets solely based on his feelings/opinions.
Completely worthless

And this is why many people don't feel police should defunded, on the same hand there's no reason citizens should fear the Leo like they do. It should be the other way around as we pay their salaries. IMO they have way too much authority over citizens, need to go back to being peace officers instead of militant police officers.
