Hmmm. Well it explicitly says that it comes installed on the device, but I guess I'll find out when it arrives tomorrow (or maybe today, if I'm lucky? That happens sometimes).

I'd like to do a little history on the origin of the 25-year rule, actually.

What's interesting is the SCOTUS has already ruled there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" for LEOs when outside, which should mean the cops have no grounds to confiscate anyone's phone.

But is skim really milk? #teamwholemilk

But but but...

Could you guys do a series on this ? Like in-depth articles, and pointing out what we (enthusiasts) can do to combat this bullshit law?

IDK, out here the ACLU is resorting to lawsuit to protect that very right.

My stomach every time I drink a glass of milk.

The 8 red velvet Oreos I just ate would like to VEHEMENTLY disagree with your analysis.

Some importers try to skirt these rules, illegally, by swapping the VIN from an older car onto a newer one. That's what federal officials allege happened with a 2000 Mini Cooper in New Jersey in December; they claim that car had a 1988 VIN plate that belied its modern stereo and airbags, which is why they had to crush…

It doesn't. The Fed was just making shit up.

And some of the upgrades on these Defenders to make them safer and cleaner—more modern engines, newer parts—are being adduced as evidence against the cars.

1) This is a great, informative article. Thank you for the effort put into it.

A while back a White House petition was created to remove the 25 year import law, but it never gained enough publicity or steam so it fell short. If we got enough publicity through Jalopnik, and other sites, perhaps we could get something going. Of course they might dismiss the whole thing, giving us the usual its for…

Around 6 a.m. that same day in Yakima, Wash., and Mobile, Ala., Homeland Security agents and police came to the homes of Mike Rodeiger and Jack Montgomery, respectively, with warrants that ordered more truck seizures. Montgomery, an attorney, said they threatened to arrest him for obstruction of justice if he or his…

They are military grade vehicles that are still in use by many NATO countries. It was only just recently that the Army Rangers gave up their 'Ranger tactical vehicles' that were topless Defenders that were bristling with armament.

No civilian needs that kind of military equipment. Unless it is built and/or…

So proud that we have someone who is both a doctor and a judge on staff.

I'm really glad we've spent so much taxpayer money defending (haha get it?) our citizens from these dangerous foreign vehicles.

This whole thing is unnecessary bullshit. What needs to be done to change the law - other than writing to your congressman ?

So sad.
