I suggest you do a stint on grand jury duty for some perspective on this. Then you'll get a good sense of how police can search and charge folks for things that can't be validated in court and that could have been avoided by simply knowing the rights to which one is entitled.

That doesn't make any sense. You could abide all the laws and still get in trouble with the police. You should read more.

.01%? Oh you sheltered child. It's much higher than that. I've followed the law my whole life, never been convicted of anything. But I've been arrested twice now. Suspicion is all that is required. Not being white is plenty reason for cops to arrest someone, then they let the court defend the reasoning. You still lose…

There are lots of people in jail that didn't break the law. Innocent until proven guilty is an ideal, but the reality is that, once you're in criminal "justice" pipeline, there are many factors biased toward keeping you there. I was once arrested for being in the vicinity of a fight between two strangers when I was…

I believe you here, but if that's the case, that's the DUMBEST thing I've ever heard a place doing.

I'd never risk a window motor just to do something as cool as this.

I have a buddy who has a sound system in his car that costs more than the car and dynamat combined. When we get ice, he just cranks the system and finds a very fast-paced bassy mix, like Prodigy, and just rattles the ice away.

In reality, that's a great way to damage your power window or window crank... or some related part.

Power window motors aren't cheap, after they break from trying to force an ice jam off.

Uh. That's a very good way to rip the glass out of the lifting mechanism. Been there done that.....

Why didn't you roll the windshield down and the same thing? Keep up the useful tips Travis.

Imagine a picture of someone driving a car with this text over it:

Cyclists, commuters in particular, don't run cameras just to troll. They mostly use them because many drivers don't respect their use of the road, even in areas that have clearly marked bike lanes, sharrows, and other signage. Drivers also have this nasty tendency to drive off if they do hit a cyclist. If there is an…

GoPros and the like are becoming common place for motorcyclists and bicyclists to some extend. When you are almost invisible to many motorists sharing the road you need all the evidence you can get to show how oblivious some people are when behind the wheel.

while that image macro is pretty funny, in this particular instance we see no stop sign running or crosswalk use and he's clearly in a bike lane.

Dumb comment. If the cyclist uses his bike to commute to work, then it makes sense that he will ride IN THE BIKE LANE on his way to work after it snows.

I only see one troll and it's not the bike rider. He was in the bike lane.
