Live on air, I’m OK, said several times

grow up lol

After watching the video, she disobeyed one of the first rules of grizzled cop movies. Never go on an assignment when you've got 1 week left on the job!

I saw a tweet earlier this morning about this story from a retired news anchor. He said that this is a perfect example of how the “One Man Band” system needs to go. This accident may have been avoided if there was someone there behind the camera to see it coming instead of the reporter having to do her own camera…

WVian here - Tim is one of the nicest guys in the area. Does a ton for the community. Apparently he only has a small monitor and couldn’t really make out what happened while it was live. 

Missed opportunity

You can do option B, just don't get in the left lane while parading it.

That quote sounds about white to me...

They probably got it for free and now require fees to cover the maintenance.

The fact that this is parked at a Community Center is especially insidious....

This pretty much says it all. Remember, this is a town with fewer than 1,500 residents.

Mayor Bryan dismissed the complaints of those who must appear in court. “Everybody’s got a story,” he said. “And 99% of them are lying.”

When the survival of a municipality depends on pilfering its own citizens through traffic stops, code violations and the like, it is a sign that it is time to fold operations become unincorporated. I’d be willing to bet the majority of the budget goes to paying salaries and there are crumbs left for anything else.

Well, the Supreme Court has already decided that flashing headlights is covered by the First Amendment. I hope that can get sorted pretty quickly. Otherwise, I hope they get disincorporated and some people in power go to jail like in that speed trap town in Ohio.

The forfeitures numbers are terrifying. Imagine you are on a family vacation and some small town cop decides your car and all your stuff is now their property and you have to sue to get it back. 

Hes probably right.

Just for clarity here, because it threw me for a loop, he is using “B-teams” to mean sister teams, like Alpha Tauri is for Red Bull.  Not as in lower-level, less competitive teams.
