People watch too many TV shows, also your recommendations are all counter to each other. This is a tragic situation where everyone is to blame, but the idea that the officer can have his gun trained for a kill shot, and fire off a warning shot, then reacquire the target for a kill shot if needed is silly.

Blasphemy! Elon is your god, and you shall have no other gods befor him!

I had the Echo based first gen Prius. It WAS a fine car, and quite simply the cheapest car to run that I had ever owned. I loved it, despite being fleet white over rental car grey, with only the mileage screen giving that car any semblance of “fun”. Now that said, the problem with the Prius, wasn’t the Prius. It was…

eh... never really hated the prius... just the owners (and no i dont mean the normal ones)

“Though there’s no specific ordinance against the tank...”

Once you reach a certain age, pitching a tent gets harder and harder.

Besides making money for MB, there’s really no reason for that contraption to exist. Or for Brabus to mod it.

This article has as many assholes on the renters’ side as it does the rental agency side.

I fly a Calico Jack flag on a RHIB and I am getting yelled at in the goat locker. These fuckers fly it on the sub and its all “Hey history! Fun time news from the Navy!” Such horseshit. I was not REALLY going to pillage the yacht.

Agreed. No one asked you...

That’s NOT snow.

Am I the only one to notice how basically every article that discusses “work” assumes that literally every human works in an office? Sure you can say that men shouldn’t wear shorts to work- if they work in an air- conditioned office. Tell me I shouldn’t be wearing shorts while building an outdoor concert stage in the…

Not to side with the border patrol (ugh...), but I do believe that at these checkpoints literally every car on the road funnels through the checkpoint and is required to stop. The agent asks you his/her question and then you go on your way. It’s like when you enter California on I-5 and the CHP asks every single…

She probably had lots of motorists flipping her off as they passed her leaving the checkpoint. My boss didn’t know these things existed and flipped out when I told him about them. The people bitching about them here probably don’t know that some of these checkpoints have been around longer than they’ve been alive.

Unfortunately in the Trump era

I live in El Paso and always pass through these stations on our frequent road trips and this is exactly how it always plays out. This lady was just looking for an argument. She was not standing up for a cause, she was not being a champion for the American Citizens. She just wanted a story to tell her other teacher…

This border patrol agent actually seemed quite nice, he told her what he was doing, showed her the Supreme Court of the United States approved this authority, and continually requested the information from her that was needed. She chose to be difficult and was detained and eventually allowed to go on her way. The only…

This is exactly what they do. They do a quick read on the driver’s behavior to see if they are acting suspicious. If you play it cool, you’re off on your way in a few seconds.

The last time I went through the one on I-10 east of El Paso, they didn’t look at any form of identification.

Or they’re just gross assholes with zero common sense.
