It wouldn’t be a political post without some ignorant clown pretending both sides are the same.

In before all the Tesla fanboys come and tell you how you are dumb, wrong, that windshield wiper controls in a touch screen are actually the best way to handle controlling them (because reasons), people who can’t figure it out are dumb, and you should bow before your new lord Elon Musk

In the US is the key here. Once they cross into canadian waters the laws that apply are canadian laws, which apparently do require vessels with more than 12 passengers or over 8 meters long to have AIS. That’s also something you can google. It’s a fairly new regulation that went into effect a little over a year ago,…

Or perhaps you’re unaware that since the craft in question are in Canada, it’s Canadian Maritime Law that’s applicable, which DOES require transponders for anything over 8 meters in length. Or perhaps you didn’t actually read the part of the article where the source specified the craft entered Canadian waters and THEN…

Can you point out what misinformation this site (Jalopnik) provided?

We really have to stop doing this thing where we assume the stock market has any sort of logic or connection to the actual products of a company.

You’re not: safety equipment is exempt from the budget and required.

They should have renamed it: War Criminal™

I’m thinking Windsor.

I don’t think you understand what free speech means. It means no government censorship. It doesn’t mean no social consequences.

You sound like a balanced individual with a good grasp on modern race politics and social movements.

In this world of shit - where the president is fine with 10s of thousands of needless deaths, and on and on and on - seeing people stand up for justice, to risk their lives for it, is inspirational.  Terrorism is what our shitstain of a president did in DC.  Terrorism is extrajudicial murder with no consequences. etc..

The inability to see systemic racism and to actively defend it makes someone racist.

He called BLM - literally a movement that began as hope that, just maybe, America could assign the same value to Black Lives as they do white ones - a domestic terrorist organization.

I get frustrated sometimes, too, but that frustration has never tempted me to claim that BLM = Domestic Terrorism.

Starred you because I’ve never understood unmarked police cars used for traffic stops. The whole point is safety right? So what do speeding people do when they see marked police cars?  That’s right, slow down.  Unmarked police cars doing traffic stops is about money, pure and simple.

Great post. To add to this, the cars should bright neon or some other high-visibility color. The Police need to be seen as a beacon of light and safety that citizens should feel protected by, not as something dark that skulks in the shadows trying to catch you.

I’m down with this. Plus you could fit a lot more weapons and suspects in the back of a Transit.

Welcome back Mr Foley!

I mean it’s clear to anyone with an ounce of gray matter that the police is essential to any society, and police will need cars to do their jobs. There should be no controversy at this.
