No. Just no. It’s his personal car. His “friend” knew god damned well it had a Hellcat engine in it when he got behind the wheel.

2-seat aircraft typically have multiple modes for ejection seats for exactly this reason. When there are two trained crew members in the cockpit, they typically operate in the mode where either ejection handle fires both seats. When the rear seat is occupied by a civilian or other non-aviator VIP, they set the seats…

As someone who commutes into NYC (not Manhattan though) from Long Island, I completely agree. People from the suburbs ARE the exact demographic the tax is targeting.

I believe it’s New Jersey. The dealer told me he had to zip tie the front bracket on my 08 C6 Corvette and that I totally, definitely, unequivocally was NOT advised to drive it off the lot and stop down the block to clip the zip ties off. 

Cops on patrol are very much NOT always driving around at the speed limit daring people to pass them. I can tell you with complete certainty that that is MOSTLY an irrational fear of the motoring public.

He can unfortunately. If he is a “custodian or agent” of the property, he can technically demand someone leave for just about any stupid, probably racist reason he can come up with. The law requires the police to remove the person or take enforcement action.

This security guard is pathetic. The nonsense badge and handcuff case clipped to his belt are really sad indicators of how badly he wants to be perceived as a cop and how happy he is to fuck up someone’s evening because he lacks any actual police power (or even a crime to “investigate” in this case).

Says guy who has probably never done any “real police work” and likely has precisely zero idea what that actually entails.

You thought that because the author of this article decided to cast doubt upon the drugs by randomly using the words “claimed to find” for no reason I can see.

Translation: Well I’VE never been the victim of a crime so....

Driving through a toll plaza that uses license plate reader cameras to detect cars without EZ Passes WITHOUT license plates is theft of service. You’re not paying the toll through the EZ Pass and you’re making it impossible to bill you by billing you at your registration address.

You’re spinning that pretty hard. The tool is used to break into the phone after a JUDGE has deemed it reasonable in order to gather evidence of a crime. If the tool is used in a warrantless search, anything found would be inadmissible in court.

“I spent enough time as a lawyer”

You really think the police thought a multi-millionaire was driving around in a STOLEN quarter million dollar supercar that he could easily pay for in cash?

90% of the ones Lincoln DID sell are in NYC. They're all black and they all have taxi plates on them.

It sounds like we may have the same job....

That’s sort of WHY it can really only be settled civilly. Think about what you just said....”a corporation committed the theft.” You can’t really punish a non-human entity in the typical criminal manner (ie: incarceration)

The PI sedans are TERRIBLE with a partition. You don’t want to be folded into the back of one of those. I can’t believe how large those cars are and how small they are inside (both front and back seats).

From experience I can tell you these are NOT fun to drive much over 100. While i use a base, non-turbo V6 PI utility, i can tell you they’re not real happy maneuvering at high speed. I work in a densely populated city so it doesn’t really matter but if I was a highway cop, I think I’d much prefer the charger or PI…

While I completely agree that the irrational desire to sit up higher is stupid, there’s one reason tiny SUVs continue to thrive that you didn’t address. It’s the reason my wife and I ended up buying her a brand new Mazda CX-3 instead of the 3 hatchback she originally thought she wanted.
