The attitude that Y2k wasn’t ever a big deal

This is about FOUR DOOR cars. Two doors are not expected to have roll-down windows in the back. A four-door is.

Then again, it may be just that I’m very attuned to coverage of the leaded vs. unleaded debate given my fascination with the Lead-crime hypothesis:

Who cares what they call it? I’m just happy it exists.
Also, there are 2-door hardtops, and 4-door hardtops, why get pissy over a 4-door shooting brake?

LIKE, but not for almost $20,000 and that much mileage and age. Zero dice.

I will be off for the next two days and hence there will be no NPOND on Thursday or Friday. 

We also have a name: Solterra.

That’s a beautifully preserved Camry.

I believe the proper form is “camaraderie.”

It’s nice. Like $5k nice.

It would take a maniac to pay that much. But I bet someone will do it eventually.

Jeebus! What kind of drugs is the seller on? No way this is worth more than (maybe) HALF the asking price.

Oh I agree completely - as long as police unions are as strong as they are, no real change is going to result.  And that’s not just in how they’re monitored...

Yeah, I agree completely - I tried to think of some ‘triggering’ events that would capture all possibilities of abuse, and I really couldn’t think of anything.  There are just so many ways that a copy can misbehave. 

Ohhh I’m sorry, I see what you’re saying. Event happens - - > cop voluntarily turns on camera. Apologies, I missed that part.

it should be an automatic tampering with evidence

It means they can’t rely on their body camera’s being off. Crashed your car and you can’t show why? The presumption is you were doing something wrong. Shot a kid and want to claim it was self-defense? No camera footage means the presumption is you weren’t acting in self-defense.

The way around that is to simply amend the law so that, if anything ‘significant’ happens on shift - like a shooting, a car accident, etc. etc. - if the body camera is ‘off’, it’s an automatic adverse inference that they had something to hide.

I keep seeing, “the officer didn’t turn on their bodycam,” and shouting to the heavens that this shouldn’t be a sentence that’s ever uttered. The only practical rebuttal against having bodycams always on is maybe storage concerns. The requirements for storing hundreds (and more likely thousands in a big city) of…

Indeed. It depends on where you live, and on your “boiled frog” tolerance for a windshield that isn’t cracked or badly chipped but has slowly degraded due to micro-pitting, in ways that only bother you when the sun is just right.
