Unlikely assumption. Back in the 1950s, civic activists called for public racetracks to be built in more areas, claiming that the hot rodders who competed illegally on the street would cease this activity if they were granted access to a place where they could do it legally. You can guess how effective that was.

My brother worked for a police department in Canada, they had a searchable database of graffiti with who they believed did them, most of it was gang related. 

It’s not legalized. It’s decriminalized. The difference being that the cops won’t stop you, but it’s still your fault if you get hit by a car outside of a crosswalk. It’s a small but important difference. They did the same thing here in Hawai’i, and people here were also given the wrong understanding by articles…

Ohhhh, you got the VIP package. That’s cool and all, but you don’t need to brag about it.  Some of us live within our means, you know.  

Government contracting is a science in and of itself. This fiscal year’s encumbered funds gets a slight mark-up for the next fiscal. Rinse and repeat.

This.  And I hope the tagger is made liable for the additional security now required at the airport.

WTF is wrong with people? I hope the dipshits who did this fall off a bridge and are need of a medivac that won’t happen because this chopper is grounded.

Its California.   They will get a slap on the wrist and finger-wag.  

Seems like somebody gave it their personal tag so should be able to find them for this at least

These darn videogames teaching youngsters the wrong way again:

As someone who wrote RFP responses to state and local governments for speed cameras, red light and parking enforcement, and toll collection systems, I’m shocked the city is getting that much.

For every $50 fine paid, $17 goes to the city, and $33 goes to the camera company.

I honestly don’t like speed cams at all as I don’t think they really do anything, especially when you live close to another state or district (Hello DC!). But the fact that of the $50, the private company gets $33 is just insane. The money should mostly go to the city to then make the school zones safer, until ticket…

Or they’ll try against a late 80's Ford pickup. Judging by my dad’s the wooden brake pads mean you would end up parked in their back seat. Its easy to find some when they never leave because they are trying to remove a chrome bumper from their head.

I don’t condone this sort of vigilante justice, but I won’t condemn it either. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It just seems to me like, the police could end this quickly. When there is a crime (and we get grainy surveillance videos), the public is asked to identify a certain car or suspect. In this case, they not only have both (on non-grainy video to boot), but they have licence plate info as well. This could be shut down,…

I’m sure Ford’s shareholders would rather this dude not gush about the competition, but you know what? Good for him. He’s driving the other guys’ cars and giving them an honest appraisal. I hope this car delivers some lessons for can use on their own offerings.

Small correction to the headline, but Xiaomi doesn’t build it, they contract that to BAIC who are an actual car company that has been around for decades. Still it’s kinda crazy that a smartphone company designed a car, and their first go at it is apparently really good. I wonder how much BAIC helped in that regard.

...whats wrong with stretching my legs while waiting to deplane?

Oh boy do I have a video for you.
