“This blind allegiance is a sad commentary on peoples inability to think critically and actually reason to an opinion.”

As a cyclist, I’ve actually been excited about self-driving cars because how could they be as bad as human motorists? And now I see: just as bad, with their own cheerleading squad.

That would confuse the lifted coal-rolling brigade:

The scariest part is how quickly the driver turns to justifying what happened. That level of blind support for anything is a commentary on so much of what is happening around us... on either side of any issue.

The single seat Metro does kind of kick ass though.

“She also appeared to be reporting from the side of the road without any reflective clothing.”

My little 700-resident town got a HUMMVEE for “rescue” operations. 

If that doesn’t scream police state I don’t know what does.

They probably got it for free and now require fees to cover the maintenance.

The fact that this is parked at a Community Center is especially insidious....

This pretty much says it all. Remember, this is a town with fewer than 1,500 residents.

Um, the US is a third world country.

Sounds like a 3rd world country.

And probably have no hope of winning said lawsuit.

Well, the Supreme Court has already decided that flashing headlights is covered by the First Amendment. I hope that can get sorted pretty quickly. Otherwise, I hope they get disincorporated and some people in power go to jail like in that speed trap town in Ohio.

The forfeitures numbers are terrifying. Imagine you are on a family vacation and some small town cop decides your car and all your stuff is now their property and you have to sue to get it back. 

I deleted my FB account and have been frequenting forums again.  I find it refreshing.
