Got a warning for no mirrors.

Pissing people off on here doesn't pay the bills. It's fun, but it's not helping the financials.

So help me make sure I'm up to speed - homie got told off by a cop who didn't know the law and now cops are good or bad and also everyone's butthurt. Miss anything?

I'm not butthurt. I am so not butthurt I had to comment about how not butthurt I am. You were talking about me right? The guy who is not butthurt in the least bit.

Who said the flag had a blue line? My comment above was about solidarity with the police and respecting they help stand between order and chaos. But, I should also say, that's as far as that affiliation goes for me...there's a very conservative affiliation there and I want nothing to do with that part of it. In fairness, there is injustice, there are bad cops, and police departments all over America lack important resources. That doesn't stop me from believing most police interactions with civilians are professional and ordinary. Because they are. And in my experience, they have been. Everything an officer has brought to my attention has been my own doing. And every time I've sought an officer's help, I've received the service I pay for. Lucky, I guess? Or, ordinary.

The discussion started as getting pulled over for not having mirrors, and an officer not understanding a nuance of Wisconsin State Law. Pretty minor, if you ask me. I definitely don't see it as a reason to disparage police or doubt that the whole incident was some kind of unlawful harassment by an officer acting outside the scope of his duties. The guy got a warning. And so unfolded 9 pages of bitching.

I was speaking in generalities, not necessarily about this specific event. Police are vital to a civilized society. Most interactions are not violations of rights and valid, of course. However, it only takes one bad cop to ruin many lives. since most agencies know who the problems are but refuse to clean house. My solution; make individual officers get their own insurance. This will render the bad officers uninsurable and thus, unemployable. The city/state(us) need not pay for bad cops again.

You need a better agent.

Which vehicles built in the last 50 years does not have a right side mirror?

My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Willys Sport EcoDiesel does not have a right side mirror, nor does it have a center rear view mirror. In fact I only have a driver side mirror! On top of that it didn't come with front sway bars either!

I survived just fine for the last 3 years.
A little bit of body roll isn't going to kill you!

All these zoomers now are afraid of living life

This is federal - State laws override this.

No, state laws don't override it. State laws might add their own additional requirements, but they can't reduce those federal requirements.

Yes, the Supremacy Clause is part of our Constitution.

What's that guy doing with his shirt off? And pointing? Why is his body moving like that?

I'll get by, enough folks who take this shit so seriously that honestly the butthurt and whining is its own form of payment.

WISCONSIN: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/safety/enforcement/faqs/default.aspx#:~:text=See Wisconsin Statute 346.88 (3,300 feet to the rear.

May I operate without a rear view mirror?

No, there must be a rear view mirror located inside or outside the vehicle, or both. Side mirrors are required if you cannot see 300 feet to the rear.

I haven't gotten a ticket in like 5 years.

Do I speed?

No, I would never!

I have a really good habit of ringing out loud my Dixie Horn whenever I pass by Local Smokies or the Staties in my area! I'm pretty sure they all know my Jeep at this point. But I never give them a reason to pull me over, I'm not trying to be too obnoxious about it and blow out their eardrums, but when I'm a good distance away and I see them lights, you know the Dixie Horn will be ringing!

Laws are like those Oriental paper walls, you got to push on them until your hand is about to break through, and then you stop pushing. And then you go find another panel and you do the same. The goal isn't to break through the wall (break the law), you just want to test the boundaries of it!

The secret to breaking laws successfully (this is probably where the no politics header comes in) is visual confusion. If you look like you're not breaking the law most people won't look your way. It's when you look suspicious, or you pass by people doing 110, that you tend to get in trouble. If you're out driving 10 under in the slow lane, being a very polite driver, people tend to forget the hater pipe sticking out of your 3-year-old vehicle, especially if your Jeep has JK turn signal location, JK handles, and a JK grill, no one will know you're not driving a 25-year-old vehicle. They'll just think that's a cool vehicle, what a polite driver!

And then you can Dixie Horn the cops as you pass them in your illegally modified vehicle!


Speaking of which, does anyone know if they sell JK looking handles for the JL? It's my next step to turning my JL into a JK so I can start breaking federal laws!
