[quote][/quote]Uh what now? Funny how things change. I remember when this issue was huge on the debates. Still wouldn't do this anyway. Well, maybe I would if the cop.. ohh I don't know for example one time... ALMOST 'T-BONED' MY CAR. Or even CUT ME OFF TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONLY WHEN HE WASN'T EVEN IN THE TURN LANE.
Side note, I can't believe I posted this news article BEFORE Recon. WOO!
Thoughts on this new appeal by courts?

Now we wait until they make flashing your lights to signal a cop up ahead legal. My state is scared that this will pass.

Don't understand how this was ever even a thought. Just like filming them, we have every right to express our hatred of them with bodily gestures. Should them screaming at us be illegal?

ITT People hate on cops because clearly all cops should get flipped off constantly.

Well me and I'm sure others too respect police and know how dangerous speeding is in some situations even though we race in our backyards. If the cops are writing someone up then it means the driver was endangering others and just being a general idiot on the road

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] County Bear If the cops are writing someone up then it means the driver was endangering others and just being a general idiot on the road[/quote] That is often times not the case. Many times speed limits are unbelievably low and speeding CAN sometimes be dangerous, there are plenty of times it's not. We should ban reckless driving, not speeding. Also, respect has to be earned.

Stupid. People should respect authority. Flipping them off should be illegal, as should verbal disrespect.

So we shouldn't be allowed to flip anyone off? Check out the first amendment sometime. The government is limited, they get their powers from us, they can not do anything you or I can not do.

I don't see why people would flip off a guy who spends his time making their lives safer.
