I wonder if these idiots get away with these plates because cops know it's going to be a fucking hassle. SovCits are the brightly colored frogs of the traffic world.

More likely the story is a complete fabrication.

Not talking about this specific post, just wondering if cops don't blow these people off because they know they're getting into a stupid argument.

Cop in the family. One does highways; this is the one who does fire and ambulance also. She absolutely will pull one of these types over, dole out a ticket for improperly displayed registration, advise the driver he's got x days to pay or he gets a lunch date with no lunch, and wander off.

At no time does she respond to the bullshit questions that aren't in a normal stop. No jurisdictional tangents, no writ of sui something, nothing.

This is Canada, where our halfwits get the same YouTube and somehow think rules that don't even work there will somehow work here, and they seem surprised to find the cop isn't there to debate law on the roadside.

Possibly. Cops get to pick and choose what law to enforce and when so if they don't want to arrest someone they don't. Laziness or indifference? Who knows. ACAB.

Some of those who work forces are the same that ~~burn crosses~~ have brain damage.

Very, very, very few of these situations ever actually happened.

Police don’t mind the hassle? The ones on patrol are bored out of their minds from what I have seen; plus I have heard that in the american dystopia police are promoted on merit, not on seniority (to those who don’t know why its an issue is because it gives motivation for police to arrest people and couple that with police immunity…)

We only hear about bad police interactions. Truth is, most are lazy and don't want to fuck with the paperwork unless they have to.

Not my experience at all… Outside of the US police hsve the legal duty of upholding the order and protecting innocents! So say if a knifed attacker attacks you on the metro, they won’t be watching from the conductors cabin and won’t be getting an award for it…
