As to sovereign citizen what if I hate my window tint?

I love watching those videos. I wonder sometimes do they really think that is gonna work? Seems they do.


No, you would be fine. A divided highway is any road with opposing directions of travel. That will include roads with and without a raised concrete center median, double yellow line, broken white line center median/turn lane, etc.

The sovereign citizen nonsense may work in some other states, but not in California. Our vehicle code puts that nonsense to a stop.

If there’s a divider, no stop is needed (ambulances, cops, school buses, all the same).

Are you sure it’s different there or either one of us misunderstood the question?
Because we often need to drive into opposing lanes of travel, you have to yield to emergency vehicles here.

Same thing here, but not when the road is divided.

I find it funny they want to be unfettered yet use roads paid for by the rest of us. I thought it was just an internet joke til I saw the videos. Oh well.

Heck, I actually met a guy who believed in the flat earth conspiracy. And this was a brit who moved to Thailand. Sometimes I want to weep at the extremes people will go to in order to believe something that their senses tell them is untrue.

I have a friend and his wife is into this whole hog. She is waaaaay out there. There are some crazy ideas associated with this and it's been around for years now. The odd time they manage to get away with this garbage and then they think that means they are right in their thinking, which tends to embolden them. I didn't have to deal with them very often but when I did it never ended the way they thought it would.

It was true. I felt bad for the guy. It was one of those bouts with diarrhea that you just couldn't hold.

Absolutely! He went straight to the gas station restroom, changed clothes and tossed his sweats in the dumpster.

Has anyone heard the news today about the huge NYPD evidence warehouse burning in a major fire? No impounded cars there, but many vehicles being held for evidence along with DNA samples and other stuff dating back 10-20 years. FDNY has two fire boats from the water side and plenty of trucks on the shore side, and is saying that the fire won't be fully extinguished for a few more days.

The NYC TV talking heads are asking rhetorically what this means for all of those outstanding cases if the evidence is lost?????

Some cases will undoubtedly be affected. Others will successfully be tried on the circumstantial evidence. Some of the criminals will get a pass because of that evidence warehouse burning down.

It's not the first time and it won't be the last. It wasn't that long ago that West Hollywood Station's "95-Ocean" was caught on a hot mic having sex at Universal Studios.

I thought as much. I've may have heard other stories in my younger years about employees having sex on the job. The difference for us is there were no microphones to catch us in the act.....or were there?

Oh man. Having such a thing captured on BWC would be a double face palm. IMHO, there's no reason these people should be getting caught on a hot mic. It's very easy to avoid. Turn off the mobile radio in the vehicle completely and take off the portable radio, set it on the dash and do not touch it.

So how much time would I get for assault on an officer?

Called CHP to report a vehicle left for a week. Nice officer comes and parks just behind as person responsible (but probably not RO) arrives
When officer comes to speak to me, he asks if there are other vehicles he needs to take care of. I point down the street and start describing two others when I notice him put his hand on his sidearm. Then he instructs me to please put the rose clippers on the ground

Well…..we know if CNN is reporting it, they can no longer hide or deny what many of us already expected/suspected.
