    The innocent taco driver wasn't trying to pin the car to help the police. His transmission was searching for gears, he got distracted while trying to figure out why his truck was shifting so erratically, and he drifted into the other lane ending up in front of this car. Once he saw what was going on, he took the opportunity to file an insurance claim, saying that the guy getting chased by police caused the damage to his shitty transmission when he drove the car into the taco.
    At least that's what it looks like from the video...

    AZ is headed down that path. I used to love it here but the past 15 years have slowly made this state less tolerable to live in for me personally.

    Aside from the cold state refugee's most of AZ's new population growth is from people leaving CA and moving here. Traffic is nuts, grocery stores are frequently out of stock on regular items, home prices are absolutely ridiculous. Old malls are being torn down or converted to high density housing and new high density housing is being built faster than a sand castle at the beach.

    Positive for me as I'm selling and moving out of state too.

    Every state has it in some form or another. :turtleride:

    What state is worthy? NM? TX? I am not sure I tolerate KS or OK, or WY, and I do not like humidity of the SE (gotta stay clear of the "mafia" anyway).

    Which ever floats your boat and fits your lifestyle, budget and bucket list I suppose. Some foreign countries are appealing to me. :hattip:

    They take flight from a collapsing California and then vote for the same B.S. that lead to the Collapse of California. I will never ever never figure it out.

    The laws plus the conscious choice to not enforce them in some cases too. I've long said the laws seem to protect the scoundrel versus the innocent moreso anyway but...

    I can relate as in my state stupidity is abound, though moving out of the area isn't an option presently for me. Just hoping I can hold out till that time.

    People in general are sue happy, it seems. Plus sadly precedent keeps moving the goalposts further in the direction you mention.

    No, you couldn't. The entire state of Kansas is an absolutely flat, treeless, featureless plain. There is nowhere to go here and nothing to do when you get there. You definitely wouldn't want to move here.

    No one would.

    Absolutely not.

    So you're just making shit up that isn't reality? Suspect was arrested for grand theft auto. So essentially the flag had nothing to do with where the suspect was from but hey, don't let reality get in the way of you trying to say it was a foreigner (highly doubtful).

    Decision 1: Steal a car
    Decision 2: Run from the police
    Decision 3: Drive into a crowded neighborhood
    Decision 4: Try to squeeze fat butt through tiny window

    Making shit up? Try and reread what you just wrote before accusing me of making shit up. Oh and also try and reread what I wrote the first time and you will see nothing I made up. Asking a question using hyperbole is not making shit up. Dude relax drink a beer getting all fake upset about something you read on the internet is truly a sign of a young mind.
