Pulled over in Payson...

There are actually clear ceramic tints (I forgot the name again) that work even better than limo tint. Limo tint blocks out visable light so it does help cool it a bit- but the ceramic stuff (as I understand it) blocks more of the UV spectrum- and that the real heat.

 

I'll look into this for my windshield.

 

Hüper optik? Ceramic tint people.

 

i would consider it too, but i'm on my 3rd windshield since i bought my taco in january. i have zero luck with rocks

 

I recently did some research into Huper. I was told it has the same effect as having 3 layers of limo in terms of the amount of heat it keeps out. Unfortunately, it would probably run 5-600.00 to do a truck. But since the AC is so shitty in these trucks, it may be worth it.

 

Josh, you have had a rough week. Truck getting punched, stopprd by the popo.

 

21 to buy a gun? Really...I figured it was 18?

 

Have you seen the way some of the police drive in the valley? Ignoring any and all laws with no lights or sirens and seemingly going no where a lot. Failure to use signals almost constantly in lane changes or changing roads, tail gating, a lot of stuff. Some might be for a purpose, but I highly doubt most of it is. The one that bothers me the most is speeding without lights on.... why do they get to do it and I get a ticket.

Also didn't Pinal just show a wrecked cruiser the other day from the officer doing something horribly wrong lol? I still say all the officers should get Bondurant training

 

I agree! I know a lot of cops who admit that they speed while on and off duty. I would be willing to bet if you were to poll 100% of the cops, the percentages of those with moving violations would be nil, way below the average citizen.

When I was in Arkansas, I watched a cop toss a cigarette on the ground prior to entering a mall. (I absolutely HATE littering.) I approached him and asked him to pick it up and that I was pretty sure littering was illegal. (I would have assumed he would have done the same thing had it been me..but I do not smoke) He decided that he was not going to be addressed in that manner and threatened to arrest me for disorderly conduct. I was STUNNED! I dimed him out to his boss and provided some names and numbers for witnesses. I am confident nothing happened.

I have a lot of respect for law enforcement. I do not have respect for those that regularly and arrogantly violate the laws they punish others for breaking.

If you break the law, expect being called out on it, regardless of whether you agree with it or not.

 

How often to LEO's take physical fitness test?

 

Is that standard for the Sheriffs? What about DPS, city..ect?

 

Point of clarification- Police do NOT punish anyone. They observe, cite, record, and generally report on situations. The courts punish people.

The cop you approached about the cigarette was a d-bag. Not be cause he was a cop but because he was a d-bag. If he WASN'T a cop he probably woulda started a fight or made a scene which would have ended up with cops being called.

 

Yep I agree.

Police in MA fly on the highways, especially when their shift is over and they are going back to the barracks.
Also many of the unmarked have 10% on the windows.

The law clearly states and also states the exception of service/emergency vehicles

 

Wow...this turned in to quite the thread. Must be bag on cops day (Just Kidding). I did post a pic of a wrecked Charger. From what I understand it was late at night and since Arizona is an open range state, that particlar Deputy hit a cow in the roadway while responding to a call. It happens. We in the Sheriff's Office spend a large amount of the time driving distances (Our counties are huge in comparison to a lot of states) and gong from call to call. Collisions are going to occur, it's the nature of the beast. I'm sure Tigerfan will agree. I am not trying to justify an behavior here or make excuses. I know from my stand point that I seldom write speeding tickets because I speed myself. If the driving behavior is so dangerous (i.e. speeds greater than 20 mph over the posted speed limit, reckless driver, etc) I will usually write a citation. I've been cited in my past and yes, took traffic school for a speeding ticket on my motorcycle 5 yrs ago. I was off duty and out in the middle of nowhere on open highway, but got popped by radar anyway. I pulled over and waited for the officer, who chose to go after my buddy. I continued to his stop and took my lumps. I have nobody to blame but myself and took full responsibility for my actions.
