    NO!

    Go back. Californians ruined their state, and now that you got a taste of your own medicine you flee.

    You all made your bed, now sleep in it.

    So you really think that everyone there is a fool? I mean, my zip code in Oak Cliff votes solid Democrat… does that make me a Commie or a Democrat?

    This reminds me of an incident when I was a kid in high school. I grew up in the Midwest, and Friday and Saturday nights were spent “cruising” main street in your teenage car with friends. One summer night, we decided to cruise in a neighboring town and expand our hunt for female companionship. I thought it would be funny to wear ski masks—you know the type with the eye holes and mouth hole—and convinced the driver and two other passengers to do the same. There is no law against riding around with ski masks on, right? Needless to say, the plan was short lived and did not end well. It was a valuable lesson that just because something is legal, it should not be exploited, as there are consequences.

    Yup. And now, a few later, you are required to wear a mask to go into most places, and seeing someone wearing one in a car only brings about a snicker!

    Here are some examples of why I was taught (by each of my agencies (Border Patrol, U.S. Customs Patrol and Office of Investigations, Homeland Security Investigations) and by outside agencies & departments, including the Secret Service, CA Highway Patrol, NYPD, NRA LE Firearms Instructor Training Program and others to treat every vehicle stop as a potential felony vehicle stop. Of course, that can change in the blink of an eye to something very benign or it can be that what you thought was routine was absolutely anything but routine. Treating all vehicle stops like a felony vehicle stop is what got some of these officer saved. Note the ones who checked the trunks of the vehicles they pulled over, they are not doing that because they think it is a routine stop - they are doing that as a routine procedure to make it less likely no one hiding in the trunk, with an unlatched hood, will pop it open and attack them. When making vehicle stops, we could have been hit by a meteor or we all could have been a LE officer who disagreed with that policy but then sadly, like with some of these officers, we may have wound up dead. Some of these videos are of so called routine stops, some are of suspicious vehicles, and some are obvious felony stops where the officers had prior knowledge the guy driving or in the vehicle was a felon. Some are Texas (in fact probably most of them but I did not count - only found so many in TX by looking for the one I placed first). Others are in other parts of the USA, at least one is in South Africa - they happen all over the world. All of them show how potentially dangerous it could be for the officer to be careless about vehicle stops.











    No meteors in any of them but a few show cops treating the stop like a felony stop and a few or maybe several show cops being at least somewhat careless by handling it as routine. Some show the cops not even having time to approach the situation once the stop has been made.
