Given the courtesy exhibited by significant portions of the general populace, I’d say being a little extra polite to a cop might be good advice... Otherwise agreed.

Yeah but in America, not being completely subservient (especially if your skin is darker than snow) could get you literally murdered.

 IRL OSHA. My brother got the meat pulled off his rink finger last night while working on a tractor. He's going to a surgeon today. Luckily he didn't lose the bone, but I don't think his finger is going to be normal again.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Also the number of people who are driving around without a valid licence and registration was way way higher than I expected. I got pulled over at a checkpoint once while riding my motorcycle. I assumed it was a DUI thing so I started to take off my helmet. The cop shook his head and said they were just checking for driver's licenses (and in my case the motorcycle license as well). I was kind of surprised by that so I asked "do you really catch a lot of people driving without a license?" and he wordlessly pointed at a line of like eight cars pulled over up ahead, with officers walking back and forth all around them. Really blew my mind.

They don't even issue registration stickers for drivers to stick on their windscreens in Australia any more because these days police cars all have cameras mounted on the dash which are connected to computers that immediately display rego status without the cops even having to type it in so I'm sure they catch way way more unregistered drivers than they used to. Rego stickers just used to cause arguments anyway, most drivers with a sticker that was out of date would just claim they'd paid their rego but hadn't put the new sticker on yet or were waiting for it to arrive in the mail if those TV shows that follow cops on patrol are any indication.

Pennsylvania just phased them out, too. Computers just check plate numbers and that's what determines what they have your registration as. There was actually somewhat of a black market for stolen registration stickers in the Philadelphia area to the point that some people would slice their stickers with an X-pattern before putting them on to make them harder to get off. I just got a new plate, and they don't even have the little depression for the sticker to go in anymore, so I hope they're gone for good.

Computers on police car cams check poo poo here too, but instead of some stupid registration fee they check whether or not you've paid your taxes and had your car inspected on time. God bless this stupid country for caring about taxes so much

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I'm from Australia. In BC we have the Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement. They're like cops, but for commercial vehicles, so they have the authority to write tickets, perform inspections on the side of the road, and have said vehicles towed if they fail. When I was going to school (heavy duty mechanic course) they had a checkpoint set up across the street; the police were pulling over all the commercial vehicles they could from the nearby major road, and they were doing inspections. Our instructor arranged for us to go down and have a tour, take a look at the kinds of stuff they were checking for. One guy who got pulled over was driving a dump truck, with soil heaped way above the top of the sides of the bed. That's illegal in Vancouver, and he was pissed and very vocal about being told that. He was even more pissed when they made him climb up with a shovel to flatten it/dump it on the side of the road until it was level. It took him a while, and he was swearing and cursing at the officers the entire time, just a generally unpleasant man. Finally he asked if that was enough, they said yes, and, still swearing and complaining, he got back into his truck and they watched him drive off. Then they immediately pulled him over and wrote him a ticket for not putting a tarp over his load. Moral of the story: Gromit posted:These are known in local Australian cop parlance as "failing the attitude test". Don't give them a reason to make your life shittier by acting like a dickhead. cheese-cube posted:IMO just afford cops the same courtesy you would anyone else.

But you can definitely talk your way into one.

The related videos brought up a fun thread topic - flashovers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXU0jiBQfG0 Also holy gently caress I'm pretty sure I made this back in the day. I remember filming for flashover stuff (in complete arc flash suit) at that specific site. Although I dodn't do any 3D for it, but the motion graphics look exactly like my old cookie cutter template for Anglo.

In most of my state, the open container laws are sane, but there's pockets where things get weird. The town I lived in had to bag six packs by law or it was considered open beverages. You couldn't have a six pack with one missing anywhere but the trunk. You couldn't possess a single can of beer (again, if it wasn't in the trunk) so liquor stores could only sell tallboys if they were a pair taped together. An open case, even if it still had all 24 beers was also considered an open container. Of course it was still ok for every liquor store to sell fabric roses and single chore boy pads, so they weren't applying the same scrutiny to everything.

A fabric rose is a fake rose in a small glass tube. Dump the rose, put a bit of chore boy pad in the tube and bam: crack pipe.
