Plus you can't stop them from walking a dog around your vehicle and if it hits, that's probable cause.

That would be a hard sell if you were smart enough to put the weed in the trunk. That's what I plan on doing when/if I go to Michigan to get weed and I also wouldn't carry any with me to smoke even though the drive kinda sucks without it. Volkerball posted:Plus you can't stop them from walking a dog around your vehicle and if it hits, that's probable cause. Yeah, my guess is that they will probably have more K-9 units around the border and those are the ones that can really get you.

TMMadman posted:Just FYI, I still feel a little bad about just believing the poor assumptions of my parents regarding your aunt and uncle. I really just remember them as cool people with that crazy looking dog Petey. My family absolutely are party animals so I can believe them being a bit off putting. I’m sure they were told more than enough times to shut up at night. Sound carried across the water well. It’s no big deal. Edit: my uncle that’s growing isn’t the uncle your family knows. Content: I’m all for making the judicial system right in regards to pardoning folks that got pinched for pot. But I wish we’d get our rear end in gear because pot tourism is a thing. We could draw a lot of people to Chicago if it was legal. You’re only going to leave money on the table if nearby states legalize first.

I have nothing but positive memories about your uncle and family. I was talking about the poor ethnic assumption that my parents made and I just assumed was true. Also, yeah I really think Illinois has to get on the ball regarding weed because it certainly will generate revenue for a state that badly needs it.

Will these new laws make those go away? Or will things like that still be left up to company discretion? I'm guessing the latter, but my (Canadian) buddy said that except for heavy equipment use, their legalization made things like that go away. I suppose it doesn't matter much to me; I haven't even tried pot yet. (Yeah, yeah, I was some kinda square in High School). I'll get around to it eventually. I expect, if nothing else, I'll spend the bulk of retirement baked as hell (mostly because I'm sure my liver won't tolerate drinking anymore by that point).

TMMadman posted:That would be a hard sell if you were smart enough to put the weed in the trunk. It's a logistical nightmare for them, so they primarily resort to a lot of cheap tricks that put the onus on drivers to make nervous mistakes, and I imagine it'll be a similar situation here. I used to do runs to Denver, and Nebraska would always put up signs that said "K-9 patrol checkpoint ahead" or some such. Of course, they weren't shutting down loving I-80 to have each vehicle be sniffed by dogs, and it's not like they can hit on vehicles that are flying by at 70 mph. So the whole premise is bullshit. They just strategically placed those signs in front of exits with overpasses, close enough that there isn't a whole lot of reaction time when you see the sign. Then they camp out up top where you can't see them, and keep an eye out for anyone who looks like they saw the sign and then moved erratically to hurry up and get off the interstate. Stay chill, stay free my friends

I expect the reality of the situation will be that those policies will start being relaxed if (when) they suddenly just can't seem to fill positions anymore.

Oracle posted:Yeah Chicago cops are so bad even rich white guys aren’t safe. I was living in a podunk city in west-central Illinois (Beardstown). So the cop pulled me over about a block from my house. He says he saw me throw a cigarette out the window so he's pulled me over for littering (I don't smoke and my windows were up). Of course, there were three police cars behind me within seconds. Then he says that since the K-9 unit just happened to be here, they're just going to walk the dog around the car. My girlfriend was with me, and she used to train* service dogs so she was watching the dog and its handler and saw the cop signal the dog to hit on the car. They immediately tell me I'm being charged with misdemeanor drug possession, but oh don't worry I don't have to go to court if I just pay the fine. Then they take me back to their car while a cop who couldn't have been a day over 18 started filling out the papers. They searched my car for 20 minutes, found nothing, then came back and told me to go. What about this misdemeanor, I asked? No, just go. If I wasn't white they 1000% would have planted something and I'm sure they did so to someone else that night or another. So yeah ACAB. At least the local ones; every encounter I've had with the State Police has been very professional. FuturePastNow fucked around with this message at 20:59 on May 17, 2019 |

Saw some talk in USPOL but couldn't find the origin. Did Lipinski come out in support of these terrible abortion bills? I know he's an anti-choice piece of poo poo, but I'm hoping to get something to stop my dad from voting for him in the primary.

New Chicago resident here and I'm wondering if y'all could answer some questions I had based on this story: https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2019/5/17/18629590/lori-lightfoot-chicago-city-council-committee-leadership 1) Does the Mayor get to pick Committee chairs, or is she just saying she wants these people and then the Council is going to vote for them because she's the Mayor and they do what she says? 2) What's a floor leader? 3) Is it common to be as explicit as they are being about how chairs are rewards for support (especially with Waguespack, at the end of the story)? e: I just noticed my tag, which I got in 2015 while living in Texas to piss off someone in the D&D chat thread who really liked Rahm

(though their problems run deep and they also have the acute issue of being on the IL side of the STL metro) also the ISP is just bad to begin with, as anyone who has ever driven 55 from Missouri knows. you go from 70 or 55 in MO (where the MHP easily gives you the "gentlemen's speed limit" of 10-15 over, and won't care about your driving as long as you're keeping up with other traffic and not being a dick) to IL where there's ISP crusiers every 10 miles and you better not go a shade over that limit. at least it's not a 65 MPH limit anymore, which really got us with Missouri plates.
