This annoys me. If you fail to follow signage, you deserve a ticket. If you fail to pay the ticket, you should face consequences.




you can have privacy in your own home. Not on a public street. GTFO with that argument (collective)

I don’t think freedom means what you think it means.

Yes* in theory but not practice

but my comment was based on the fact that if your car is parked on the side of the road anyone can walk by your car and look in.

Look in, fine. If in plain site.
Touch it, mark it, modify it. No good.
Break window out and look under seat and arrest me for what’s there no good
 
Privacy on a public street is as much or possibly more important than in your home.

Placing a non-permanent mark on the tire=\= breaking a window.

Who gets to decide where the line is?
What about writing on your windshield with non perm ink.
What about putting stickers on your paint?
Where is the line and why do you get to decide what to do to my vehicle if I’ve broken no law

Take notice of the bright orange/green stickers they place on windows of disabled cars on the road side. HP and Safety Trucks have to check for occupants, but then they affix a sticker.
Used to be they would peel and slap that bitch on the middle of one of the windows, and they are a MOTHER FUCKER a to scrape off. Now they are applied with masking tape in most cases. Newer cars have really expensive glass that usually can’t handle a razor blade with out damage. Not all coatings are on the inside of the glass.

Or what if the car is a $Million Bughatti and that tire is a $5k tire? Some people are REALLY particular about what defaces their car.

The Justices said it pretty well - just find another non-contact method of tracking their time.

I thought this was pretty gnarly. I suppose you’d do the same thing with a vacuum chamber, but the story wouldn’t be as cool. I also Didn’t know there were ‘civilian harriers’

Cool I guess, but seems extremely expensive and ineffective. 2500ft above sea level? Get more delta driving up to the NC mountains. Drive from Charlotte to Mt Mitchell and you're looking at almost 6000 feet.

I remember the first time I saw one of those as a kid, early 70's. We were headed to Harkers Island and got stuck in traffic on 70 east in Havelock. We heard and watched a jet scream up and stop and come strait down like a helicopter....it was awesome! good times I remember.

But then it would just be boring ole foot hill hooch with an attitude about altitude

Realistically, all this is doing is drawing the liquid in to the wood…that’s why I was thinking a vacuum chamber of sorts…or a hot air balloon. But I spose those methods don’t get as much press.

Or a centrifuge

The more I think about it, the dumber it seems. Obviously this a publicity stunt, not a science experiment, but if the barrels are sealed, the vacuum is on the wood, not the liquid. And if they are not sealed, it would have no effect.

hence... centrifuge.

But, maybe I'm thinking about this wrong, but it's not so much that there is a vacuum on the outside sucking it out as there is positive pressure on the inside created by the fact that the air density inside is higher than it is outside.

But then you could also get the same effect by just pressuring the barrel w/ a compressor.
