an uninsured driver hit me and ran to salt lake city utah... you know what i had? valid everything. license, tags, insurance, registration... you know what i got in return???? A TOTALLED OUT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! so you tell me how is that right?????????????????????????
since rds are public property that means they don't belong to any certain person right? ok well how is it a privledge to drive on a public street. nobody owns the street that im on except for the govt or the department of roads or w/e they call it. ummm so how is it that we have to have permission to drive on a public rd... why don't we have to have permission/a license/insurance to drink from a public drinking fountain? or why don't we have to have a license to go to the park and play? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Ummm.....if you're going to qoute someone use the right source. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. - "your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins" Ben Franklin had something a bit more accurate on this. “Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”
May be not right away, but I bet you would after the death tax, funeral costs, medical expenses, and other expenses amount up to thousands of dollars. Full coverage does not always cover someone else's liability. Insurance companies have armies of lawyers working to excuse themselves from paying you anything, including your own. You are required by law to have liability insurance when you drive a motor vehicle on public roadways. If you hit me or a family member without insurance and caused injury I would sue you until I owned everything you used to.
Asking to see your license, registration, and insurance does not amount to a search at all, sorry. All of those documents you are REQUIRED by law to produce when an officer demands them of you while you are driving. If you refuse you will be arrested and detained because you are breaking laws and obstructing their enforcement of the law. In this instance they were only stopping cars where they observed obvious moving or equipment violations anyway. What they were doing is not even remotely illegal, despite what you may think or wish to be true.
No, they are not.
Stupid comment, Duh! How dare you equate law-breaking drivers being stopped and ticketed for violating the law to the Holocaust. Shame on you!!
The only ones screaming "entrapment" are the ones driving illegally. What you illegal drivers don't seem to realize or don't seem to care about is that we, who carry insurance, have our rates higher than necessary to insure us against people like you who thumb your nose at the law. Thanks for being responsible and being a great role model for your kids. My kids will probably be carrying insurance to cover them.
If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. Now, step in here please. It's for the disinfect.
so do people on motorcycles
Then why do 25% of the Nebraska DUI arrests originate in Omaha? Do not just say things that run counter to fact and expect to be believed.
These were tickets. No one went to prison. Stay calm, everyone.
@Good Job.....Wrong agency. The State Patrol was conducting the checkpoint, not the Omaha Police Department. Second, the police are limited in their efforts to obtain an arrest warrant for someone in Utah that is wanted on a traffic violation. Even in this area, some traffic warrants are only issued for surrounding counties. Your issue is with the court system not the police. Third, if you like paying fines and having your car impounded because you have the means to pay them, good for you. If you continually disobey traffic laws your drivers license will be suspended, and then you will be back on here whining about how the police are unfair to you because you "pay their salary". How you were being preotected was from another suspended driver without insurance hitting you. Example you might ask? Watch the story again and you will find that the driver of the red SUV from Iowa was driving while under suspension and without insurance. She was cited and got the chance to walk away instead of drive. So, you were protected that day even if you don't realize it.
I don't care what tyrant courts have rules, it's still against the original meaning on the Constitution.
I'll agree
