If you watch any amount of police bodycam footage on YT having to do with trafficking you will see ALPRs are now another tool they use.
The given reason for being pulled over is something petty like following too close or not signaling at the right time. The real reason is the vehicle was flagged from some pattern determined by the ALPR networks.
I've had my car searched (I finally gave consent to search after over an hour of being detained waiting on a drug dog) because of a popular 'reasonably suspicious' pattern cops use. The loser let me off with a warning for speeding after finding nothing.
Extending the length of the stop to wait for a drug dog isn't legal. The key phrases include "am I being detained", "am I free to go", "what is your reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime", and "what is your name and badge number". Record everything.
Of course they'll be more than happy to break the law themselves. They'll investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing. And I'm sure the officer will claim they smelled something giving them reasonable suspicion.
FYI: it is no longer legal to make you wait for the drug dog in the United States.
They must conclude the stop in a reasonable amount of time, without delay, and if the drug dog hasn’t arrived in the time that it takes them to write you a ticket, you can not be detained any longer.
The United States of America has been asking European and NATO countries to contribute more money to defense for years. Good for them for finally recognizing they need to step up
Yes, they have increased defense spending but your thread topic says they "just gave them a reason to".
Crying about Musk and declaring what you are going to do on an internet forum may feel good, but it doesn't make it reality.
I'm moving my HSA because the company moved to passkeys.
I use unique email addresses and passwords, stored only on my devices(Linux, Windows, Android) using open source software (KeepassXC, KeepassDX). Passkeys add new friction I don't need.
That scam-detector site gives my personal portfolio website a 15.8/100. It is a basic static site with no scripting, registered for years, uses https, no tracking, no cookies, etc. Literally the most simple, personable, least scam-like website I could create.
Going to these events sounds like too much work. Couldn't AI just give me a summary of the event? It could even play some AI music similar the band that performed.
Are European retail banks going to be allowed to operate in Canada? Are the Canadians going to put quotas and tariffs on European dairy? Does Canada certify Airbus jets?
The iD editor built into the openstreetmap.org site is really easy to use. Sign up. Navigate to where your trails are. At the top left of the page, hit 'Edit'. At the top of the map area, select the Add Feature > 'Line'. Left click on the map to start drawing your line. Press escape on your keyboard to quit drawing. You will be prompted to select a feature type, which you'll probably want a Path or Foot Path (click the 'i' icon next to the feature for more information from the wiki which is very helpful).
Keep in mind no changes are made until you commit them using the 'Save' button at the top right of the map area. You also have 'Undo' available. You can also make changes to your line before saving. Right clicking the line or one of the nodes on the line will give additional options (such as being able to continue drawing your line).
Hit 'Save', add a descriptive Changeset Comment and add your source (usually aerial imagery).
If the trail is tree-covered and not visible on the map, you may have used GPS to record the track. In that case you would want to use something like the JOSM desktop editor that has more capability. It can import GPX files, etc.
