primitives discuss being stopped by cops

i never tire of reading UGP post, i swear to the almighty that someone should make a sitcom out of them.  crazy as distended testicles.

Unhappily, the subway cat's been absent from Skins's island for a bit now.

Some months ago, she said her therapist was suggesting short-term institutionalization, and she agreed to it.

I dunno how long is considered "short-term," but it HAS been some months now.

I suspect the subway cat's still in that big building with little rooms with soft walls.....and no internet.

Actually, realistically, given her mental state, just as felons aren't allowed to own firearms, the subway cat should have been banned from having internet access, even in her own place at her own expense.  And my fellow alum Skins should have gotten into some sort of trouble for knowingly allowing a mentally-ill to hang around Skins's island, exacerbating her condition.

17. In Los angeles, they do warrant stops in the black / brown neighborhoods. stopping all cars, making them show ID. My white friend explained that he got to just put his ID up against the window and keep driving. Implication being - whites get a pass during these stops.

Huh...I remember going through a lot of those stops in LA and Orange County when I lived there.  Were in a lot of neighborhoods, but primarily in areas where the rates of expired/phony registration and insurance were quite high--gee, why would they do that?  And at no point was I ever told by the LAPD, LA County Sheriff, or Huntington Beach PD, "Oh, white guy?  Nevermind, go on through, have a nice day, and make sure you hide that 400 lbs of cocaine better, mkay?"

And I always chuckled to myself when people would look a block ahead and see the stop, then turn the block before, thinking they were outsmarting "the man", only to be stopped by them on the side streets.  Absolute hilarity.

Maybe she's been cured, like Jack Nicholson's character in "Cuckoo's Nest" - the difference being Nicholson started out normal.

There were plenty of "sobriety checkpoints" in San Diego when I was there. They were usually down by the Sports Arena area. I avoided that area like the plague.

We gets lots of checkpoints here and they've gotten me before for various things, like not taking my stupid snow tyres off.

The worst experience I had at a stop was when I had a rental car that had Ontario plates and inspection, but it was still not that bad.

I just do my best to avoid the checks now thanks to knowing where they often are.
