the 100% directionless thread

Man, 30 minute drive home and not only did I nearly draw my weapon when "Drunk Road Rage Man" almost ran me off the road and then started to advance on my vehicle, but I arrive home to find that I am the focus of a Mod's attention. I do believe I am offended... :rolleyes:

Already know how not to get lost and what to do when Firefighters get lost. "SAR CZAR"... remember, Alzheimer Boy?

So, once you're done with school you can't blame your GPS if you get lost?

GPS? What's that? Never relied on one, but I can reprogram them to eff with people... :D

GPS just sends you where Mountain Res-Q programs it to send you.

Never worked before when I tell people to "Go to Hell". In fact, it barely works when I tell Rescuers to "Go that-a-way"...

Wouldn't that be nice? :rofl:
 
So the police pulled over and arrested a prostitute on campus today, and all I could think of was the "unmarked" (well, as unmarked as a car could get with a push bumper) car didn't have a valid light scheme since it didn't have a forward facing steady red lamp.

As with 99% of unmarked police cars I've seen.
 
Res-Q, where did you get my yearbook photo from?

I actually saw one about a year ago running down the street with just one of those vanity mirror lights set to a steady red. It didn't strike me as particularly safe, despite being legal.

Some of the SO undercover have basically that set up, a single red in the window, maybe a red/blue in the grill, and maybe an single amber in the back window. But they are there just in case the Coroner, Detective, Boat Patrol, or Lieutenant have to do traffic stop. We inherited a 2000 Tahoe that only has a red in the window, a couple of small dash blues, and two hide-a-ways in the rear. It works, it is legal, it is useless for a true code 3 response.

I do like the fact that they try to make the cars blend in yet they have a million antennas on the roof.

And hubcaps that are only used on cop cars and taxis.:ph34r:

If the undercover cops really want to blend in, drive a car ten years old with no insurance, complain about the price of gas, perform minor traffic violations eg illegal lane changes and then pull somebody over lol

It is only illegal if you get caught. Who is gonna catch the cops? Ah ha...

1. If I'm being pulled over for something major and there's no steady red light, I'm running. "You're honor, I'm under no obligation to pull over and yield to a flashing red and blue light (per CVC 21806). A flashing lamp is not a lit lamp (see CVC 25252).

2. Last thing I would want to be is involved in an accident and give any reason to have my emergency vehicle deemed not an emergency vehicle.
 
I may have inadvertently made an incredibly crude comment to my partner this evening in Subway...the clerk was trying so hard not to laugh :P

On a side note, tomorrow marks the beginning of the Seafood and Wine Festival...I'm working tomorrow and Sunday and expect to see a plethora of drunkards and allergic reactions. :ph34r:

Best keep the adrenaline handy mate :D

Also is it too much to ask for people to use their turn signals in the parking lot?

And is it weird to think of asking the checkout chick out?
 
Nothing so heartbreaking as sitting on post watching a LODD escort for and 18 y/o firefighter
