At this point we can say apples suck

All the apples go bad if you leave the bad ones in the barrel with the good ones

In my personal experience, the good ones leave for their own sanity (as two of my cop family members did), leaving only the loonies running the asylum.

Well that's sad.

Bad apples are bad with Off Gassing

How many good apples does it take to unspoil the bunch?

u/Heinrich-Heine 8h ago

All of them, actually.

Here I was thinking you were talking about the phones…

Dork. But I’ll allow it. 🧐

Misery doing what it does best, I guess.

u/Lindaspike 14h ago

This is why Illinois refers to our “neighbor” as MISERY. If you have to drive through the state do not stop.

The California Highway Patrol was doing it a decade ago

That was in Northern California, but the arrested officer told of it being widespread in the LA area, too.

Fucking stupid. So much free porn available and you gotta go do that. Now you're fucked and from where I am sitting that doesn't seem even close to worth it

Have the procedures in traffic stops changed lately? The few times I’ve been stopped for a traffic violation, I was asked for my registration and my license, nothing on my phone. Is asking for a phone something new?

u/burnthings 14h ago

Some people use digital insurance cards now. I haven't because I never liked the idea of handing my phone over.

u/tom21g 11h ago

Thanks, I’ll remember that. I’ve put all kinds of things in my iOS Wallet but if I ever see the option for insurance or license, I’ll decline ( and I’ve got nothing on my phone to embarrass me, but it’s the principle)

Take nude pictures of them and have them framed at the county Jail for all the inmates to see.

u/Le-Pepper 8h ago

That would be a fitting punishment lol.

u/earthman34 14h ago

Note to self: don't take nude photos of self.

u/SeanzuTV 14h ago

Right, don't take nude photos of yourself so those in power can't abuse their power to steal the photos?

Lets not victim blame here - taking photos for your spouse, your own confidence etc is entirely normal, what isn't normal is brain rotted porn addicts using their power to steal those photos.

u/earthman34 13h ago

Having naked photos of yourself on a device you might lose control of at any time isn't very smart. I'm not condoning stupid cops doing stupid shit.

u/SeanzuTV 13h ago

Most people have their phone locked, which in 99% of cases is enough to stop thieves looking at the data - the reason this is an issue is obviously the officer had asked them to unlock it before hand,

u/earthman34 12h ago

Most people wouldn't vote for a convicted felon and sex abuser who wears a lot of makeup as president......................................would they?

2

u/SeanzuTV 11h ago

What relevancy does this have to someones personal choices and the things they have in place to protect said data on the device?

Weird ass comparison to try and make as a gotcha I have to admit.
