truck drivers are synonymous with speeding and drunk driving, and usually driven by meatheads.

Hopefully one day a fully loaded semi truck explains to him the error of his ways.
An average full size truck sits at 6". This short king is the height of a 12 year old
wild that something this NYC specific is up top. this dude is in for it, i think
Police get away with murder, the most this cop is in for is high fives from his fellow piggies.
ACAB
And if he causes an accident, his victim goes down for it. That's NY.
Wait, hold up. In the picture, is that the actual size of that truck? Or has the size been exaggerated?
I live in a small town so I'm sorry to say, that is exactly how big pickup trucks are now. What isn't clear from the angle of that photo is the bed is most likely less than 6 feet long, meaning it can fit less in the bed than a minivan with only rearmost row folded down.
The best part is, in rural America there's folks who look at that stock truck, say it isn't big enough and get a lift kit and extra large tires installed so it rides 2 feet off the ground and the wheels extend multiple inches past the fenders (sometimes they're further out than the mirrors even) and the illegality of such mods on public roads goes entirely unenforced. Oh and those are the folks who don't also make their trucks roll coal
Oh god, the rolling of coal. So help me these fuckers literally give people cancer and think it is funny.
I bet the coal rollers are loving the modifications to use a crapload more fuel at the moment lmao
What's weird is is that truck isn't tall enough for how big it is if you want to do practical work and haul shit. It would bottom out if you put a real load in it. These things are so weird to me. This thing is a glorified grocery hauler.
I think the lens or camera angle is wonky because in addition to the entire image looking flattened, it does looks slightly lower than I'd expect, but I don't know how much of that is that I see so many trucks with lift kits installed on a daily basis, if thats because the camera is mounted higher than I'd be seated in my car or on my bike, of if it's just it looks off in a photo but it's actually bog standard
Oh, I thought it was just literally every large white pickup truck.
Manlet with purse, looks like he needs a good series of beatings and de-teething.
Fuck the police
comin' straight from the underground
We could not determine whether Giovansanti has ever harmed someone by speeding. But the circumstantial evidence is not reassuring: The right side of his truck is visibly damaged, and he refused to answer a straightforward question about his collision history.
If it was his car being damaged while parked it would be the left side, so probably not that.
Have you never parked on a one-way? Or literally anywhere other than the right shoulder of a road? That said, it's literally unbelievable this person still has a license (until you learn they are a fascist pig)
Tell me again how traffic cameras make us safer and we can totally trust them to be applied objectively for public safety and no other purpose?
They aren't for safety...they are totally for revenue.
With regards to school zones, specifically, if they cared about safety, they would be putting in mechanisms to slow traffic naturally. Raised crosswalks. Rotaries. Narrower lanes. Crossing guards.
They don't put any of those in.
A couple towns over from me, they just put a brand new highschool right on the intersection of two major state highways, about 1/4 mile from the interstate. If they cared about the kids, they've put the school in a less busy area to begin with.
But instead, they demo'd an old pedestrian bridge that was keeping kids off the road for crossing, and set up a speed cam and issuing tickets in the spring before the school even opened.
And of course the school zone creates a bottleneck for people exiting the highway in rush hour, with ripple effects well down the freeway.
Fucking assholes.
But at least Theil gets paid. Most of the money doesn't even go back to the city. What a ducking ripoff.
Perfect example of policing in America. Their primary mission as a force is to protect themselves at all costs just like any other gang or criminal organization.
Fun fact! The police are the largest gang of armed robbers in the country, collectively stealing more money than all other armed robberies and burglaries combined, and it's totally legal for them
Civil asset forfeiture is one of those things where when you hear about it your first reaction is that it must be some fringe conspiracy theory because there's no way the police could get away with something like that, right? But no, it really is that bad and it's done completely in the open. Cops can just steal your shit out of "suspicion" and the process of getting it back is deliberately labyrinthine and difficult.
I first read about it years ago and you captured my reaction perfectly.
And the father of civil asset forfeiture was DNC centrist darling and father of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians himself, Joe racist-dipshit biden, who belongs in prison along with trump and many other american politicians.

Well that’s sadly educational. Thanks for the info.
Can you prove your inherited grandmother's engagement ring actually belongs to you? Receipt please! Oh you don't have one. It's ours to auction off now!

Hilarious that the final picture has a WRX sports car behind the truck, that you may expect the nypd to be more likely to actually punish for spending.
Well, aren't all cops above the laws of gods and men?
They would need qualifications if they weren't
He’s paid all of them too?! If a cop has a spare $36k to spend on being a reckless driver, he’s being paid way too much.
Without reading, I'll read it after this, but I'm zero percent surprised. Only people I've seen buy ram trucks are ones who do not care about others and want to be seen as big and tuff.
Hell the vast majority of truck drivers too, sorry not sorry folks but you do not need a truck to drive to your office daily, or to drive the family around, you got it as a status symbol. RAM drivers are just the worst of them all.
This is comedically on the nose, absolutely ridiculous. How is reality so heavy-handed in its lessons
