for probably about 5 years now, there is a list of states i won't visit or pass through on the ground. not because there is a warrant out for me there, but because the security apparatus of that state is completely fucked and corrupt. why risk a shakedown? it's the same reason i wouldn't go to Dubai if somebody covered all expenses.

when it comes up, people laugh like it's eccentric. it won't be long now for that to be more common.

If you really want to get into it the general rule for road travel has always been don't go too far outside of the state borders of the state on your license plates. It doesn't matter what state it is, having "unreasonably" (e.g. generally about 3 states away is about the point it starts) out of state plates has always increased your chances of being shaken down by the cops, mainly because they know you're very likely not going to be able to make the trip to traffic court so you can even attempt to contest your ticket.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
