[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Will it help to reduce the "crime surge" if police are allowed to pull drivers over for window tinting?[/b]

I mean, I think Jawando's bill is a bad idea because it will make the roads less safe. However, I don't think it will increase the numbers of bank robberies and homicides.[/quote]

Yes, it will help. Turns out that the type of person that makes illegal modifications to their car is the same type of person who often has outstanding warrants. The same thing goes for enforcing fare evasion.[/quote]

"Hi, I pulled you over because I decided your car windows are too dark, and therefore I want to check whether you have outstanding warrants." is not the kind of thing that increases public trust in the police. Just saying.[/quote]

Except the police officer didn't "decide" the windows were too dark. Legislators did that and if you don't like the law you should speak to your legislator. [/quote]
+1 why do we have these laws if they don't want the police to enforce it. Stupid. Just remove the laws, then.

Some of these things are safety issues.

Working lights, having your lights on in heavy rain, in the dark..

The windshield wiper, glaring high beams, also a safety issue.

Window tinting.. so,  a rapist/thief/car jacker should just ride in a heavy tinted car. Cops won't pull you over for it. Great way to hide.

We have laws for public safety, and Jawando doesn't seem to care about public safety.[/quote]

Yes, they are road safety issues. They are not crime issues. [/quote]
So, if Jawando doesn't want the police to enforce public safety laws, then why should anyone follow these laws? Clearly, Jawando thinks they are nbd, so the cops shouldn't enforce them.

Are you suggesting that Jawando doesn't care if people break laws?[/b][/quote]

That is true of so many of our liberal, progressive political leaders in Montgomery County.  [/quote]

Truth.  Progressives think the criminals are the most victimized of all.  And care nothing for actual victims.  Nothing.[/quote]
