It's true. That article was from September of 2013. The state now has 8 MRAPs. Here's the MRAP in Ft. Pierce, Florida. Florida police department unveils new MRAP armored vehicle (VIDEO)

Oh, it's not a hoax. That's why I linked to the actual police department instead of a YouTube video link. There are plenty of other recruiting videos out there that, while not quite as bad as Springdale, they do have their moments. Round Rock, Texas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v63jrssNWo...

Hard to say, but all of the equipment they are using certainly came from the taxpayers. The sprawling metropolis of Washington, IA, population 7326, just received a MRAP (Mine Resistance and Ambush Protected) Armored Vehicle. It's 39,000 pounds and 10 feet tall, and is in every way that matters...

I haven't read the full book yet (I do have the eBook), but I am familiar with Radley Balko. I've read the excerpt of the book Rise of the Warrior Cop at the WSJ, and his stuff at Salon and Huffington Post. His stuff on the militarization of the police has been cited in court cases, by judges...

This is a recruiting video for the Springdale, Arkansas Armed Forces

Just out of curiosity, what does detention and lack of parking have to do with accurately filling out your logs?

The Moog joints are a more durable all metal and can be lubricated. The others are metal on polycarbonate and cannot be lubricated.

Driving while fatigued. Different states define it differently. Some states, like New Jersey, say that if you have been without sleep for 24 hours and are driving, it's reckless driving. Other states use, "as operating a motor vehicle when the driver’s alertness is so impaired, through...

There are already laws on the books against fatigued driving.

The ball joints do last quite a bit longer on the Sprinters than other vans, that's for sure. With mine, I've got me, the fridge, those batteries, all near the front and on the left side, so I expected, and have realized, a little more wear sooner than normal on bearings and joints. I've...

At 50 MPH you aren't likely to get a broker to question it, as most carriers figure 45 or 47 MPH, with a few (although more and more) carriers using the 50 MPH. 45 is better, especially on trips longer than about 600 miles, so that you can account for fuel stops and still have time for an hour...

That, or simply get a CPAP machine.

Here's the link on how to properly check the ball joints. Dr. A Tech Alert- Ball Joints - Sprinter-Forum 300,000 is a lot of miles on a set of ball joints. Mine is at 580,000 miles and I've replaced my lower ball joints twice, the second time just a few months ago. Uneven tire wear is the...

FMCSA will seek apnea regulation for truckers

I was on a load the other night and was getting sleepy. I pulled over and took a nap. Figured it was better to do that than to do it in the reverse order.

He's right. It's a PITA to replace, and if not done correctly can mess up some sensors, but a lot of people replace just the joints in the 08 and later models. I'm a big fan of Europarts, but I'd also look closely at Rock Auto (Moog part# K500113, $29.79 each). Absolutely! Dealers make more...

The Code Talkers (Navajo and others) and what they did remained classified until 1968.

Broke is a state of being, poverty is a state of mind.

Possibly, but Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. An angry, scorned woman will burn your house down while you are sleeping. You think she won't post pictures of herself and blame the ex for it? :D
