    Road Searches: No good answer

    An interesting challenge to the Border Patrol checkpoint. Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four If more people took the time to act in this manner, (I htink), a lot of the "I'm in charge" attitude of the authorities would stop.

    Police Harrassment

    If I had this officer, sitting beside me for miles, I might be a bit nervous also. And the video clearly shows the officer was the one drifting all over the roadway. This was shot from News5's helicopter ... Video here

    I think you missed the point Greg, the employess were parking within 50 feet of the door, thereby making parking for YOU, the customer to be elsewhere. Maybe in the back of the lot. Apparently corporate didn't think this was customer friendly. I get it. After all expediters are not the...

    Police Harrassment

    I'm not so sure Preacher was not correct in his telling og the stop. It does happen. Ever seen the "Drug Task Force" vehicles all over the south? They work in groups of as many as 5-6 vehicles. Here is an interesting video of a person't property being violated by some government employee...

    Police Harrassment

    While it is illegal to "profile", such as young Arab men saying their prayers before boarding the airplane, it isalive and well in the "war on drugs." Something about his van triggered them. Their attitude was their own! They could not have searched that van without permission, or probable...

    I had a phone call just now from "Steve" who said he was Director of Operations for TA ... he promises to respond via email when he has time. He stated the "E" is indeed employee parking. But expediters are welcome to use it. Also, he said they were not required by Nashville to provide...

    If I remember correctly there is a press release somewhere that explains the "E" ... I hope to find it. I spoke to a really nice lady this morning at the TA that is in charge of that parking. I have no real problem with them renting out the parking lot, it's real money maker for the home...

    What is a glad hand ?

    Sprinters take a max of 70psi and can be obtained at any fuel stop! :eek: :D I'm so pleased I got away from the "big rigs" .... those SS tires seem to come with a lot of problems, most of all the need to be repaired alongside the roadway, with with duals it was possible to limp to an exit for...

When I asked what he was doing with a glad hand rubber, he responded, "I was going to ask you if you knew what it was...
