My cruise control isn’t the normal cruise control that’s been around for 20 plus years. Mine adapts to the cars in front of me, so it’s constantly breaking and when I have someone behind me on the highway it can cause problems if I’m breaking instead of taking my foot off the gas and slowing that way. It’s annoying and there’s no way to turn it off.
I belive this happened in NY?
Yes but I bring it as many of us travel outside NY. You do yourself for your diving expeditions yes?
That sounds like a big pile of bullshit to me.
My understanding from the Judge it is only Broome County Permit holders.

I travel to other countries too, but I don't really see the relevance to this incident.
Of course it's relevant. This discussion inovels travel and duty to inform policies. NY doesn't, Pennsylvania doesn't, Ohio used to until last year other states do. I think it's import to at least know the laws relevant to the location you are in since it can vary so much. What a person does with that knowledge is entirely up to them. It depends on the state, county ect. and I'm sure the individual officer but I do know that in places failing to inform in a location that has a legal requirement to do so can be a felony. It's important to at least know.I travel to other countries too, but I don't really see the relevance to this incident.
He has discretion to not be an asshole. He chose not to use that discretion = asshole
Mind boggling. So if someone is a veteran or current military member and breaks the law (by not just 2 or 3 mph but by 20!!!) they should be let to slide by? I’m sorry but I expect police officers to enforce the law regardless of whom the accused is. All the time on this forum I see people bitch about how police officers let people of status go without repercussion while those of us without status don’t get the same treatment.
I agree. 20mph over is ridiculous. I’d likely say to myself “what an idiot” as they flew by me. But to acknowledge that he’s a veteran and thank him for it and to thank him for informing him of his armed status and then not throwing him a bit of a bone is a dick move. Nobody’s getting in an accident for doing 20 over unless they’re weaving, tailgating, distracted or raging. So who/what is he saving the world from?
That would be the correct time to address the situation.
Being polite, respectful and courteous is fine, but disclosing information that is none of their business is unnecessary. Just like when they ask where you are going or where you are coming from... "That way." Is the correct answer. They do not need to know if you are leaving Home Depot and heading to home or if you're leaving a brothel and going to your dope dealer's house, and they should not be asking.
I said before that people don’t have to disclose the information, and I also mentioned that I have never given that information out during a traffic stop either. If I’ve been pulled over for some VTL violation, it is what it is and I have never felt the need to disclose that information. I was speaking for myself on what I would probably say if I was being asked to get out of a car depending on the circumstances and still said that everyone can decide on how they want to go about it their own way. But you saying that cops should not be asking it is also naive. Sure you don’t have to answer and can say “that way” or whatever else you want to answer with, that’s your right. But depending on the suspicion of the officer and reason for the stop, the operators answers can give more information to prove a crime. If someone gets pulled over for the suspicion of DWI/DWAI and the cop does not ask those types of questions, than he’s not doing his job. Those answers that he gets from the operator can only help solidify his case in court against someone that’s driving around drunk or for another crime. Maybe the person will be blatantly confused in which direction their traveling maybe they’ll have an excited utterance and admit to a crime…these are all things that are admissible in court. If you’re not guilty of anything, than you’ve got nothing to worry about no matter which way you answer.
This statement could not be more wrong
Good. If the law can't or shouldn't be enforced uniformely every time it's broken, then it needs to be rewritten or abolished.
Pulling someone over on the side of the road is very dangerous. We shouldn't be doing it at all short of a serious and immediate risk to life. Certainly not over 20mph over on an expressway.
Mostly because I felt it was a better option than just saying I have a gun.
I got a ticket in France when we were there and never knew it or got pulled over. They have cameras everywhere and it was $25.00. I just paid it because then the rental car will mess with your standing and I only have enterprises close to me so I didn’t want to get banned from renting from them.
Fake News.
