Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

Some on here seem to have the left “blame the cops” for everything bad mentality

I run a repair shop. My Police customers seem to pull their trailers for their mowers with either expired tags. the licence plate missing or they will pull the tag off of one of their other trailers and put on that trailer to deliver or pickup their mowers. I have never had a state trooper, county deputy or conservation officer come into the shop with a trailer properly tagged.

I see that with our State's "Farm Exempt" plates, but that makes more sense since they are only going a few miles on county roads.

WRONG, it is not a right, left thing, it is not a "blame the cops" for everything, it is discussing observed examples of police NOT doing their job which is suppose to be public safety. That and setting a bad example by breaking the very laws they are suppose to enforce.

I have known LEO's, local and state over the years, liked and had a good relationship with some but there were some I would not leave the house unlocked with them around either.

I am pretty sure we all support law enforcement, they certainly do a job I or most people want no part of. Just cannot abide the ones that thing they are above the law or better than.

Ever see a cruiser that wasn't speeding? They should lead by example.

I used to drive from Palmdale into the San Fernando Valley every morning, tool along at ~60 mph until the cop headed to court and his train passed me. Then put your foot on the floor to get into the draft at 90+. He would tow 40+ cars for the next 20+ miles before exiting the freeway and everyone had to coast back down to ~60. EVERY DAY for over a year, except when the pass was closed for snow.

So my stats come from personally ribbing the officers about the trailer license plate issues.

They really have to buy plates for all their trailers? Buy one, swap out to whichever one is being pulled that day. What a concept...

I seem to recall reading that at one time in UK a person could have the same plate number on several vehicles. The plate identified the owner.

If I remember right, in Wisconsin small(ish) trailers did not need plates at all. Still the same, there?

Another overlooked item when a trailer is going down the road, in MD, any dual axle trailer requires a brake break-away device regardless of the GVW of the trailer! Seen way to many with a break-away on trailer with 4 pin flat wiring to tow vehicle. Those are the one to stay clear of! I worked for someone that tried to run truck and trailers with non working trailer brakes! I put stop to that by cutting all wiring and said that I would report if not done right! Said it come back on driver, not company! Rant over.
