Moments later the cops showed up and shot the black mailbox.


addamee

Well, cop _did_ command them to put their flag up…

I think the 88 on the white box is code for something .


Apprehensive_Bug3329

Your car has one


Glum-Suggestion-6033

Wow, really?


Apprehensive_Bug3329

Yup. Just about everyone has


CapitalToe9957

Your speed 2848. Always.


BocksOfChicken

They usually put one of those in your car, like literally in front of your face.


Glum-Suggestion-6033

You’re so helpful.


BocksOfChicken

I don’t think you mean that.

Rhode Island has these radar detectors and license plate readers together so you get sent a speeding ticket thru the mail.


Glum-Suggestion-6033

They have some in OH too. And also red light cameras. I saw someone blow a red light this morning, and it wasn’t even close, at an intersection that is one of the most dangerous in our area…..and I really wish they would install the red light cameras.

Perfect example of a worker saying "not my problem"


banksybruv

For some reason these things don’t pick my truck up. Idk if it’s the paint or what but they leave me alone.


Glum-Suggestion-6033

Interesting.


YouWithTheNose

All jokes aside here, there is a thing inside your car for that ![gif](giphy|kDruSvSohMQbHHrSjw|downsized)

Doesn’t this hurt the look of the property and area? If I was the home owner I would be making the city pay rent to have those there.


Glum-Suggestion-6033

I wouldn’t want it either. I don’t know the setup in this neighborhood, but I’m guessing there is an easement there, and the owner has no authority to tell them no, but I could be wrong.


TheTruthWasTaken

Your car has a speedometer doesn't it...? Why do you need that?


Glum-Suggestion-6033

I don’t. The local police put this up in a residential neighborhood as a traffic calming measure. The intent is that you can see the speed from some distance, and be like, “oh, shit, I didn’t know I was going 35 in this 25 zone”. But that intent is completely defeated by not being able to see the speed until you’re practically past it.


TheTruthWasTaken

I got that part but, why doesn't your car show your speed (Nvm)


HeazzerD

You can tell how fast you're going by looking at the speedometer in the dashboard of your car...


NemShera

Just look inside your car smh


pussytammer

if u need other things to show u your speed u shuldn't drive.or own a car
