I won't post most of them here because there's a lot of political messaging on them, but here's a non-political one for our speed limit obedience enthusiasts

Some people are such losers. I probably would get close for a second 😅😅.

I don't tailgate as a rule. But I'd definitely make an exception in this case.

And it’s a CR-V so you know that thing is driving the speed limit or below…..

Agreed on both points.

I agree. I’d rather have a 1st Gen Volkswagen Toureg with a W12 or a new Toureg with the twin turbo V8 diesel

The SovCit stuff is hilarious.

No drivers license, no tags, no registration, no insurance = No problem!

Wow, that is priceless. Haha 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Like we don't have enough cameras always watching, sniffing, and stalking. Lol

Yep, lol

There was one squatting in a mansion for sale here in Memphis back in 2013. The amount of time it took for them to “evict” her was infuriating. Agents couldn’t even show the house because she put padlocks and chains on the gate. She also put a ridiculous sign on the gate proclaiming blatantly that sovereign citizens claimed the home and could not be evicted or removed! lol Oh and she was driving a Jaguar S type with no license plate.

It’s hilarious up until one of them hits you. We don’t have a lot of sovereign citizens here, but we do have a lot of unlicensed and uninsured people on the roads. My auto insurance was increased by 23% last year and the plethora of uninsured motorists was the justification for it. For those of us who comply with license and insurance requirements, we are over a barrel with regard to insurance.

This sovereign citizen thing I had NO idea about until I started watching Live PD. And it seems like they get their fair share (off camera).

These people are ridiculous, I love it when they get arrested.

And that CRV I would tailgate probably a mile or so (not too too close) and laugh. Imagine that person as your neighbor. This is why I won't accept anything but a corner lot.
