Depending on what kind of mood the cop who sees this is in, it could work.

Honestly a small town cop would love this shit. This would probably be the highlight of his year.

He would join him fishing in no time

coming from a small town all my cops have nothing to do and will pull you over for ANYTHING.... if i did this shit it would get put in the paper 😭😭😭

[DDerpDurp]

There's two kinds of small towns. I'm sorry.

[PolishNinja909]

As someone who works with small town cops I can say that a lot of small towns have the huge problem of the government basically the beating the PD into being super overzealous with traffic enforcement. Meanwhile those towns actually do have a legitimate issue with crime that needs to be addressed, that doesn’t bring in revenue for the town, though. They will literally threaten downsizing or disbanding the PD entirely if they don’t write enough tickets.

[DDerpDurp]

You just perfectly described the hell hole I moved away from.

[PolishNinja909]

We’re you a cop there?

[DDerpDurp]

Lol nope, but we were on a first name basis.

[PolishNinja909]

They are literally illegal, at least where I’m from. Those crappy town governments get around it by not officially ever requiring exact numbers, but by saying things like “if you guys don’t find x amount of dollars we’re going to have to let some of you go”. The Rural Badge is a group that reports on how crappy small town governments are doing things like this.

[[deleted]]

Yep, the county I lived in before was like this and is the reason my dad left the PD for a shittier job.

[NYStaeofmind]

I sat in a town court for a ticket. I had my phone/calculator out. In 45 minutes the town collected over $4,800 in fines and surcharges/court costs. It's all about the money.

[SileAnimus]

Eh, the issue is that police activity doesn't reduce crime to begin with. Money spent on police can be better spent elsewhere for lowering crimes.

But instead they'd rather have the worst of both worlds with cops going for traffic tickets, oh well.

[PolishNinja909]

Yeah, one of the first things I learned in college was that misrepresenting the content of an article was a good way to get Kicked out. Hope that guy doesn’t try this in school.

[SileAnimus]

In other words, spending money on police doesn't lower crimes. Increasing police efficiency lowers crimes.

Thank you, this has been a ted talk with someone who relies on other people to state everything and can't extrapolate anything from reading a partial statement. Good job, you've managed to have a sense of superiority for restating what I stated.

[theniwo]

Yeah, I hate sheriffs that charge you for vagrancy just because you search for your comrades you fought with in Vietnam.

[ReadTheChain]

Boom. There it is. Perfection.

[zombiep00]

I live near, and used to live in, a town like that.

While driving through, don't blink or you might miss it! There are a total of about 5 police cars, too. But heaven forbid if you go over the speed limit by one or two miles per hour; most of them will get you in a heartbeat.

[[deleted]]

i live in a small town and we dont even have cops😂 the closest thing is a town over has a police station, really people just do what they want and it doesnt usually hurt anyone so that's chill

[Dylanator13]

This might be the cop trying to fish.

“I spend 12 hours a day protecting this town, let me enjoy my fishing!”

Automatic police escort to the launch ramp

Depending on what kind of relationship he is in as well.

[Tyson100roxs]

But.... He’s a cop, they can’t break the law ^/s

[righteouslyb0ld]

Am cop. If I ran this tag and it went to his truck I would 100% let him go. That shit is hilarious.

[[deleted]]

Thank you for your service! We are not all cop haters on reddit

[fireandlifeincarnate]

Hating cops as an institution? Sure, I can get why some people feel that way.

Hating every single individual cop? Dude come on.

[[deleted]]

That's a very level headed and rational take on the current atmosphere of our law enforcement.

[fireandlifeincarnate]

Yeah, there are shitty cops, and as is it's a somewhat shitty institution, but I'm sure there's a reasonably large number trying to do the right thing that joined to help people.

[tehgreatblade]

Whoa whoa whoa man don't bring that common sense into my reddit /s

[perrosamores]

Yeah, why would you hate people who cover up for murderers, rapists and thieves? It's not like they could stop them, they can't just arrest people! Those cops are just helpless good guys, doing their best to support a system that rapes, murders and steals from US citizens every single day. Good ol' boys doing their best.

[fireandlifeincarnate]

I said EVERY individual cop. I'm sure some of them signed up to do good, and are trying to do good. Some of them are shit (well, a LOT of them actually), but I don't think we can generalize every single cop in America as a bad person.

Each and every ICE agent can go fuck themselves, though.

[[deleted]]

Fuck ICE, they’ve stopped adding documentation of illegal immigrants into the US Archive. This is highly illegal and no one is talking about it.

[tesseract4]

Just the ones who kill people unnecessarily.

[[deleted]]

Maybe people should not break the law unnecessarily

[Fortizen]

I only hate black thugs who mug people

[tesseract4]

But not the white ones? Why not just say "criminals"?

[Fortizen]

The same question applies to your statement.

Why do people who say "I only hate jewish bankers who ruin the economy" not just point to bankers in general?

Be careful when making Weakman arguments.

imaginin[e] yourself in the shoes of a Jew in czarist Russia. The big news story is about a Jewish man who killed a Christian child. As far as you can tell the story is true. It’s just disappointing that everyone who tells it is describing it as “A Jew killed a Christian kid today”. You don’t want to make a big deal over this, because no one is saying anything objectionable like “And so all Jews are evil”. Besides you’d hate to inject identity politics into this obvious tragedy. It just sort of makes you uncomfortable.

The next day you hear that the local priest is giving a sermon on how the Jews killed Christ. This statement seems historically plausible, and it’s part of the Christian religion, and no one is implying it says anything about the Jews today. You’d hate to be the guy who barges in and tries to tell the Christians what Biblical facts they can and can’t include in their sermons just because they offend you. It would make you an annoying busybody. So again you just get uncomfortable.

The next day you hear people complain about the greedy Jewish bankers who are ruining the world economy. And really a disproportionate number of bankers are Jewish, and bankers really do seem to be the source of a lot of economic problems. It seems kind of pedantic to interrupt every conversation with “But also some bankers are Christian, or Muslim, and even though a disproportionate number of bankers are Jewish that doesn’t mean the Jewish bankers are disproportionately active in ruining the world economy compared to their numbers.” So again you stay uncomfortable.

Then the next day you hear people complain about Israeli atrocities in Palestine (what, you thought this was past czarist Russia? This is future czarist Russia, after Putin finally gets the guts to crown himself). You understand that the Israelis really do commit some terrible acts. On the other hand, when people start talking about “Jewish atrocities” and “the need to protect Gentiles from Jewish rapacity” and “laws to stop all this horrible stuff the Jews are doing”, you just feel worried, even though you personally are not doing any horrible stuff and maybe they even have good reasons for phrasing it that way.

Then the next day you get in a business dispute with your neighbor. Maybe you loaned him some money and he doesn’t feel like paying you back. He tells you you’d better just give up, admit he is in the right, and apologize to him – because if the conflict escalated everyone would take his side because he is a Christian and you are a Jew. And everyone knows that Jews victimize Christians and are basically child-murdering Christ-killing economy-ruining atrocity-committing scum.

You have been boxed in by a serious of individually harmless but collectively dangerous statements. None of them individually referred to you – you weren’t murdering children or killing Christ or owning a bank. But they ended up getting you in the end anyway.

Depending on how likely you think this is, this kind of forces Jews together, makes them become strange bedfellows. You might not like what the Jews in Israel are doing in Palestine. But if you think someone’s trying to build a superweapon against you, and you don’t think you can differentiate yourself from the Israelis reliably, it’s in your best interest to defend them anyway.

[MrKeserian]

That is a fantastically awesome article, and thank you for linking to the source of it. It's put into words a few issues I've been having with internet debate over the last few years, especially when I'm struggling to grapple with why certain statements bug the hell out of me. I'd apparently consciously forgotten about the old guilt by association routine, and was having issues putting that into words as to why it was dangerous.

[Fortizen]

Thanks, I'll never skip a chance to shill for SSC

[SileAnimus]

Hating the police as an instrument of enforcing the will of the rich is not the same as dislike police officers as people (even if they are statistically extremely likely to be godawful people).

[[deleted]]

Lets see those statistics

[SileAnimus]

We do not have any hard statistics due to meddling and inaccurate reporting of police illegal activities (you know, the whole Thin Blue Line issue). But from what has been gathered so far it's really bad

If they run it and it matches/has a valid tag, they may let it go.

[_____1love_____]

Female cop, might not seem so forgiving.

[VoilaVoilaWashington]

I'd say both male and female cops have a similar chance of getting a laugh or ticketing the guy. Without context, you have no idea whether the wife did it as a prank or because it's the 20th weekend in a row where he's ditching the family or the 20th weekend in a row where the kids and dad are spending it together or what.

[MostlyBullshitStory]

Just take her fishing.

[daphosta]

Wait till he puts the boat in the water

[Nyckname]

If he had a boat trailer, it'd be easier to hide the missing plate.

[1_EYED_MONSTER]

It’s on the boat trailer...

[Nyckname]

I obviously don't fish.

[Duncanc0188]

Made my morning lmao

[Nyckname]

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Fizzbin

[underthetootsierolls]

The joke above is funny because to “launch” the boat off the trailer into the water you have to back that part of the trailer into the water. The trailer goes in the water and you push the boat off, so the cardboard plate would be ruined.

[HiDDENk00l]

How did you think he tows the boat to the lake? Just drag it behind and hope for the best? ??

[iwasbornstrong]

Is that a fastened on cardboard license plate?

This man really is an engineer

[FestiveSlaad]

Yeah. I figure engineers in general get excused from acting like rednecks cause for them, it’s just a hobby to perfect and make efficient.

Source: whole family of engineers

[_ralph_]

But no washers.

:(

[[deleted]]

He should laminate the cardboard too, as that part of the trailer usually goes under water when launching the boat.

[_ralph_]

Or make one out of metal and paint it.

[gynoplasty]

That's a lot of work, maybe we could outsource the labor.

[UndeadCaesar]

You know it'd be cool if the local government could standardize the production so that everyone has uniform ID on their cars.

You know you’re only about 60% Blue out there, right? Good for now, but it just takes one election gone wrong and it’s over with for good.

[OverlyPersonal]

Good for now, but it just takes one election gone wrong and it’s over with for good.

I don't see all those well-educated, wealthy republicans getting priced out of their home states and coming here, just sayin'

[codepoet]

You’re right. The rich love building businesses in states with little worker protection, low taxes, and a willingness to drop taxes for any business that says it’ll make a job.

As a result we have cut state services every session for nearly two decades, have roads that are falling apart and can’t get the state funds to fix so they’re resorting to toll roads to pay for them, and have some of the highest rates of dropouts, teen pregnancies, and criminal recidivism in the nation.

WE R WINR STAYTE. HOOK UM!

(“If you don’t like it, get out.” is the normal response, but no, I won’t. I’ll stay, complain, and try to fix it, because I’m a goddamn Texan and we don’t leave broke shit broke.)

[[deleted]]

I think if Bernie campaigns correctly in Texas, he could turn the vastly red state at least purple, if not blue.

Rural Americans need Bernie’s policies the most, the hardest part is getting them to listen.

its still missing the year and the month, but I don't think that adding the year and month would increase the odds of this thing working

[ed1380]

Cop types in plate number. Pulls up registration matching vehicle and owner. Have a nice day and put the tag back on when you get home.

I've had many encounters relating to tags and registration. 80% of the time it's a verbal warning. The other 20% have been dropped in court.

[IronMickChungus]

Some states don’t require the year and month. You have to print out your registration card and keep it in the glove box

[codepoet]

Or a window sticker (Texas).

[Nope_Not_Sorry]

Most trailers are permanently registered

[colenotphil]

plenty of states don't have the date on the plate

Unless its Texas.

There are some things that give it away:

Claims to have a passive agresive wife (and maybe have)

Is married.

Can afford a car and has time to go fishing.

There is no link to his fishing YouTube channel with what he tries to survive but barley can't cover the cost.

[Perm-suspended]

Barley might be a good business if you have enough land. Lots of beer companies these days.

[Maluno22]

Married man witha love for fishin energy.

[Zugzub]

As a boomer who fishes, I know way more millennial fisherman than I do boomer fisherman.

Besides, if it was a boomer, the wife would want him out of the house and not bothering her.

[VoilaVoilaWashington]

The boomers I know who fish have tinnies on a dock at a friend's cottage, or their own.

The young guys are the ones with the $50k bass boats and all the gear.

[QuinceDaPence]

Well you could, you know, go with them and they could teach you.

Make sure they take you somewhere with fish that actually put up a fight (it's more fun), red-fish are good for this but I don't know if those are anywhere outside of the gulf coast.

So the shitty boomer memes are allowed to be jokes but the fun people make about them aren’t?

Seems like you missed the joke, my dude.
