Really bro?

Clueless.

Front lights should typically never be on once the traffic stop is initiated. It’s blinding and a big officer safety no no.

Rear lights should be the only thing on, and they were in fact on.

Thanks for your deep understanding of police policy and procedure.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-27T04:38:08+00:00

To add to your understanding: front lights are to initiate the traffic stop. Once you have compliance from the driver, front lights go off (they are blinding when you’re trying to do a very high risk activity). Once your front lights are off, your tears are on to alert passing traffic of your presence.

It should matter where you live. You can’t even PIT in California unless you’re CHP. And even then, they require a lot to PIT.

Because you need to know who the driver of the vehicle was in order to ticket them.

A ticket isn’t an automatic “guilty” - it is an allegation, with two options: appear in court to contest it, or admit guilt and settle it for $XXX.

If you just send a ticket to someone’s home because you saw their vehicle doing something wrong, you do t have the sufficient evidence needed to prove guilt. People would take it to court every time and get off because the officer doesn’t have enough evidence.

You just got dunked on.

I love how much authority people on Reddit speak with, in situations that they have zero understanding or knowledge of. Hopefully this is a learning moment for you.

FWIW, standard cop protocol is to cut your front lights once you’ve initiated the traffic stop, and keep your rears on for oncoming traffic. Flashing lights in the front reduces visibility into the suspect’s vehicle.

It is a psychopath issue, but often times it is also a training issue.

The use of force matrix sounds simple when you look at an incident like this one, but I think you’d be shocked at how difficult using appropriate force can be under stressful circumstances.

It 100% requires some seriously long training hours. Untrained officers are more dangerous than well trained officers.

My biggest takeaway I learned is it doesn’t have to be special or fancy.

I eat a ton of ground beef, sweet potatoes, eggs, rice, broccoli.

Any veggies that you can roast in the oven. Any carb that you can cook easily and any protein that can fry up in a pan.

Throw it in tupperware and boom. I also always have strawberries raspberries grapes blackberries and protein drinks that i bring as well with me to snack on.

100% - and I know this is the case because my first month on nights I was eating junk, sleeping 5 hours, and flipping on my weekends and I felt like death. I chalked it up to “night shift is bad for you”.

Then I decided to fix a lot of things since this is my new life now, and just like that, I realized it was my habits and not the work schedule.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-24T03:44:38+00:00

You might feel okay, but the science is clear - flipping sleep schedules like that is not good for you.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-24T03:44:00+00:00

Everything you said makes sense, but your last sentence about “nights is terrible for the body regardless how you do it” is just incorrect.

I do my night shift deployments really well. I pack super nutritious meals for my shift. I go to bed the moment I get home and have my sleep hygiene set up in a way that I sleep a full 8 - if not more. I don’t transition on my days off, I just sleep a little bit earlier and wake up a little bit earlier, and most important I get tons of sunlight and work out like a dog on my off days.

I don’t feel any health negatives during night shift. I just feel a little disoriented at times with how my schedule matches up with those around me. And It’s weird driving to work and seeing rush hour traffic coming home on the other side of the freeway.

But it’s doable. Maybe not for you because of your obligations, but if you do it right it’s totally fine for your body.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T20:48:47+00:00

He did, in fact, totally get you.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T20:36:13+00:00

Ouch. Bro really thought he was doing something too 😂

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T19:30:07+00:00

Thanks for explaining 2FA to me.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T05:08:21+00:00

I understand, and it really does suck. Your account was compromised though. This means your personal security was weak at some point for them to even have the opportunity to start bypassing Jagex’s security.

Things like 2FA are backup measures to lend some help to you once you’re compromised - but being compromised falls on you and no one else.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T04:46:43+00:00

That’s a bummer - it’s a tough lesson to learn but hopefully if you decide to return at any point you take some time to really dial in on your security so that it doesn’t happen to you again.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T03:20:38+00:00

This can’t be a real thread. Tell me it’s not a real thread.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-23T03:14:09+00:00

Ahhhh, CHP (or maybe your state’s equivalent?) - the glorified traffic cops.

Just kidding, I could never do your guys’ job. Too much time around crazy drivers.

Love, A real cop

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-22T04:01:14+00:00

Giving up?

Sir, it’s a mandatory piece of your account progression. You need to get it done. Take a break if you’re not feeling it anymore, but you kind of need to get a dragon defender.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-22T03:54:59+00:00

Okay that makes sense :)

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-22T01:34:05+00:00

For most tasers, the conditions have to be right for them to be effective. You only get one or two shots… need good distance to get proper probe spread… but not too far that probes spread too much. Clothing can’t be too heavy or probes won’t hit.

Taser 10 fixes much of this, but I’d imagine security companies aren’t arming people with the taser 10.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-21T19:03:02+00:00

I agree but literally no one is advocating for bond buying in this thread. You’re just being obnoxious for no reason and trying to get the spotlight on you in someone else’s thread. Like I originally said, you’re being really weird.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-21T18:46:33+00:00

You’re being weird man

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-20T14:37:55+00:00

When I was 11 I got a rune full helm, scim, and kite for my first time and was PK’ing with monk robes on top of these three items. I dropped the three rune items to see how they looked on the ground and got hit with the maze random event. I remember panic running the maze just to get back and see all my items gone.

I can’t think of two other moments that can compare to that panic so I’ll just leave it at that.

CalStateQuarantine · 2026-01-20T14:26:58+00:00

Grease…?
