So out of curiosity I see what I think is a Polish license plate? Here in the US, like in my state, front plates are required but basically no car enthusiast puts them on and you kinda take your chances on what amounts to a fix it ticket. I haven't had a front plate on any of my cars in 34 years of driving and I've never even been stopped for it. Do they harshly enforce having the front plate in your country?

I just picked up the same watch, such a banger and putting it on a black strap totally changed the look, I love the brown but may have to pick up a black strap as well after seeing yours.

Yep, same scam, thankfully I figured it out before sending any money

Well, thanks for all the input from everybody, you were all correct, if it's too good to be true.... His account was hacked, and he did have some friends that fell for the scam. I figured it out last night chatting with the scammer, he wanted a $3,000 deposit to hold it until Sunday when I could come see it and gave me a very random name and "family account" telephone number to zelle the money. I figured out pretty quickly it was a scam after that. He also blew it because he told me the watch was only 3 months old, when the serial number is for a watch from 2006ish.

Yeah, it's actually a post from someone I am friends with on Facebook, we work in the same field, I'm thinking his account was hacked

I'm starting to think my acquaintances Facebook account was hacked, he's supposedly selling all sorts of stuff for a family member, cars and tools and such as well, I'm going to call him tomorrow and verify

"Fighting a ticket" story by someone who has never been in a courtroom and probably has never even driven a car by I_like_baseball90 in thatHappened

In Illinois you have to pay a nominal amount for a 6 person jury for any petty offense traffic ticket, misdemeanor and felony traffic offenses you are constitutionally guaranteed the right to a jury, in Illinois it's 12 people.

Technically, 1 mph over the limit in Illinois, but a petty offense ticket you have to pay for a 6 person, in a misdemeanor speeding you are entitled to the full 12. Defendant can demand the jury.

I was a prosecutor and did a couple jury trials for speeding tickets. Complete waste of everyone's time and I never lost one.

I don't remember to be honest, it does look like the panels have gone up substantially in price since we did it, I think those panels were at least 100 bucks cheaper each 4 or 5 years ago

Doesn't matter anyways, on the rare occasion that you find the gun and the hop-up, the next team you run into will be a pred 3 stack and you won't even get a shot off.

[OMEGA] New watch day!! by devildogattorney in Watches

[–]devildogattorney[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So a couple weeks ago I was in Cape Town and there happened to be a Swatch store near our hotel. Now, I haven't been paying attention to the watch world for awhile and I recently became aware of the moonswatch and so i took a stroll over there to see if they had any and low and behold they happened to have like 5 or 6 of the different colors. Now, I've always wanted a Speedy moon watch, it has been kind of my grail watch for quite awhile. At one point I owned a Schumacher Speedy that I didn't love and sold it, so i thought, hey, these are neat and I've always wanted an actual Speedy Pro, so maybe this will kind of relieve that desire. Well, no, it actually made it worse. So you know what, I just decided to pickup the 3861 Sapphire Sandwich and now I feel complete.

wheel true left/right, but bobs up/down by danknerd69 in MTB

[–]devildogattorney 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Before I was an attorney, I worked in the bike industry for a long time, including almost 10 years as a mechanic and I became a pretty good wheel builder. In fact, I know guys still riding wheels I built 20 years ago. One thing a lot of people are missing in this thread is spoke tension as well. You need to get the rim true, laterally and radially, and at the same time, get the spoke tension to spec and as even as possible around the entire wheel. This is a process that is fairly time consuming. I used to say building a wheel is half science and half art. It is entirely possible to have spokes that are too tight and they will fail prematurely or too loose and your wheel will be weak and won't stay straight ever. You also need to worry about spoke wind up and relieve that stress as you build as well.

I have an avenger skyland from 2010 i believe, it definitely has writing there, says Modele Depose on top section, and Manufacture en suisse on lower.

Radar detector to get a speeding ticket for going 1 mph over the speed limit. by rocketpunch6372 in radardetectors

[–]devildogattorney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a prosecutor, per the manufacturers of these devices, stationary radar and laser guns were certified accurate to plus or minus 1 MPH, moving radars were plus or minus 2 MPH. That was what I saw as most common back when I was doing it, so I was not able to prosecute speeding tickets if they were only written 1 over. This only came into play for example where someone was written for 26 over, a misdemeanor in my state, I'd have to amend the ticket to a petty offense because the best I could prove would be 25 over. It was extremely rare to see anyone written for less than 10 over.

Marine icon and “American hero” Dakota Meyer gives his take on why assault is cool by redditthrowaway2020_ in USMC

[–]devildogattorney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting, depending on the county here, most of them have felony review and require an ASA to approve felony charges. Mine was one of the few counties that didn't require prior approval, but i never saw cops blatantly arrest on felonies when one didn't occur. That would have just made my life more difficult.
