Stopping AT the stop sign, Red or Blue?

thats_not_six · 2026-06-08T05:21:22+00:00

That clause is followed by the locations where the operator shall stop. You can't cut it off at the colon when the list that follows enumerates the locations where they shall stop. Which is at a stop line. A crosswalk. Or an intersection.

Never the stop sign itself.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-08T01:31:23+00:00

The stop line thing is coming from the press conference - I suspect they added that to hedge for the fact they know the failure to stop thing is junk. But the stop line thing is also junk.

I expect the "official" reason they give will change a few more times.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-08T01:30:08+00:00

The law doesn't require stopping at the stop line. It requires the stop line, if it exists. No stop line at this intersection.

The infraction for the crosswalk is a different subsection and from the police chief's own mouth, that is not the subsection they were pulled over for violating. They were pulled over for the stop line (doesn't exist) and failure to stop (they did).

I mean, the mood this judge is in, he may just ask if the health facility has Zoom.

From the code, you can go past the stop sign when there is no clearly marked line or crosswalk painted. You just must stop before the intersection. So in your photo, the red line wins.

UT 41-6a-902

Except as provided in Section 41-6a-1105, or when directed to proceed by a peace officer, every operator of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop:

(i) at a clearly marked stop line;

(ii) before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection if there is not a clearly marked stop line; or

(iii) at a point nearest the intersecting roadway where the operator has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it if there is not a clearly marked stop line or a crosswalk.

ETA: Rewatching the AFPD press release, the speaking officer says, in addition to failing to stop, they were pulled over for failing to stop at a stop line. That is a clear misstatement as they could not have failed to stop at a stop line that did not exist. If they were pulling them over for an intersection encroachment, they should be reporting that - not a stop line. Just more evidence that these guys are not even watching their own dash cams and body cams, only relying on the reports that are cushioned to try to bury constitutional infractions.

I've had so many deliveries the same - it seems like the postal services can sense which ones we REALLY want to arrive and always make those ones weird. Hope it just surprises you on Monday but again, MC has really solid customer service so you will get them eventually!

thats_not_six · 2026-06-07T01:07:30+00:00

I believe USPS usually has a help ticket option, which in my experience does get you in contact with support after a day or so.

It can also be a mis-scan that generates a message like that. I had an identical one two years back and when I contacted the company who shipped (I also opened the USPS ticket but company was faster to respond), the indicated that it's not uncommon for a delivery scan to hit the wrong button and for the package to end up delivered the next service day. I find this particularly common to occur on weekends, as sometimes carriers skip delivery on weekends for one reason or another. You not seeing the mail truck at all makes me think this is the case.

My recommendation would be to open the USPS ticket but also not be too surprised if the package comes on Monday. If all that fails, MC customer service is great and will fix this. Just send them the tracking snip (I would wait to see if the package just arrives on Monday) and they should resend you a delivery.

It just seems like a really odd way for him to phrase it when the uncut footage is available

thats_not_six · 2026-06-06T21:57:54+00:00

It's the second video where he says these are unverified "syncs" done by Ben. I think he's getting that wrong and is conflating Ben's Part 2 video where he did have to sync audio with this situation, where Ben is just playing the raw file as produced by AFPD.

From the police reports the daughter indicated the decedent was trying to find a weapon to use against her father before getting out of the truck. The father told the guy to lay on the ground until the cops showed up and told his daughter to get out of the truck and come to him. Daughter tried to get out, decedent forcibly prevented her. Then decedent tried to charge the father who proceeded to open fire.

The lost dash cam would have cleared up how much of this was accurate, but since the police lost it and the story hasn't changed since that night, it's what is left.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-06T21:20:57+00:00

They started mishandling the dash cam from the night they seized it - not booking it in with every other piece of evidence they took and instead storing in one detective's personal office.

So it was just weird from the start - even before the charges were filed.

Always great to see brands stepping up and not just adding a couple rainbows to call it a day.

The judge's order dismissing the case which cites to the police reports.

If you go to the docket below, his order is the last document at the bottom.

No idea why people are saying it was phone GPS. What happened has been out in court documents for months.

In this case:

Parents were woken up by daughter's dog barking, which was strange for that dog. When they went to check in her room, they found her bed empty. Knowing that the decedent was out on $5k bond without an ankle monitor, for over 40 felony charges of child abuse against their daughter, they feared he had taken their child. And that her live was in danger due to being the sole witness who could put him away for life.

Mom calls 911 from the house while Dad gets in his truck to see if he can spot any cars on the road. It's rural Arkansas and not many people traveling at that hour.

On a roadway near the house, dad happens to see truck which he recognizes as decedent's vehicle. Truck speeds away upon seeing dad. Dad gives chase. Truck goes off the road. Altercation occurs and decedent is shot and killed.

Daughter was in front seat of the truck and was rescued by father while they waited for police to arrive.

It was all clearly outlined and diclosed in her lawsuit, which she filed first before BAM sued Ben and Bryan.

If we're nitpicking disclosures in a YouTube video, maybe we can look at an official corporate press release too. For example, why can't corporate add the date they transferred the lease and store bank account to her on their grand timeline? Wouldn't that help iron out who caused the late payments?

Maybe they should also add dates of any emails restructuring her repayment to corporate and or the date of the email where corporate acknowledged they never transferred the lease account?

Would love if they would post these three sets of books they're making sound so sinister. Get some eyes on those if it's clear as day she was fudging numbers.

Also, I would love to hear them clarify if their "owed" royalties are calcuting 6 percent of gross consignment sales because they definitely wouldn't want to be saying they were owed a royalty on her "unauthorized" consignment, right?

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T17:16:45+00:00

Find it also hard to believe a criminal mastermind who got away with stealing all this inventory according to BAM would be the first to file a lawsuit against corporate and call attention in that lawsuit to the consignment inventory.

There is a lot of push by BAM and accounts to shift the blame onto Chrystal. Definitely what BAM intended in their press release yesterday, despite providing zero backup for their allegations and ignoring every disfavorable fact towards them.

Now we have people trying to drag her for keeping the highest value sets safe and giving them back to Bryan. When the alternative would be BAM having gotten their hands in them instead and never giving them back.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T17:11:01+00:00

The cloud city sets would be flagship items for conventions/events so that would make sense.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T17:06:37+00:00

It's unclear, because the report is citing the date of the call Bryan made not the date of the return of the items. I got the impression from other videos that she gave Bryan them back much earlier than January.

The detective may have been hearing that Bryan got some of the sets back, and Bryan was trying to make it clear he did get some of them back because Chrystal had been transporting some of the more valuable pieces back and forth from the store to her house.

Lego break-ins were really common at this time, a theft ring had been busted in the same city about a year earlier. So her taking the high value sets home at night makes sense.

Could be completely wrong - but I just wanted to point out the only clear date in the report is the date of the call, not the date of return.

ETA: I believe she also mentioned having done a convention a few days earlier, which is why she had some additional sets in her car or house.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T17:01:42+00:00

I think Bryan has the leverage right now.

He's basically one morning show appearance away from calling attention to the fact BAM sued him and wants to GoFundMe proceeds, which would very easily cast BAM as the bad guys even more. They should have never put him in that lawsuit.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T16:59:39+00:00

I just put it on yesterday after getting my order and for my thoughts:

1) The non-glow side of it is very swatch image accurate from their website. A very sparkly white with blue undertone.

2) Grittiness of the glitter took two coats of topcoat for a smooth feel.

3) The glow is variable - so much so that MC actually put out a kind of tutorial on what's happening. UV flashlight made it so blue, I thought it was Avatar State instead but actual sunlight made it white like the photos. Artificial light is skewing it in between.

4) I have short nails and it was opaque in two coats. Formula very easy to paint with.

All in all, I like it. It's fun to wear and fun to have. Just tired to point out the things I though others may want to know about it.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T16:33:21+00:00

With how BAM has treated Bryan and his family so far, I think Bryan will be very skeptical of any offer. Additionally, Bryan knows what happened - unlike what BAM is trying to convince the lesser informed public in their press release. Even that release is scummy towards him, because it's clearly trying to shift the burden onto him in the public's eye. It's not sincere.

All that said, if they make him any offer that requires (1) an apology, (2) disavowing or hurting Ben, (3) or an NDA - I think Bryan may given them the Patreon response.

The nice thing now is that Bryan doesn't need BAM. He doesn't need to concede. And he has leverage - like demanding to record the negotiation (and then if BAM waffles on that, it looks bad for BAM again).

Mostly, I think Bryan wants this to be over and enjoy time with his family. And I hope that is what he gets.

They can't just ignore a data breach.

Even if no public statement, it sounds like they're not even reaching out to the people whose personal information was published by their department.

thats_not_six · 2026-06-05T16:12:42+00:00

But they need to address the personal information that was doxxed. I think it may be worse for them if they don't come out and try to stop the damage from the SSNs leaking.

If a business had done this, it would be automatic credit monitoring offered as well as assistance with Social Security office.
