Reasons to despise cops
I'd be fine with cameras if there is no private money involved. It always goes wrong when it's for profit. Everywhere its been tried. The UK has been at it for decades. Last time I left they had placed average speed cameras on the motorways. Plate is logged going through checkpoints. If you make it through in less time than standard, you were speeding at some point. The mobile units were the most effective at generating revenue though. They'd pop up and generate a couple hundred tickets in the span of a few hours. I just looked and its estimated that the UK has 7,000+ traffic enforcement cameras. A giant chunk of those aren't operational and they still get people to slow down unless you're aware and gambling that 'this one hasn't flashed in months' so i'll risk it.

AF mandated inspections for all m18s was released. Essentially removing the FCU and inspecting for burrs and issues with the sear.

The pilot and his girlfriend both arrested for fucking their 11 year old daughter starting when she was only 6.- Flying Videos Thread Part 2?
Spanish air force pilot has been praised for his “exemplary speed and professionalism”, after he performed a maneuver to avoid a flock of birds during the International Air Festival in Gijon. https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/clyr2qx0y87o https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/clyr2qx0y- The new airline thread
FST is voluntary and refusing has no automatic repercussions. Cop can still arrest you for DUI with probable cause. You can then take the station breathalyzer or blood test. Refusing either is implied consent violation and 180 day suspension appealable after 15 days.- Gun Talk
They've tried the 'upgrade' process already. Anything short of a full buyback won't pass muster with general public. Anything they do will open them to further lawsuits. Unless there is some new testing that completely removes responsibility from the gun itself, it's not going to be pretty.- The new airline thread
Does anyone in the states do roadside breathalyzer's anymore?- The new airline thread
If a cop is asking you to do FST, he already thinks you’re going to fail. He’s just looking for more proof.- Gun Talk
SIG came in WAY under what the other test submissions offered. It also offered the modular functionality that the others didn't.- Gun Talk
The added manual safety doesn't have any effect on the M18 over the 320. The 320 was/is having issues without the manual safety. You aren't wrong that the safety is a dumb govt requirement though.- Gun Talk
From what I've been able to read, all the FBI testing was essentially inconclusive due to the testing requirment modifications that needed to be done to the guns. Couldn't entirely rule out that the modifications didn't exacerbate the problem. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Zero reason to field/employ this system because of that. The AF got 125,000 M18s for about $150 a pop.- Gun Talk
Army carry conditions are tailored to the lowest common dumbass. For some reason the AF carry condition is tailored to the af patrol cop in the hood of base housing.- Gun Talk
Well this is gonna get REAL interesting https://www.warren.af.mil/News/Releases/Article/4251188/90th-missile-wing-confirms-on-base-airman-fatality/ Confirmed M18 discharge while in the holster apparently being set down on desk. Global Strike has mandated no M18 use until investigation complete. I'm sure the other commands will follow suit.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- The Next President is...
The years of delay and lack of prosecution makes it pretty clear that all parties and folks are involved in some aspect.- A330 Tanker loses the boom...
Perfect. Yeah i'm not saying the boom pod setup had anything to do with the latest mishap, just more why the fuck they did it in the first place. Thanks.- A330 Tanker loses the boom...
Does anyone know where the push for the remote boom pod came from? From cursory searches, no space was gained by moving it forward. What was gained by seemingly complicating the process?- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- The Next President is...
I think the whole point of the operation was EVERYONE was involved. Hence no pushback from anyone over the age of 30.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
