      You’d be amazed how many people driving daily don’t and have never had a license. Used to be a police dispatcher, shit happens all the damn time.

        What’s the procedure then? Arrest, pressing charges, payments or other punishment I (blissfully ignorantly) assume

          Almost always a ticket, assuming that’s the only law you’re breaking. And they will certainly look for more!

          Funny story, I was arrested in Chicagoland one time for not having a license. (Lost my wallet, still had to work.) Officer had a high school kid (cop wannabe) for a ride-along and wanted to demonstrate arrest and booking procedures.

          In and out in 45 minutes but got stuck 30 miles from home.

      The individual whom put this up might not be the original owner of the vehicle. There’s a possibility someone vandalised the vehicle

        Any lower and it will be a line on the ground, judging by the example at hand.

    For those who are wondering if this picture is real or not, I couldn’t say. But I have seen a fair share of misspellings and bad grammar written on trucks about similar sentiments in Nevada (seeing where the license in the picture belongs to). The take away of this is that usually there is a correlation between education and conspiracies (believing in misinformation), and it’s a very real, serious issue in this country.

        Somebody should let the GOP know so they stop trying to defund education! Surely they wouldn’t want entire generations of people growing up to be ignorant, conspiracy believing assholes with no critical thinking skills!

      More specifically, we don’t really teach source analysis in a lot of schools anymore. I’ve run into college students who have no idea of how to discern that a source is bullshit - especially if the site or source looks well-polished and sounds like it knows what it’s talking about. Even a lot of Q people have figured out that the best way to draw people in is to look and sound professional, not just ranting into a camera in your truck cabin - you need a nice backdrop, and probably a polo shirt at minimum.

        Right!?

        When Republicans were initially investingating the 2020 election in Georgia, they called in a “forensic imaging specialist” who said that they would be able to determine which ballots were fabricated. I got a lot of flack for questioning the guy’s credentials online, but literally his biggest accomplishment in life was inventing a crappy barcode scanner shaped like a cat, and it was a huge flop.

        r/conservative was adamant that this dunce was going to overturn the election in Georgia…

    Oh my god it took me forever to realize that “Are rights have been taken away” contained a grammar error. I need more sleep.

    I saw this type of manifesto on a brand new Yukon the other day in the Hobby Lobby parking lot. It was all cut vinyl lettering, nice contrast of color against the shiny black paint. It was honestly surreal, and could be an untapped market for the folks at Cricut.

          It’d be fun, but I don’t think you’re supposed to tell potential customers that you think they’re nuts before they order anything, unfortunately.

            You assume they could figure out that you’d be making fun of them. I think they probably lack the critical thinking and self-awareness for it to matter.

            I’ve said many times that I can’t get rich off of stuff like this because I have a soul and wouldn’t be able to be ok with parting fools from their money. That might be you, too.

              Yup. I could make all sorts of money if I was just willing to have the morals of a disney villan. Scamming people is so easy and theres a lot of ways where you can do it so your victim will even fight tooth and nail to convince everyone else that they aren’t actually being scammed.
