I would go for that as an explanation because birds of a feather....

When I say Putin, it covers all the disinformation campaigns coming out of Russia. They are doing this to hurt our society and taking joy in our division.

Muffler tint? Is it that stuff where diesel trucks blow smoke on innocent people on the sidewalk? I've forgotten how many times that was done to me

Seatbelt violation
Cellphone
Disobey sign

Talk about over-policing.

Now that there is no cash windfall truckers may be less likely to want to pay for violations.

Fucking ridiculous cops let whites get away with damn near anything. Improper muffler? You would be dragged out and tazed to a crisp if you pulled that shit in my city.

UTTER

FUCKING

LAWLESS

OCCUPATION

When the fuck do the arrests start? Where is the fucking military? If Canadian military doesn't have the guts to round up this trash maybe it's time to bring in NATO or the Queen's battalion.

Police there and they know who each driver is so if the s*** hits the fan they will be able to arrest them the day they get home. Nothing like 10 days of reconnaissance. Better yet they should go up to them and say "hi Bob Smith. We know who you are. Happy trails back to Edmonton".

Always enjoy seeing different reactions to things being over run and shut down depending on who is doing it.
