(380 posts)2. I appreciate the idea....
... but I know that if I got pulled over for this and it made me late to work, I'd be upset.

(36,745 posts)3. Guess what? It's Halifax, Virginia.
Wow...cool.

roamer65
(36,745 posts)5. Yup. Googled it to hear the audio.
It's Halifax, VA.

harrose
(380 posts)9. I don't think Gov. Kaine

No wonder I could not understand what politicians were talking about.
It's mostly gibberish.

harrose
(380 posts)19. Very well.
I could be wrong. It's possible that Virginia is an exception, but usually the governor of a state does not make policy for local police departments - especially at the level of decreeing that they hand out ice cream on hot days.
