Y’all might have noticed a case listed at the bottom of my screen cap image from my phone. Riley v California is a SCOTUS decision from 2014 that determined that police do indeed require a warrant to search the contents of a cell phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riley_v._California

Considering that I had to provide all this information less than a year ago to renew my CDL, you’d think they could’ve put that bloody gold star on it then. But noooooooo! At least my DMV is in Dyersburg and I’ll be in and out in minutes. Hate for y’all in the big metros.

They can’t access my phone without a passcode, as is common these days. I don’t have biometric unlocking turned on, so no fingerprints or face scans. When they pick up my phone, this is what they will see.

I lived in OB for a bit in ‘06.

You San Diego folks will recognize one of my tattoos.

Very true, but it’s fun to rehash now and then for our audience.

Any company I work for has the prerogative to request a cab facing camera, I can choose to comply or quit. I’m not too far from you in that if the cops don’t want to wear bodycams they absolutely should quit. As their employer (at least they claim to work fork for the people, I have doubts about that), I want them to wear them because no, I don’t trust them to be honest. If they don’t like it, I don’t care. Just like the companies that require cab cameras don’t really care if I like it or not. We both have choices to make and both have to live with the consequences. Out of curiosity, what do you think about the departments that have added officers to lists of non-trusted for warrants and affidavits because of their social media posts documented by the Plain View Project?

New developments: Chris Cox has been suspended. Man, the NRA is going down in flames, and fast. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/nra-lawsuit-wayne-lapierre-chris-cox.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

At least 100 yards.

I’m just saying, if you put a camera on me, nudity will be involved.

I have a crew of other drivers that I talk to. Driving a CMV while talking on the phone using a headset is legal and isn’t rocket surgery. We drive and chat all day. As far as cab facing cameras go, while increasingly common, they are by no means universal or even close to it. My take on them is if you can’t trust me to get your freight from point a to be safely without your eye in the sky watching me, you don’t need me to be hauling for you. My company tested them and determined that they were a greater liability than potential benefit. Anyone who wants to put a camera on me can pound sand.

Nah. Indentured servitude was voluntarily entered into and theoretically had a defined end term.

Good choice of words for we really are all serfs.

Double posts happen from time to time, but you aren’t too stupid to figure out how to delete the second post. You’re just not allowed.

So then it’s not about safety, it’s about revenue.

So obviously dude has sever mental problems, but sometimes the kindest thing that can be done is to take ‘em out back and give them the Old Yeller treatment.

Make friends with private land in Fayette or Tipton counties is the best advice I can give you. Your options are that, join MSSA or being willing to drive more than 50 miles. The closure of the outdoor range in Shelby Farms was s huge blow to the shooting sports and education in the Memphis metro area. It killed access for the casual shooter.

Will this holster rock me, Amadeus?

You’re welcome.

Yeah, I spend all day on the phone. It keeps me from dying of boredom. An inward facing camera is on my list of things that are a hard pass for me with regards to working for a company.

I’m a truck driver. That’s been the law for me for years.

Non-firearms would be the place.
