Was wondering, Sedan_Clan, if you or any of your colleagues will be working security for the Super Bowl?
Noticed on the news today they mentioned Sheriff's dept. as well as L.A. Police will be working security.

Many of my partners on the department will, but I won't. I'll be off that day and I try my best to stay away from stadium and Rose Parade overtime. I do my overtime at the station on Wednesday nights and Friday nights from midnight to 6am.

Are you expecting any riots if the Rams lose? Or if they win?
That might be just an Oakland thing. |

This was NYC on Friday for the funeral of 22 year old NYPD Officer Jason Rivera.

My father in law worked for Overnight at the time, so I knew about penalties for trucks speeding, so I figured I'd just pass on the right when the opportunity presented itself. I got into the right lane, and when the next long on-ramp came I used it to pass the trucks on the right. 20 miles or so down the Interstate I get pulled over by an angry police officer threatening to take me to jail for driving recklessly on the shoulder. He had me out on the highway while he spoke to the other people in the car as well. I honestly had no idea what was going on. When I finally figured it out I explained my side of the story, he took my license (thinking I'd have no fun in New Orleans without it), and let me go. Since that time I have read that in such cases both parties must go to court, and it seems like what the officer did by taking the witness' side, and my license, was illegal. 1. Was what I did illegal (using the onramp to pass)? It was a LONG on-ramp. 2. Was the HP in the right to take my license? 3. Can a police officer take a witness' side without seeing it happen? |

First a little education about trucks. Most 53'/74' semi-trucks are governed at/around 65-mph, so understand that they don't really have what I would call "passing power", especially when you consider their laden weight.

You don't like the law because you broke the law? I'm no angel but I'll take my lumps if deserved. Grow up.

I feel like if someone reports you for reckless driving you should at least have the opportunity to explain yourself before you are convicted on the side of the road. I believe that's what court/trial is for. But this officer didn't want to hear my side of the story, he just took my license and sent me on my way, based on someone else's observation. If this is indeed the way it is, then anyone could say anything and have you pulled over for it, which doesn't seem legal, or correct to me. |

I called and spoke with the clerk of court and they agreed to send me my license back without an infraction, but if I did get an infraction in that state within 90 days then I'd have to appear in court. |

The other thread got me thinking about something that happened to me. When we were with the RV I ended up in the middle of the bronx with a 20’+ truck and 32’ trailer. Also I had just picked up this bigger truck and trailer maybe a week or so before. I was driving around and around on these narrow ass streets with cars parked everywhere, I’m having a nervous break down, my gf is freaking out, people are the street are like WTF kinda bus is that!??
The issue was everywhere we turned there was an underpass that was too low for us. We tried asking for direction, but once we said no underpass everyone drew a blank. We were at this for I dunno, an hour, maybe, it felt like an eternity and I couldn’t stop anywhere for more than a few seconds because I would be blocking traffic and people would go nuts. At some point the thought crossed my mind… fuck it… I’m just stopping right here and let the cops come, maybe they can tell me how the hell to get out of here. Luckily I managed to get out, but I’m curious what would have happened if I had gone that route? Would they have gotten me out? Would they have found a big ass tow truck and towed me? Would they have given me a ticket and left me in the middle of the street? |

Seriously, trucks/trailers/busses are not allowed on *any Parkways in NY State due to low bridges. About 2/3 of the major through-roads in the NYC area are Parkways. Many have low-hanging bars and chains over entrance ramps, to wake up truck drivers before they enter and whack a bridge. It seems that every day, there's a TV news story about a truck jamming a Parkway for hours because it got stuck under a bridge despite all of the warning equipment and signs. This Parkway traffic jam brought to you by Robert Moses.....

Right after like VA it became a total cluster fuck. We were following the GPS and were on what seemed like a fairly large highway after crossing a bridge which probably cost us $100. Then out of nowhere we see a sign on the hwy of low clearance like 10’ or 11'. I’m like 11 and change so I get worried with anything under 12’. So I had no choice but to get off the hwy. This was a few years ago so I’m sure my memory is no exact. I think it was the bronx. I think I remember seeing a sign for the bronx zoo or something, but who knows. |

It definitely sounds like you crossed the George Washington Bridge, were on the Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95) north, and somehow exited onto either the Bronx River PARKWAY (no trucks/trailers) or the Hutchinson River PARKWAY (no trucks/trailers). If you were following a non-truck-specific GPS, I'd put my money on the Hutch, since Google and other car-centric GPS units prefer the Hutch and Merritt Parkways over the parallel I-95 into Connecticut and on to Boston and points north.
FWIW, I don't live anywhere near the city, but used to have to tow my enclosed race car hauler through there several weekends per year.....
