F--k You, NYPD!

Here is a tale of my tax dollars at work.

Recently, I was driving in Staten Island (or as I like to call it, "That god-forsaken sandbar"). After I got off the West Shore Expressway, I turned onto Arden Avenue, which is an overpass, that has an obstructed view. As I made my turn, I noticed the police car, suspiciously sitting behind the trees that create the aforementioned obstruction, active its lights and make a U-turn. Being an experienced driver, I pulled to the right and slowed until I noticed that the police car was not passing me, but pulling me over. Me! I know!

Because of the trees, he couldn't use any speed detection technology as I approached the turn, and there was certainly no indication that I was speeding as I made the turn; so, WTF? As officer dipshit approached the vehicle, he said that I was being pulled over for having tinted windows. That's right, not the front of rear windshields, but the driver's and front passenger's windows. After explaining that it is illegal in all states to have those two windows tinted, he asked me if that law is enforced in South Carolina (the state that the vehicle is register in) and asked for my license and registration. As I handed my New York State drivers license to him, I said, "I don't know. I am not a South Carolina resident." After answering a question about who owned the vehicle, I drove off without any type of summons or citation.

So, Mr. "Term Limits Don't Apply to Me" Bloomberg and Mr. Kelly, I have a few questions for you. First, are tinted windows illegal in every state, or are they only illegal in New York City, when you have a South Carolina license plate (until you show a New York State drivers license)? Based on the fact that New York City had to pay $30,000 because the police don't even know the laws of their own city, how the hell can officer dipshit be an authority on laws in any other state? Finally, with all of the free time that the police seem to have (pulling me over on false premise, the subway wallet sting, the unconstitutional searches at the Staten Island ferry terminals, the $30,000 subway photography incident, shooting unarmed blacks an obscene amount of times), I guess you caught all the terrorists, right?

The way I see it is, if the police have this much free time, you can balance the city's budget by laying off some of these cops and giving up your limo and taking the subway to and from Gracie Manson and City Hall (just don't pick up any wallets).
