Can a Cop answer this question for me?

[MMDad]

I can honestly say I have never seen a deputy or trooper smoking in their car.

I've never seen a trooper or Calvert cop do it, but the boys in baby blue do it all the time.

:shrug: No, it's not.

Oh, are we going to be disagreeable BS Gal today?

Yes.

Since I see cops throwing their butts out the window, I suspect it's selective vision by the cops rather than people not doing it.

I'm surprised they don't set up at the 235/4 intersection at the end of the month and fill up their quota. They could set up a cop with binoculars and a video camera (for use in court) watching the left turn lane, then have a production line writing tickets.

I thought our cops were supposed to be tobacco free...

But if I put my butts in the ashtray where would I store my loose change?

For all intents and purposes, everything on this earth is degradeable (as can somewhat be seen on from the page in this link), but not everything is BIOdegradable. And by degradable, it means that it can even take decades, but the material will degrade.


Back on topic...I saw a show on tv where the cop gave the guy a ticket for throwing a "lit object" out the window. (cigarette). This may have been somewhere like california though with different laws?

They do get their tobacco for free.

I almost wrecked my car after tossing a cigarette out the window when I was 18.

Rolling on down Plum Point Road with all my windows down. Tossed my Marlboro out my front drivers side window, it flew around and got sucked in the back window. The lit butt went down the back of my shirt.

Yeeeeeeooooow! I went swerving all over the place before I managed to pull off and get out to find a hole burnt thru my shirt and on the back of my driver's seat.

I've long since quit smoking.

The filters don't.

Being conservation minded this is why I smoke Camel non-filters. I also ensure there is no dried grass/weeds on the side of the road when I flip one out. Putting them out in the ashtray makes the car stink plus makes extra work when I have to dump it.

But the filters make good ear plugs for when the bassers pull up next to you.

[Peter Forsberg]

Thanks for the wonderful Karma...Chicken #### why not sign. "suck my death stick you puzzy" Were you the one that burnt down the Lighthouse with your cig?

 

[Peter Forsberg]

Biodegradable not.

Is a cigarette really considered "litter" though? They are biodegradable (after some time anyway).

If you think Cigs are Biodegradable I'll take you on my next adopt a highway outing and you can see how biodegradable they are.

From the "Report Local Bad Drivers!" thread:

You know, one of the things hubby and I have noticed is that when someone is caught or called on for doing something wrong, and they know it, they get pissed off. Go figure.

Maybe there's a link...
