It has been introduced in the legislature (both chambers) and referred to the respective committees, but nothing further. As far as I can tell it is still a direct violation and a legal stop.
Hmm. In that case, someone needs to tell the sheriff's office and the MSP because they are doing ZERO about it now and for the last few YEARS.
Are you speaking of the period when the Fauci Flu was running rampant and the governor gave people a break on tag renewals since MVA wasn't really doing their job?
Mommy Dearest, may God bless her soul, left me the house, because I was the wayward son and she knew, that I gave up a lot of life to make sure she died in the house that Dad built for her. Taxes are eating away at retirement funds and I may have to bail and go elsewhere. Sad, because I love fishing and I know the waters.
No.. I am talking about the YEARS since we have been out of COVID. Since the "break" was ended.
I was reminiscing over some old fishing pictures the other day with friends that are no longer with me. Those were great times spent on the Potomac and out in the bay. One of them was of the Tackle Box bragging board loaded with 20-30 inch weakfish from back in the late 90s. I know those days won't return just like the people I spent them with. Maybe a new adventure in a new place wouldn't be a bad thing.
Have you contacted the sheriff or local MSP barrack commander and inquired about this?
Last time I inquired about it, I was told "Don't worry.. eventually they will be caught."
Inquired of whom?
Boss? Since I've been retired for almost 18 years you must be talking about my wife. I tell her that all the time.
MSP at Leonardtown barracks. Had a repair ticket for brake light. Asked them about all the expired tags. Was told "They will be caught eventually." This was about a year ago.
Am I correct in assuming that you had a job at some point in your life? You say you are "retired." Assuming you retired from a job. Where you had a "boss." At that time, did you ever tell that boss that you would complete your work "eventually?"
Based on your posts I take it that you weren't satisfied with that response, did you elevate your concern?MSP at Leonardtown barracks. Had a repair ticket for brake light. Asked them about all the expired tags. Was told "They will be caught eventually." This was about a year ago.
It is a fact that I am retired, several posters here even showed at my retirement party. I do not recall ever telling any boss that I would get to it eventually. But then again I didn't have the discretion to ignore tasks, orders, or laws like LEOs apparently have.
Elevate it to whom? Barracks commander? Governor??
THIS is the disturbing part. That it is widely "acceptable" that LEOs just disregard portions of their job. When questioned, you get responses like "Why don't you just sign up, do a ride along, etc."
Yeah, both of those would be good and you also have other elected representatives at county and state level that you could voice your complaints with. That might gain more traction than bitching about it on the forums.
You seem to want to, man up, join the force and show them how its done.
Ahh yes. Another in the long line of deniers that wear the blue lipstick
As I thought, you just want to cry and whine. You brought your gripe to a desk officer at the barrack and nothing more. Such a noble warrior for rule of law and justice you are.Ahh yes. Another in the long line of deniers that wear the blue lipstick
I mean... GOD FORBID we ask our holier-than-thou LEO to do everything they signed up for. And, by doing that, possibly save taxpayer money. What an outlandish idea...
You know I don't really have a problem with the police being able to have some discretion in some things. I'm not saying a wholesale refusal to apply the law, but the ability to cut someone a break depending on the circumstances. One point that I do have though is this is not ever to save anyone any money, it's strictly a way to force the citizenry to pay more into the governors pet projects.Ahh yes.
