Sorry if I wasn't clear. I wasn't talking about the young woman, I was talking about this guy with his interesting vehicle mods, without which the police probably wouldn't have questioned him for more than half an hour on the side of the road, nor arrested him for the large OC canister.

I don't recall TCD mentioning the size of his friend's pepper spray, but if she bought it at Walmart it's likely smaller than the one in my pic.

Re: Attempted rape / pepper spray / issue

To give a little perspective on OC canisters, here's a 45g (1.59oz) canister next to some common household objects. I can't fault a police officer for believing an OC canister more than twice this size doesn't meet the definition of a "small" container of OC.
