probable cause to pull me over......

Most CHL/LEO contacts are positive, how about yours? Bloopers are fun, but no names please, if it will cause a LEO problems!

I know this is Texas, where everybody has somebody in the family who drives a truck, but still.... he never heard of delivery? That's the only way Ashley does business. You don't buy anything from Ashley and take it home, you pick it out, pay for it, and they pull stock from the warehouse and deliver it the next day.
You mean to say that having a truck is not compulsory? When I moved to TX, first thing I did was buy a truck. I thought it was the law. :biggrinjester:

Really, can you please post the statute that backs this statement up?
Probable cause is needed for arrest. Reasonable suspicion is all that is needed to pull you over.
And the crowd goes wild!!!

Unless it's for speeding, in which case they need probable cause to search you via radar and pull you over as a result. Reasonable suspicion would be reason enough to measure speed by pacing (actually, they don't even need to meet that standard in order to pace you, since they can drive whatever speed they wish).

Or a visual estimate. Hard to pace an oncoming vehicle.

*My wife was pulled over four times last year while driving my dually. Each time she was given a warning for no mud flaps. What’s interesting is that I have never been pulled over for flaps. :headscratch Yes, they’re on now.

I knew it!

No doubt I would have been given a ticket for the flaps and disturbing the peace with my looks.

I'd just go for the arrest. Gotta make numbers and get that revenue.
