plays the "do you know who I am" card, skates. No running the plate; no check for warrants; doesn't even have to produce ID/proof of insurance>The video shows Lombardo, the former Clark County sheriff, in a Ford pickup truck being stopped near Mandalay Bay on May 15 with his wife, Donna, in the front passenger seat.>“Hello, how are you doing, sir?” the sergeant says upon approaching the pickup on the passenger side.>“Good,” the governor responds.>The sergeant introduces himself and says, “The reason I’m stopping you is for the —”“>I’m Joe Lombardo,” the governor immediately blurts out.
>>538961071Great thread.
>>538961071>Joe>Clearly a womanwhy are you Americans like this
Can't there be a little room for common sense in policing?>I obviously recognize you and I know that there are no warrants against you but I have to follow procedure anywayThat would just waste time. Is a Brazil-style dystopian bureaucracy really what we want implemented?
