The drug dog thing on I-70

[cfbandyman]

One time I California rolled a stop sign by Hale Library at 4AM on a Tuesday after a study sesh.  He told me he could give me a big ticket and I was all "pffft I pay your salary dude."  I got a warning.  Don't know how I did that as I was a dick to him.

Only time I have been pulled over was a similar situation at 3am on a Wednesday. Cop asked if I had been drinking, I pointed to my backpack and said "I've been doing homework, I want to go to bed" gave me a warning and that was that.

i watch these videos and think man i'm going to mush that cop hard next time. then rcpd pulls me over because i have a headlight out, take one look at my license and say HA nerd and throw it back in my face. everything i've been pulled over for has been legitimate - annoying, but legitimate i suppose... like failing to signal, using my brights too much, not braking long enough... whoops. even though they're annoying, usually pretty pleasant interactions with rcpd traffic police. however, got pulled over for going 62 in a 60 in texas on a highway right after passing through the OK border. so i can understand how annoying those big ego power trip officers are since most seem to be in tx, az, nm, etc.

oh my god you are one of those people

it was once. Highway 24 at 3 am during the rut and he came around a bend (the only other car i saw for about 15 min), i flipped them off quick but he turned around and told me i nearly cause him to wreck. lowly pott co. sheriff.

a LOT of mistakes made in this thread. the biggest of which probably has to do with someone saying that Colorado overcharges for its pot. not cool, guys. not cool.

sorry guys. i didn't read the article. not cool of me, guys. not cool.

The next morning, the CNBC crew met us at 10 a.m. at our hotel. Meghan asked each of us if we thought the trip was worth it. We all agreed it was a positive experience.

We weren't given a specific date for its airing, nor were we told the title of the documentary, but they said it should air in a month or two.

Anybody else notice that they put up fake cop lights and flares out by tall grass road at night now? That crap is going to cause a wreck

Friend told me about that. Ridiculous.

I really hate these video producing douchebags.  Guess what, you're not resisting tyranny by being a dick to a border patrol agent.


But to the point of the I70 checks, they've had various lights out their in addition to their drug dogs and currency check signs.  If you notice they are usually on the south side but sometimes they sit on the north side under the bridge.   I really enjoy doing the speed limit when everyone slows down to 60ish mph.

Bob Krinhop was working at Perry Lake, in northeast Kansas, some years ago when on his frequent trips to nearby Topeka his inventive mind homed in on something he saw, or rather he didn't see.

"This little truck came by, and it had a puny little trailer on it," he said. "I was halfway into town when I saw another little truck with a puny trailer on it."

These trailers were bumper-hitched, which put most of the trailer weight on the rear wheels of the trucks. Why not a goose-neck model that connects to the truck bed and distributes the load over all four wheels?

"I got to looking into it, did a patent search and I discovered nobody is building a trailer of this type," Krinhop said. "I couldn't come up with one good reason why it shouldn't be made."

Krinhop knows why it can't be made by him, at least right now: He lacks the money for the necessary federal ratings and for constructing a prototype. But thanks to Colorado's liberal marijuana laws, Krinhop says he's found a way to raise the money, and he's not blowing smoke.
Krinhop has launched Discovery Tours to haul paying guests to Pueblo, Colo., to partake of Colorado's legalization of marijuana.
"I just got back with my first paying customers," he said.

Krinhop, a longtime member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, doesn't have any qualms about the marijuana trips.

"I've been politically active in the decriminalization of marijuana for 34 years," Krinhop said. "I'm doing this for the money I need to pay for my project."

Krinhop has an engineering and drafting background and initially worked as a welder for Wyatt Manufacturing. He moved to its engineering department and helped design an interior and exterior wood-burning forced-air furnace and other projects.

Eventually, he started his own company, Krinhop Technologies, under which he now is trying to manufacture and market the gooseneck trailer as well as a hay transport for which he already has regulatory approval.

Funding needed Krinhop's immediate need is finding -- and paying -- a mechanical engineer who can green-light the special hitch, or stem coupler, that's unique to his trailer, which he is calling the "Phoenix."

Although the Phoenix will attach to a truck in similar fashion as a larger gooseneck trailer, the connection differs enough that it requires federal approval and a signature of a qualified engineer who actually has done stress tests on the device.
Krinhop figures he'll need about $3,000 just to get a certified rating.
"I don't have that kind of money," he said.

He's also developed a double row hay transport called the "HaulzitALL" that already has passed government muster and awaits only the construction of a prototype. Krinhop hasn't the cash for that, either.
Chamber support

However, he has an ally in the form of the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce.
"We assisted him in finding a drafting engineer to transfer drawings to electronic format," said Larry Powell, the chamber's director of business retention and expansion.

"The problem with his gooseneck trailer, he's created a new hitching mechanism, and that mechanism needs to be certified or rated," Powell said. "It needs a mechanical engineer to review the device, then he can go into construction if he can find someone to build it."

The hay transport, however, is ready to roll.

"That trailer could go to production right now," Powell said. "The chamber has been helping him look for a manufacturer and aiding him in trying to find an engineer. What he really needs is to find a trailer manufacturer that has an engineer on staff and agree to go into business with him."

There are no local trailer manufacturers, but Krinhop is not ready to take his projects elsewhere.
"I want to build it locally and create jobs," he said.

They had the currency check, drug dog signs up last night between Manhattan and Topeka, some poor soul was pulled over trying to get back on I-70. What the heck is a currency check anyway?

[puniraptor]

driving on I-70 there were FAKE cop lights set up on the side of the road.

Just a stick in the ground with flashing cop lights mounted on  top.

any scoops on what the eff is the deal with that? same as the drug dog fake checkpoint scheme?

[EllRobersonisInnocent]

So incredibly stupid and useless.

Probably making sure people don't have pesos. Only illegals that take our jobs and vote for democrats have pesos on them.

I saw that too right after the drug check point when i was coming back to KC after Fake Patties. No clue as to why it was after the drug check point (unless to give the illusion a cop had pulled someone over from afar) but it was pretty easy to tell from a long ways away something didn't look right, like as if it was a bunch of lights or something on stick or something...

To what end? Slow folk down?

Aren't gooseneck trailers already a thing?

to make them think there is an actual drug checkpoint ahead. it probably works better at night. might also seem more real if you are running drugs or a teenage stoner.

one of the signs said "CURRENCY CHECKPOINT AHEAD"?

I think it's something like if you are carrying over 10 or 20 thousand on you, you have to be able explain how/why you have that much cash on you or they can seize it until a reasonable explanation is presented. (saw it on the wire)

That seems incredibly liable to power trips and also illegal

There is no way they can search you without a reasonable cause. Maybe it's time for Limestone, or possibly BSAC, to start a thread titled "BLOW HUGE HOLES IN COP'S TACTICS" thread.

Well in the wire they had cause, so go suck the business end of a .357 magnum
