Default Houston Police

I usually hate on cops for generally being useless tax collectors, but today that is not the case. I think the rest of the country needs to take a few lessons from the way Texas operates, they do have some good ideas and policies. Not even gonna get into the Second Amendment freedoms they uphold (which I agree with), but instead of installing speed cameras or some other scam bullshit, their new actions help reduce true crime and help innocent people, +1 Texas!!

We have plenty who sit behind the median waiting to nab someone going 5mph over the speed limit, as well. I agree that this is a good idea, though. It's still impossible to drive any kind of modded Civic/CRX/Integra/Prelude down here without it disappearing. The S2000 will be next once market value drops a bit more.

If I ever steal a car, I'll keep announcing, "God damn, this is the second time Grandma lost her keys and made me hotwire her car". Then, if it's a bait car, I'll pretend I mistook her car for this one and say the proof is on the video.

Dude I swear I've seen this on Cops like YEARS ago and we do have it here in California too.. There was even a show on Court TV called "Bait Car" I have no clue why they're giving Texas all the credit

I've definitely seen something like that on tv before. It was probably on tru tv, discovery, or tlc. one of those.
