There's a helicopter hanging in the air down the block, and a couple of others circling 'round. The stationary one just looks around. Things aren't supposed to hang in one place in the air unless suspended.

Diss, who knows man.. if cops wanted me to open my bags for them (which wouldn't happen but assuming it would), I woudl HOPE I had 16 inch dildo in there. I love it when people have to go through my stuff at airport, and for example my last batch of clean clothes is on me. I ALWAYS put the underwear exactly in the middle, so they won't see it, but they'll grab it like blinded and then I like to say 'my underwear'. That's usually when they pull their hands out and leave me be.

Best was in these festivals once, where they could check your bags for bottles and weapons, well, I had just put my boxers in there that were sweaty as hell from doing all kinds of summer acitivies the whole day. The poor guy was also some kind of volunteer. I laughed my ass off, and he was pissed off but couldn't shut me up because I have power. So he just submitted and let me in

It was priceless. I mean he had no rubber gloves or nothing! I didn't do it on purpose, but he said 'looks like you poured some beer in here'. NO! It's my NUTSWEAT! yeaa duuuude!

Also be grateful he isn't under 18, there is a lot of institutionalized ageism out there. Among police and everyone else.

About cops though.. I like cops so don't get me wrong. But there's this joke with most black comedians in the states, where they talk/joke about white people not believing at first, that black people (esp. young males) were beaten up by polics and even killed, and then framed to be a drug dealer adn what not. There's not just one person, there's like most who says it. How would you folks who knwo about this better analyze this anyway? False, true to certain extent, completely true?

In most states in the U.S., it's illegal for people under the age of 18 to be out past 10pm during school nights unless they are on their way home. During non-school nights, cufew is midnight.

no, there's a curfew for all teenagers in most counties in america (this can vary by county or city). Most of the time it's 12:00 AM, but some cities I heard have it at 10:00 PM. People under 18 aren't supposed to be out later than that.

It's not really enforced where I live. Teenagers like race late at night and get themselves (or others) killed. No one seems to care.

My city also has a law about teenagers with Nevada plates driving down the Las Vegas strip at night. This was put into place more to deal with traffic. Teens aren't really allowed to do anything in my city, so they would just cruise down the strip doing nothing.

Exactly Pekka. Except its not a laughing matter, its a very serious infringement on the civil liberties of young people in this country, and just feeds the police state mindset that harrassed Che and lots of others like him.

Curfews are just one of the terrible laws my organization fights.

It hurts a little to agree with Pekka but with such laws, I really can't anything but laugh at Che because some policeman politely asks what he has in his backpack.

Suffering from ads?

Curfews are enforced about as often as jaywalking- that is, pretty much never. They're throwbacks to an earlier time.

Or in specific instances like Devils Night in Detroit, where the curfew is imposed to keep young punks from committing mass arson.

Not here in Virginia. It's just illegal for us to drive after midnight, IIRC, and then only if it's not from a "school event".

Plus it's basically a secondary offense, like not having your driver's license.

yeah, go on, defend the practice straight from hell. a) it doesn't make sense b) it limits the freedom of citizens because of their age c) sounds like nanny state to me, which is the trademark for welfare states.

How about not letting adults out, between 18 and 28? I'm sure they are more dangerous, ESPECIALLY at night.
