Virginia legislature passes bill preventing cops from stopping cars with no headlights, brake lights, etc.

RICHMOND, VA- The pure “genius†of the Virginia General Assembly knows no bounds.
One of the leading indicators of a drunk driver at night is a car that is operating with no lights on. Criminals who are casing neighborhoods for burglaries also like to cruise around with their lights off.
Under a law passed by the General Assembly, police officers would no longer be able to use operating without lights lit as probable cause to conduct a traffic stop. There are numerous other equipment violations that are included as well.
As we said, pure genius.
Yahoo News, citing a report from The Daily Press, says the legislation, which is headed to the desk of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D), also bars police from stopping cars for a variety of equipment violations—from darkly tinted windows (another tactic enjoyed by criminals) to faulty brake lights, loud mufflers, or objects dangling from rearview mirrors.

For those of us who have come around a turn to see a charcoal gray car with no lights on at twilight, well, we understand this is a safety issue.
Expect the death toll on Virginia's highways to climb.
From a local police officer: "One in four vehicles traveling at night without headlights (in town) is being operated by someone who is DUI."

It is also against the law. But now local Virginia police are being barred by the Commonwealth from enforcing the law.
In the near future, they will be ordering local police to pull people over for this perfectly legal 'offense':

Virginia seems to be lost and slipping past the point where it will ever be reclaimed.
Too bad we can't split off "North/East Virginia" into a separate state, and let "South/West Virginia" go its own way.

To be fair, a silver lining... Cut out switches and driving on the ambers should now be technically legal for moonshine runs.

It's been done Successfully before @Fishrrman. Just ask West 'By G_d' Virginians.

That's why NASCAR cars don't have lights.

Wow, that was quick, removing my truthful, factual post about drunk illegal T-BONING my car. Why do so many pretend, they don't drink a lot?

I know nothing about your post being removed @LegalAmerican
What I do know is that I drink a lot BUT I never drive when intoxicated, EVER! Maybe you were painting with your broad brushes again, just saying. :shrug:

No broad brush. Just some facts. It is the PEOPLE, who think, it INCLUDES THEMSELVES. Why do people do that? I don't know anyone on here! WHY PLACE YOURSELVES IN MY POST. NOT ABOUT YOU. I do know , the people I've had interactions with. Board Brush? STOP THINKING IT IS ABOUT, YOU. I am not the problem. It is the people, who WANT TO BE IN THE BROAD BRUSH. So, now each time I have to say, DISCLAIMER; NOT ABOUT ANYONE ON HERE POSTING.

See? NOTHING, about you CORBE. I don't know if you drink, nor care. Nor, do I need to know. Why would you post about your drinking habits? Makes my point. NOT ABOUT....YOU. People need to stop thinking it is ALWAYS ABOUT THEMSELVES.

Me too... I don't don't, but I have to stay away from the hard stuff pretty much. But even with beer, if i have four I am alright... If I have 5 I will be waking up in a ditch somewhere day after tomorrow. So needless to say, I maintain a reduced consumption compared to my 'glory days'.
Still a sucker for a tailgate party or a bonfire.

I Love You @LegalAmerican

Like they say, You can't fix stupid but you can elect them to office.
Which leads me to believe that stupid people elect stupid people to office and conclude that there are a lot of stupid people out there!
...and you can't drink stupid smart!

No, you can't. All you can do is hope it passes out before it gets to the car.

Dam, @LegalAmerican you just posted a 'If your erection last longer than 4 hours' video, and we were just getting started.
Isn't there other Threads where you can post your Trump p0rn, asking for a Friend.
Incidentally, I still love you.

Hey @corbe do you have a picture of one of those lovely ladies in front of a '54 Caddy? I'm thinking of the days when bumpers were bumpers... :whistle:

@LegalAmerican it isn't hard to post on-topic. Illegal immigration and the ethnic percentages of those who commit crime are irrelevant to this thread.
If you do not like a Moderator's action PM one of the Admins instead of shit-stirring like this post.
Edited to add: If you want to post a 4 hour video of a Trump rally, post it in the Election forum. As I posted in Morse code, "Don't feed the Moderators."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Word to a wise guy, don't insult members, even in Morse code.
