I thought the manufacturers had already managed to make this stuff non-flammable. I know several years ago we went through a huge push to check all of our spray and confirm that it wasn't flammable due to the public being afraid that our tasers would light somebody up like a Christmas tree after being sprayed.

Despite the fact that any decent cop I've worked with understands that spray is one of the least useful tools on our belt. (At least in my experience and the anecdotal evidence from two different agencies in northern California.) I stopped carrying the stuff at least two years before I got hurt. It just was never a useful enough tool for me to expose myself and my partners to it instead of just going hands on or using Mr. Edison's electronic shooting machine.

my understanding is a lot of manufacturers were marking their poo poo "non-flammable" which they claimed was technically true, since only the propellant was flammable and not the spray itself. We tested a bunch of freeze +p that would light up pretty well even though it was clearly marked "non-flammable" :suspense:

Yeah the spray won't burn but the propellant certainly will!

FaceTime video chat driver stopped by Surrey Police

A motorist was seen using video chat app FaceTime while driving, Surrey Police have revealed. The unnamed car driver was using a tablet on their lap while at the wheel. Officers spotted the incident during a three-month pilot scheme which used an unmarked HGV tractor to target lorry drivers breaking the law.

Insp Richard Mallett, of the Surrey Roads Policing Unit, said officers had also spotted a lorry driver texting with one foot on the dashboard. "The person FaceTiming was actually a car driver, but because we were higher up, we could see down into the car," he said. He said most of those stopped were lorry drivers, but that a significant number of car drivers were also driving "appallingly".

A total of 436 vehicles were stopped between February and earlier this month, 270 of which were commercial vehicles. Some 333 drivers were given fixed penalty notices, 44 were given words of advice, 27 got graduated fixed penalties - given to those who do not have UK addresses - and eight were summonsed. Insp Mallett said a knife with a 6in (15cm) blade had been seized from a Dutch lorry driver, who said in Holland it was "a little knife".

"One chap admitted 'I haven't worn a seatbelt for 20 years - this is the first time I've been stopped'," he added. A petrol tanker driver "begged" officers not to tell his employer he was not wearing his seatbelt because he would lose his job, the force said.

A Lithuanian lorry driver said he was driving while using his mobile phone because it was unlawful to stop on the hard shoulder. A driver who "hogged" lane three said: "It's your fault, officer, you shouldn't have been so close behind me". Another, stopped for speeding, said: "How am I supposed to know my speed?"

The three-month pilot, called Operation Tramline, was led by Surrey Police and included officers from Sussex, Hampshire and the Thames Valley and Warwickshire, in partnership with the Highways Agency. Insp Mallett said the force felt the scheme had been successful. "Any incident we prevent prevents delays to the network and reduces the numbers of injuries and casualties on our roads," he said.

Nostalgia4Infinity: Feb 27, 2007; 10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING

So I saw a video where an Oklahoma state trooper ignored a deaf guy signing that he's deaf after he got pulled over and pulled said dude out of his car and beat him because he wasn't complying.

Dude was also black.

So look forward to that being used as an excuse to paint all police officers with the same brush by ACAB types.

It's not really a sequel or remake of the film Fargo so you could enjoy this without having seen that movie (watch it anyway, one of the Coen's best) but there's a lot of references to all the Coen's films and some of the characters are absolutely homages to iconic Coen characters.

So far it's taken the setting of the film Fargo (small town frozen tundra Branisland) and added Satan personified who's just going around doing terrible things that ammuse him (and the audience). Billy Bob Thornton will probably be nominated for an emmy (and lose to McConaughey :buddy:

)
