"I gestured to the guy in front that I just wanted to go straight, but he wouldn't let me and forced me into a parking spot," she said. Once parked, she couldn't believe what she was asked next.
"They were asking for cheek swabs," she said. "They would give $10 for that. Also, if you let them take your blood, they would pay you $50 for that."
At the very least, she said, they wanted to test her breath for alcohol.
She said she felt trapped.
The popo were just brimming with information from the first, too:
Fort Worth police earlier said they could not immediately find any record of officer involvement but police spokesman Sgt. Kelly Peel said Tuesday that the department's Traffic Division coordinated with the NHTSA on the use of off-duty officers after the agency asked for help with the survey.
And they just couldn't find any information on this at first. Right...*
And, the TSA not thinking it's a big enough pain in the ass already,
Not content with the tight security in place at many of the nations airports, the TSA is now funding the roll-out of exit pods at major airport terminals across the country.
The pods temporarily detain passengers before they are allowed to leave.
Travelers are forced through the pods as the leave the airport terminal before a robotic voice gives instructions to wait inside the pod until a green light is shown and the door opens.
Once travelers exit the pods, they are unable to re-enter the terminal.
Just how many problems can you foresee with this shit?
That single mom who was thanking Obama for her cheap insurance? Oops, the actual numbers finally got to her.
Unfortunately, Washington State did finally got back to Sanford about her application. That $452 subsidy we said you’d get? That was a mistake. You actually get zero. So for that gold plan, instead of paying $169 per month, you’d pay $621 per month.
Sorry about that.
Now she says her dream of affordable health insurance has gone poof. She can’t afford it. She’ll have to go without. “I’m really terribly embarrassed,” she says. “It has completely turned around on me. I mean, completely.”
Friend's father was kind of touch & go for a while, then settled in and started a pretty remarkable recovery. Can you say 'relieved'?
And now I'm beat, and will try to provide more entertainment later.
*Yes, I know, they may be that incompetent; or they may have hoped the question would go away. I just don't trust them anymore.

Been thinking of the Fort Worth issue -- consider this: No cop is ever off duty, right?
They tell us that all the time. They justify their salary, their ability to carry firearms, etc all on that aspect. NO cop is ever off duty.
Then also consider that it is illegal to disobey the legal commands of an officer.
Catch 22 and then some.
